Single-Handed Eyes-Free Universal Input Device

Adrian Dan Tarniceriu

For most people, interacting with a mobile device requires visual commitment to the input mechanism. As a consequence, there are many situations in our daily life when we have to refrain from using these devices, as our vision is already committed: for ins ...

Statistical models for HMM/ANN hybrids

Philip Neil Garner, David Imseng

We present a theoretical investigation into the use of normalised artificial neural network (ANN) outputs in the context of hidden Markov models (HMMs). The work is motivated by the pursuit of a more theoretically rigorous understanding of the Kullback-Lie ...

Feature distribution modelling techniques for 3D face recognition

Sébastien Marcel

This paper shows that Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) can be effectively ap- plied to 3D face data. The examined HMM techniques are shown to be superior to a previously examined Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) technique. Experi- ments conducted on the Face Recogn ...

A novel statistical generative model dedicated to face recognition

Sébastien Marcel, Guillaume Heusch

In this paper, a novel statistical generative model to describe a face is presented, and is applied to the face authentication task. Classical generative models used so far in face recognition, such as Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) and Hidden Markov Model ...

Modeling of distortion caused by Markov-model burst packet losses in video transmission

Yi Zhang

This paper addresses the problem of distortion modeling for video transmission over burst-loss channels characterized by a finite state Markov chain. A Distortion Trellis model is pro- posed, enabling us to estimate at the frame level the expected mean-squ ...

Sliding Window Abstraction for Infinite Markov Chains

Maria-Emanuela-Canini Mateescu, Verena Wolf

We present ail on-the-fly abstraction technique for infinite-state continuous-time Markov chains. We consider Markov chains that are specified by a finite set of transition classes. Such models naturally represent biochemical reactions and therefore play a ...

How does a dictation machine recognize speech?

Hervé Bourlard

There is magic (or is it witchcraft?) in a speech recognizer that transcribes continuous radio speech into text with a word accuracy of even not more than 50%. The extreme difficulty of this task, tough, is usually not perceived by the general public. This ...

A Generic Mean Field Convergence Result for Systems of Interacting Objects

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jochen Mundinger

We consider a model for interacting objects, where the evolution of each object is given by a finite state Markov chain, whose transition matrix depends on the present and the past of the distribution of states of all objects. This is a general model of wi ...
