Automatic minute generation for parliamentary speech using conditional random fields
We show a novel approach of automatically generating minutes style extractive summaries for parliamentary speech. Minutes are structured summaries consisting of sequences of busin...

Perceptual differentiation modeling explains phoneme mispronunciation by non-native speakers
One of the difficulties in second language (L2) learning is the weakness in discriminating between acoustic diversity within an L2 phoneme category and between different categori...

Robust video object tracking based on multiple kernels with projected gradients
In kernel-based video object tracking, the use of single kernel often suffers from the occlusion. In order to provide more robust tracking performance, multiple inter-related kern...

Bound-ratio minimization of filter bank frames by periodic precoding
Frame (upper and lower) bound ratio is a key factor of numerical stability of frame systems. While tight frames, of which the minimal ratio 1 is achieved, are much preferred in ma...

A dynamic approach to the selection of high order n-grams in phonotactic language recognition
Due to computational bounds, most SVM-based phonotactic language recognition systems consider only low-order n-grams (up to n = 3), thus limiting the potential performance of this...

Robust nonparametric regression by controlling sparsity
Nonparametric methods are widely applicable to statistical learning problems, since they rely on a few modeling assumptions. In this context, the fresh look advocated here permeat...
