This paper presents a framework for maximum a posteriori (MAP) speaker adaptation of state duration distributions in hidden Markov models (HMM). Four key issues of MAP estimation, ...
Background: Baum-Welch training is an expectation-maximisation algorithm for training the emission and transition probabilities of hidden Markov models in a fully automated way. I...
In this paper we present a novel scheme for unstructured audio scene classification that possesses three highly desirable and powerful features: autonomy, scalability, and robust...

We propose a video event analysis framework based on object segmentation and tracking, combined with a Hidden Semi-Markov Model (HSMM) that uses state occupancy duration modeling....
— With the principal goal of developing an alternative, relatively simple and tractable pricing framework for accurately reproducing a market implied volatility surface, this pap...
