Cross-lingual Automatic Speech Recognition Exploiting Articulatory Features

Petr Motlicek

Articulatory features (AFs) provide language-independent attribute by exploiting the speech production knowl-edge. This paper proposes a cross-lingual automatic speechrecognition (ASR) based on AF methods. Various neural network(NN) architectures are explo ...

Negentropic linguistic evolution: A comparison of seven languages

Frédéric Kaplan, Vincent Christian Buntinx

The relationship between the entropy of language and its complexity has been the subject of much speculation – some seeing the increase of linguistic entropy as a sign of linguistic complexification or interpreting entropy drop as a marker of greater regul ...

Studying Linguistic Changes over 200 Years of Newspapers through Resilient Words Analysis

Frédéric Kaplan, Vincent Christian Buntinx, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet

This paper presents a methodology to analyze linguistic changes in a given textual corpus allowing to overcome two common problems related to corpus linguistics studies. One of these issues is the monotonic increase of the corpus size with time, and the ot ...

A Quickest Detection Problem With An Observation Cost

Robert Dalang

In the classical quickest detection problem, one must detect as quickly as possible when a Brownian motion without drift "changes" into a Brownian motion with positive drift. The change occurs at an unknown "disorder" time with exponential distribution. Th ...
