This paper describes a method of compensating for nonlinear distortions in speech
representation caused by noise. The method described here is based on the histogram …

VILE (Estudio acústico de la variación inter e intralocutor en español) es un proyecto de
investigación básica, financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología (BFF2001-2551 …

In this paper, a public dataset for Offline Handwriting Recognition, along with an appropriate
evaluation method to provide benchmark indicators at sentence level, is presented. This …

Speech recognition systems have proved their usefulness in very different tasks.
Nevertheless, the present state-of-the-art of the speech technologies does not make it …

In formal language theory, finite-state transducers are well-know models for simple “input-
output” mappings between two languages. Even if more powerful, recursive models can be …

Current speech technology allows us to build efficient speech recognition systems.
However, model learning of knowledge sources in a speech recognition system is not a …

In many language processing tasks, most of the sentences generally convey rather simple
meanings. Moreover, these tasks have a limited semantic domain that can be properly …

In this work, long audio alignment systems for Spanish and English are presented in an
automatic subtitling scenario. Pre-recorded contents are automatically recognized at …

The Discriminative Feature Extraction (DFE) method provides an appropriate formalism for
the design of the front-end feature extraction module in pattern classification systems. In the …

Non-speech audio gives important information from the environment that can be used in
robot navigation altogether with other sensor information. In this article we propose a new …
