Prosody Modeling for Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding
This paper summarizes statistical modeling approaches for the use of prosody (the rhythm and melody of speech) in automatic recognition and understanding of speech.

Constrained optimization based control of real time large-scale systems: airjet object movement system
This paper demonstrates that hyper-redundant systems are capable of system self-identification, and that constrained optimization can effectively solve problems associated with control of many-element systems.

Multispeaker Speech Activity Detection for the ICSI Meeting Recorder
We have developed a more sophisticated approach for multichannel speech activity detection using a simple hidden Markov model (HMM).

Modeling Word Durations
We describe a new method of modeling duration at word level. These duration models are easily trained from the acoustic training data and can be used to rescore N-best lists…
