In this paper, we present a method for identifying discourse marker usage in spontaneous speech based on machine learning. Discourse markers are denoted by special POS tags, and t...
In this work a Gaussian Hidden Markov Model (GHMM) based automatic sign language recognition system is built on the SIGNUM database. The system is trained on appearance-based feat...
Defining suitable features for environmental sounds is an important problem in an automatic acoustic scene recognition system. As with most pattern recognition problems, extracti...
In this work we aim to capitalize on the availability of Internet image search engines to automatically create image training sets from user provided queries. This problem is part...
