Subword modeling for zero-resource languages aims to learn low-level representations of speech audio without using transcriptions or other resources from the target language (such as text corpora or pronunciation dictionaries). A good representation should ...
Speech-to-speech translation is a framework which recognises speech in an input language, translates it to a target language and synthesises speech in this target language. In such a system, variations in the speech signal which are inherent to natural hum ...
Advancements in imaging technology made commercially available cameras cheaper, easily accessible with higher resolution than ever and with complex image capturing features. Today, it is estimated that more than one billion cameras sold every year. However ...
Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) has demonstrated its capabilities as a prominent technique for the direct acquisition of high density and accurate topographic information. To achieve the potential accuracy of such systems, a rigorous system calibration ...
Implementing machine learning algorithms for large data, such as the Web graph and social networks, is challenging. Even though much research has focused on making sequential algorithms more scalable, their running times continue to be prohibitively long. ...
Scala is a new programming language bringing together object-oriented and functional programming. Its defining features are uniformity and extensibility. Scala offers great flexibility for programmers, allowing them to grow the language through libraries. ...
