Leverage Points For Improving Educational Assessment (Padi Technical Report 2)
This presentation first reviews an evidence-centered framework for designing and analyzing assessments. It then uses this framework to discuss and to illustrate how advances in technology, education, and psychology can…

Spotting “Hot Spots” in Meetings: Human Judgments and Prosodic Cues
Recent interest in the automatic processing of meetings is motivated by a desire to summarize, browse, and retrieve important information from lengthy archives of spoken data. One of the most…

Modeling Duration Patterns for Speaker Recognition
We present a method for speaker recognition that uses the duration patterns of speech units to aid speaker classification. The approach represents each word and/or phone by a feature vector…

Automatic Disfluency Identification in Conversational Speech Using Multiple Knowledge Sources
This work investigates a number of knowledge sources for disfluency detection, including acoustic-prosodic features, a language model (LM) to account for repetition patterns, a part-of-speech (POS) based LM, and rule-based…

Development of Phrase Translation Systems for Handheld Computers: from Concept to Field
We describe the development and conceptual evolution of handheld spoken phrase translation systems, beginning with an initial undirectional system for translation of English phrases, and later extending to a limited…

Spatial Temporal and Histogram Video Registration for Digital Watermark Detection
In this paper, we propose a spatial, temporal and histogram (STH) registration algorithm for video sequences. This algorithm is developed based on a frame-level model of the misalignments often introduced…

Iterative Statistical Language Model Generation for Use with an Agent-Oriented Natural Language Interface
We describe a method for developing a statistical language model (SLM) with high keyword spotting accuracy for a natural language interface (NLI). The NLI is based on the Adaptive Agent…

Unlocking The Learning Value Of Wireless Mobile Devices
At the moment ‘wireless mobile technologies for education’ are incredibly diverse and incompatible; to achieve scale, a strong vision will be needed to lead to standardisation, overcoming the tendency to…

Nucleotide sequence based characterizations of two cryptic plasmids from the marine bacterium Ruegeria isolate PR1b
Given the nature of the putative proteins encoded by both plasmids it is possible that these plasmids enhance the metabolic and physiological flexibility of the host bacterium, and thus its…
