The k-best paths in Hidden Markov Models. Algorithms and Applications to Transmembrane Protein Topology Recognition.
(University of Waterloo, 2009-08-26)Traditional algorithms for hidden Markov model decoding seek to maximize either the probability of a state path or the number of positions of a sequence assigned to the correct state. These algorithms provide only a ... -
A Study of the Automatic Speech Recognition Process and Speaker Adaptation
(University of Waterloo, 2000)This thesis considers the entire automated speech recognition process and presents a standardised approach to LVCSR experimentation with HMMs. It also discusses various approaches to speaker adaptation such as MLLR and ... -
Vision-Based Observation Models for Lower Limb 3D Tracking with a Moving Platform
(University of Waterloo, 2011-08-23)Tracking and understanding human gait is an important step towards improving elderly mobility and safety. This thesis presents a vision-based tracking system that estimates the 3D pose of a wheeled walker user's lower ...
