Highly Accurate Phonetic Segmentation Using Boundary Correction Models and System Fusion
Accurate phone-level segmentation of speech remains an important task for many subfields of speech research. We investigate techniques for boosting the accuracy of automatic phonetic segmentation based on HMM acoustic-phonetic…

Adaptive and Discriminative Modeling for Improved Mispronunciation Detection
In the context of computer-aided language learning, automatic detection of specific phone mispronunciations by nonnative speakers can be used to provide detailed feedback about specific pronunciation problems.

Simplified VTS-Based I-Vector Extraction in Noise-Robust Speaker Recognition
In this work, we propose an efficient simplification scheme, named sVTS, in order to show that the VTS approach gives improvements in large scale applications compared to state-of-the-art systems.

Identification and optimization of PDE10A inhibitors using fragment-based screening by nanocalorimetry and X-ray crystallography
Here we use enthalpy arrays, which are arrays of nanocalorimeters, to perform an enzyme activity-based fragment screen for competitive inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A).
