Landmark-Based and Prosody-Dependent Speech Recognition, Summer 2009
The landmark-based speech recognition group will meet during Summer 2009 on roughly alternate Thursdays, from 10:00-11:30 AM, in Beckman 2369.

- Sarah will present her work with auditory modeling.

- Chi will lead a discussion of three papers on finite state transducers to model pronunciation variation:
