The tone recognition performance is improved using HCRFs by taking advantage of intra-syllable dynamic, inter-syllable dynamic and duration features. When the tone model is integrated into continuous speech recognition, the discriminative model weight training (DMWT) is proposed. Acoustic and tone scores are scaled by model weights discriminatively trained by the minimum phone error (MPE) criterion. Two schemes of weight training are evaluated and a smoothing technique is used to make training robust to overtraining problem. Experiments show that the accuracies of tone recognition and large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) can be improved by the HCRFs based tone model. Compared with the global weight scheme, continuous speech recognition can be improved by the discriminative trained weight combinations.展开更多

First a PLSA model with asymmetric modalities is constructed to predict a candidate set of annotations with confidence scores, and then model semantic relationship among the candidate annotations by leveraging conditional ran- dom field. In CRF, the confidence scores generated lay the PLSA model and the Fliekr distance be- tween pairwise candidate annotations are considered as local evidences and contextual potentials re- spectively. The novelty of our method mainly lies in two aspects : exploiting PLSA to predict a candi- date set of annotations with confidence scores as well as CRF to further explore the semantic context among candidate annotations for precise image annotation. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the method proposed in this paper, an experiment is conducted on the standard Corel dataset and its re- sults are 'compared favorably with several state-of-the-art approaches.展开更多

The full convolutional network structure is optimized with the ResNet-18 structure and dilated convolution to expand the receptive field. The tracking networks are also improved based on SiameseFC by considering the frame relations in consecutive-frame traffic scene maps. Moreover, the segmentation results of the greyscale input data sets are more stable and effective than using the RGB images for deep neural network feature extraction. The experimental results show that the proposed method takes advantage of the image features directly and achieves good real-time performance and high segmentation accuracy.展开更多

In this letter, a named entity recognition system based on CRFs (Conditional Random Fields) for biomedical texts is presented. The system makes extensive use of a diverse set of features, including local features, full text features and external resource features. All features incorporated in this system are described in detail, and the impacts of different feature sets on the performance of the system are evaluated. In order to improve the performance of system, post-processing modules are exploited to deal with the abbreviation phenomena, cascaded named entity and boundary errors identification. Evaluation on this system proved that the feature selection has important impact on the system performance, and the post-processing explored has an important contribution on system performance to achieve better resuits.展开更多

Controlling robots with spoken natural language has become expectable. With the reliability problem of this kind of control in mind a confirmation process of natural language instruction should be included before carried out by the robot autonomously and the prototype dialog system was designed thus the standardization problem was raised for the natural and understandable language interaction. In the application background of remotely navigating a mobile robot inside a building with Chinese natural spoken language considering that as an important navigation element in instructions a place name can be expressed with different lexical terms in spoken language this paper proposes a model for substituting different alternatives of a place name with a standard one (called standardization). First a CRF (Conditional Random Fields) model is trained to label the term required be standardized then a trained word embedding model is to represent lexical terms as digital vectors. In the vector space similarity of lexical terms is defined and used to find out the most similar one to the term picked out to be standardized. Experiments show that the method proposed works well and the dialog system responses to confirm the instructions are natural and understandable.展开更多
