Previous approaches to instruction interpretation have required either extensive domain adaptation or manually annotated corpora. This paper presents a novel approach to instructi...

This paper presents an experiment in speech recognition whereby multiple phoneme recognisers are applied to the same utterance. When these recognisers agree on an hypothesis for th...
Using GMM-supervectors as the input to SVM classifiers (namely, GMM-SVM) is one of the promising approaches to text-independent speaker verification. However, one unaddressed issu...
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) applications for improving the oral skills of low-proficient learners have to cope with nonnative speech that is particularly challengin...

Unrehearsed spoken language often contains disfluencies. In order to correctly interpret a spoken utterance, any such disfluencies must be identified and removed or otherwise deal...
We develop a method to detect erroneous interpretation results of user utterances by exploiting utterance histories of individual users in spoken dialogue systems that were deploy...
Abstract-- This paper presents a fully automatic news skimming system which takes a broadcast news audio stream and provides the user with the segmented, structured and highlighted...
Robustness is one of the most important topics for automatic speech recognition (ASR) in practical applications. Monaural speech separation based on computational auditory scene a...
With human language, the same utterance can have different meanings in different contexts. Nevertheless, listeners almost invariably converge upon the correct intended meaning. Th...
This paper presents a unified theory of verbal irony tbr developing a computational model of irony. The theory claims that an ironic utterance implicitly communicates the fact tha...
