Abstract Articulatory-feature-based confidence measures (2008)
Confidence measures are computed to estimate the certainty that target acoustic units are spoken in specific speech segments. They are applied in tasks such as keyword verification or utterance...

Articulatory feature-based conditional pronunciation modeling (AFCPM) aims to capture the pronunciation characteristics of speakers by modeling the linkage between the states of articulation during...
INTEGRATING A CONTEXT-DEPENDENT PHRASE GRAMMAR IN THE VARIABLE N-GRAM FRAMEWORK (2007)
This paper focuses on the learning of multi-word lexical units, or phrases, and how to model them within the variable n-gram framework. We introduce the notion of contextdependent phrases and suggest...
A Robust Viterbi Algorithm Against Impulsive Noise with Application to Speech Recognition (2005)
Manhung Siu, Senior Member, Arthur Chan
The Viterbi algorithm has been successfully applied to different pattern recognition and communi-cation tasks. However, if some observations are corrupted by unknown impulsives noise which are not...

This paper proposes a speaker verification system based on articulatory feature-based conditional pronunciation modeling (AFCPM). The system captures the pronunciation characteristics of speakers by...
PLASER: Pronunciation Learning via Automatic Speech Recognition (2003)
Brian Mak, Manhung Siu, Mimi Ng, Yik-cheung Tam, Yu-chung Chan, Kin-wah Chan, ...
PLASER is a multimedia tool with instant feedback designed to teach English pronunciation for high-school students of Hong Kong whose mother tongue is Cantonese Chinese. The objective is to teach...
Pruning of state-tying tree using bayesian information criterion (2000)
Yu-chung Chan, Manhung Siu, Brian Mak
The use of context-dependent phonetic units together with Gaussian mixture models allows modern-day speech recognizer to build very complex and accurate acoustic models. However, because of data...
Spyros Matsoukas, Long Nguyen, Jason Davenport, Jay Billa, Fred Richardson, Manhung Siu, ...
In this paper, we describe the BBN BYBLOS system used for the 1998 Hub-4E primary and Hub-4Sp evaluation benchmarks, and discuss the improvements made to the system in 1998. We focus on the...
