The environment that surrounds us is very complex. Understanding and interpreting it is a very hard task. This paper proposes an approach allowing simple form recognition with a camera by using a probabilistic approach called Bayesian Programming. The main ...
Speaker recognition systems achieve acceptable performance in controlled laboratory conditions. However, in real-life environments, the performance of a speaker recognition system degrades drastically, the principal cause being the mismatch that exists bet ...
We propose a semiparametric model for regression problems involving multiple response variables. Conditional dependencies between the responses are represented through a linear mixture of Gaussian processes. We propose an efficient approximate inference sc ...
Models dealing directly with the raw acoustic speech signal are an alternative to conventional feature-based HMMs. A popular way to model the raw speech signal is by means of an autoregressive (AR) process. Being too simple to cope with the nonlinearity of ...
This paper discusses and optimizes an HMM/GMM based User-Customized Password Speaker Verification (UCP-SV) system. Unlike text-dependent speaker verification, in UCP-SV systems, customers can choose their own passwords with no lexical constraints. The pass ...
The present thesis is concerned with the development and evaluation (in terms of accuracy and utility) of systems using hand postures and hand gestures for enhanced Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In our case, these systems are based on vision techniques ...
Continuum percolation models in which pairs of points of a two-dimensional Poisson point process are connected if they are within some range to each other have been extensively studied. This paper considers a variation in which a connection between two poi ...
We propose a semiparametric model for regression and classification problems involving multiple response variables. The model makes use of a set of Gaussian processes to model the relationship to the inputs in a nonparametric fashion. Conditional dependenc ...
This paper presents a new algorithm for classifying distributions. The algorithm combines the principle of margin maximization and a kernel trick, applied to distributions. Thus, it combines the discriminative power of support vector machines and the well- ...
In this paper we present a method of parsing unstructured textual records briefly describing a person and their direct relatives. The string `Stephanus, brother of Johannes Magnin, from Saillon' is a typical example of a record. We wish to annotate every t ...
