    With the rapid advance of geospatial technologies, the availability of geospatial data from multiple sources has increased dramatically. Integration of multi-source geospatial data can provide insights and capabilities not ...
  • Ensemble acoustic modeling in automatic speech recognition 

    Chen, Xin, 1983- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
    In this dissertation, several new approaches of using data sampling to construct an Ensemble of Acoustic Models (EAM) for speech recognition are proposed. A straightforward method of data sampling is Cross Validation (CV) ...
  • Integrate template matching and statistical modeling for continuous speech recognition 

    Sun, Xie (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
    In this dissertation, a novel approach of integrating template matching with statistical modeling is proposed to improve continuous speech recognition. Commonly used Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are ineffective in modeling ...
