Inducing a grammar from text has proven to be a notoriously challenging learning task despite decades of research. The primary reason for its difficulty is that in order to induce...
This paper presents a statistical model for expressing preferences through rankings, when the number of alternatives (items to rank) is large. A human ranker will then typically r...
This study develops a least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM) based model for bivariate process to diagnose abnormal patterns of process mean vector, and to help identify a...
The phenomenon of anticipatory coarticulation provides a basis for the observed asynchrony between the acoustic and visual onsets of phones in certain linguistic contexts. This ty...

We consider the problem of predicting the surface pronunciations of a word in conversational speech, using a model of pronunciation variation based on articulatory features. We bu...
We manually designed rules for a backchannel (BC) prediction model based on pitch and pause information. In short, the model predicts a BC when there is a pause of a certain lengt...
Current speech recognition systems are often based on HMMs with state-clustered Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) to represent the context dependent output distributions. Though high...
We propose a novel approach to modeling prosodic features. Inspired by Joint Factor Analysis model (JFA), our model is based on the same idea of introducing subspace of model para...

This paper explores an application of support vector regression (SVR) to model predictive control (MPC). SVR is employed to identify a dynamic system from input-output data, and t...
