Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems lack joint optimization during decoding over the acoustic, lexical and language models; for instance the ASR will often prune words due to acoustics using short-term context, prior to rescoring with long-term context. In this work we model the automated speech transcription process as a noisy transformation channel and propose an error correction syste...

In recent years, automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems gradually decreased (and for some tasks closed) the gap between human and automatic speech recognition. However, it is unclear if similar performance implies humans and ASR systems to rely on similar signal cues. In the current study, ASR and HSR are compared using speech material from a matrix sentence test mixed with either a station...

There are no population-based data available on cancer pattern in Kashmir and our study is the first kind which represents the trend in cancer pattern in the valley. The source of our data were cancer patients registered in the Department of Radiation Oncology, Sheri-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, and Department of Radiation Oncology, SMHS, Srinagar during the period Jan 2002 ...

This chapter presents the state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, which is a very successful technology in the computer science field, related to multiple disciplines such as the signal processing and analysis, mathematical statistics, applied artificial intelligence and linguistics, and so forth. The unit of essential information used to characterize the speech signal i...

Cytoplasmic granules known to contain cationic arginine-rich proteins can be identified by the ammoniacal silver reaction (ASR) which provides a cytochemical marker detectable under the electron microscope. Only the large rod-shaped granules of the chicken polymorphonuclear leukocytes (heterophils) and the large spherical azurophilic granules of the rabbit neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocy...

e+e− annihilation data recorded by the JADE detector at PETRA were used to measure the C-parameter for the first time at √ s = 35 and 44 GeV. The distributions were compared to a resummed QCD calculation. In addition, we applied extended resummed calculations to the total and wide jet broadening variables, BT and BW . We combined the results on αs with those of our previous study of differentia...

e+e− annihilation data recorded by the JADE detector at PETRA were used to measure the C-parameter for the first time at √ s = 35 and 44 GeV. The distributions were compared to a resummed QCD calculation which recently became available for this observable. In addition, we applied extended resummed calculations to the heavy and wide jet broadening variables, BT and BW , which now include a prope...
