Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are powerful statistical models that have found successful applications in Information Extraction (IE). In current approaches to applying HMMs to IE, a...
Recently various techniques to improve the correlation model of feature vector elements in speech recognition systems have been proposed. Such techniques include semi-tied covaria...
We describe feature space and model space discriminative training for a new class of acoustic models called Bayesian sensing hidden Markov models (BS-HMMs). In BS-HMMs, speech dat...
This paper presents a Bayesian method for temporally aligning a music score and an audio rendition. A critical problem in audio-toscore alignment is in dealing with the wide varie...
