Pulse compression radar systems make use of transmit code sequences and receive filters that are specially designed to achieve good range resolution and target detection capabili...
Repair or error-recovery strategies are an important design issue in Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDSs) - how to conduct the dialogue when there is no progress (e.g. due to repeated A...
In this paper, we present a multisensor multiband energy tracking scheme for robust feature extraction in noisy environments. We introduce a multisensor feature extraction algorit...
The ability to identify speech acts reliably is desirable in any spoken language system that interacts with humans. Minimally, such a system should be capable of distinguishing be...
As spoken dialogue systems become deployed in increasingly complex domains, they face rising demands on the naturalness of interaction. We focus on system responsiveness, aiming t...
In this work we show how interactivity in a voice-enabled question answering application may improve speech recognition. We allow the user to provide a target named entity before ...
Multicarrier modulation in the form of OFDM has been actively pursued for underwater acoustic communication recently. In this paper, we present a desirable property of OFDM that o...

In this paper we investigate a discriminative approach to feature weighting for topic identification using minimum classification error (MCE) training. Our approach learns featu...
Data-driven Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) systems need semantically annotated data which are expensive, time consuming and prone to human errors. Active learning has been su...
In the context of deployed spoken dialogue telecom services, we introduce a preprocessor called Fiction into the Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) component. It acts as an inter...
