Language modeling for voice search: A machine translation approach
This paper presents a novel approach to language modeling for voice search based on the idea and method of statistical machine translation. We propose an n-gram based translation ...

Stream weight tuning in dynamic Bayesian networks
In this paper we present a family of algorithms for estimating stream weights for dynamic Bayesian networks with multiple observation streams. For the 2 stream case, we present a ...

Mixed-signal parallel compressed sensing and reception for cognitive radio
A parallel structure to do spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radio (CR) at sub-Nyquist rate is proposed. The structure is based on Compressed Sensing (CS) that exploits the sparsity o...

Multi-stream parameterization for structural speech recognition
Recently, a novel and structural representation of speech was proposed [1, 2], where the inevitable acoustic variations caused by nonlinguistic factors are effectively removed fro...

Stylization of pitch with syllable-based linear segments
Fundamental frequency contours for speech, as obtained by common pitch tracking algorithms, contain a great deal of fine detail that is unlikely to hold much perceptual significa...

HMM adaptation using a phase-sensitive acoustic distortion model for environment-robust speech recognition
In this paper, we present a new approach to HMM adaptation that jointly compensates for additive and convolutive acoustic distortion in environment-robust speech recognition. The ...

Combining open vocabulary recognition and word confusion networks
A limitation of most speech recognizers is that they only recognize words from a fixed vocabulary. In this paper, we explore a technique for addressing this deficiency using aut...

Rhetorical-State Hidden Markov Models for extractive speech summarization
We propose an extractive summarization system with a novel non-generative probabilistic framework for speech summarization. One of the most underutilized features in extractive su...

Information theoretic bounds on neural prosthesis effectiveness: The importance of spike sorting
We compute the capacity of neural prostheses using a vector Poisson process model for the neural population channel. For single-electrode stimulation prostheses, the capacity is p...
