A comparison of approximate Viterbi techniques and particle filtering for data estimation in digital communications
We consider trellis-based algorithms for data estimation in digital communication systems. We present a general framework which includes approximate Viterbi algorithms like the M-...

Improving speech recognition by explicit modeling of phone deletions
In a paper published by Greenberg in 1998, it was said that in conversational speech, phone deletion rate may go as high as 12% whereas syllable deletion rate is about 1%. The fi...

Balancing false alarms and hits in Spoken Term Detection
This paper presents methods to improve retrieval of Out-OfVocabulary (OOV) terms in a Spoken Term Detection (STD) system. We demonstrate that automated tagging of OOV regions help...
