Model Adaptation for Dialog Act Tagging
In this study we used the ICSI meeting corpus with high-level meeting recognition dialog act (MRDA) tags, that is, question, statement, backchannel, disruptions, and floor grabbers/holders. We performed controlled adaptation…

Model Adaptation for Sentence Segmentation from Speech
This paper analyzes various methods to adapt sentence segmentation models trained on conversational telephone speech (CTS) to meeting style conversations. The sentence segmentation model trained using a large amount of…

Morphology-based Language Modeling for Conversational Arabic Speech Recognition
In this paper, we investigate improvements in Arabic language modeling by developing various morphology-based language models. We present four different approaches to morphology-based language modeling, including a novel technique called…

Presentation of Information for Link Analysis
SRI's LAW (Link Analysis Workbench) is a system that helps intelligence analysts detect occurrences of situations of interest by finding pattern instances in vast amounts of data using graph edit…

Localization in Horizontal-Only Ambisonic Systems
We test the localization of horizontal-only Ambisonic reproduction systems using various test signals to separately evaluate low-frequency and mid-frequency localization.

A Study in Machine Learning from Imbalanced Data for Sentence Boundary Detection in Speech
We have constructed a hidden Markov model (HMM) system to detect sentence boundaries that uses both prosodic and textual information. Since there are more non-sentence boundaries than sentence boundaries in…

Posture-based data protection
We introduce Posture-Based Data Protection (PBDP), which encrypts data using keys available to a device only when it has been verified to be in a known good state, and has…

Improved Speech Activity Detection Using Cross-Channel Features for Recognition of Multiparty Meetings
We describe the development of a speech activity detection system using an HMM-based segmenter for automatic speech recognition on individual headset microphones in multispeaker meetings. We look at cross-channel features…
