Duration of phonemic segments provide important cues for distinguishing words in languages such as Arabic. Recently, we proposed a discriminatively estimated joint acoustic, durat...
Minimum phone error (MPE) acoustic parameter estimation involves calculation of edit distances (errors) between correct and incorrect hypotheses. In the context of large vocabulary...
As multilingual products and technology grow in importance, the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC) intends to provide the resources needed for research and development activities, e...
The major challenges that sign language recognition (SLR) now faces are developing methods that solve large vocabulary continuous sign problems. In this paper, large vocabulary co...
Hitherto, one major challenge to sign language recognition is how to develop approaches that scale well with increasing vocabulary size. In large vocabulary speech recognition real...
Sign language recognition (SLR) with large vocabulary and signer independency is valuable and is still a big challenge. Signer adaptation is an important solution to signer indepen...
In this paper two aspects of generating and using phonetic Arabic dictionaries are described. First, the use of single pronunciation acoustic models in the context of Arabic large...
