TUKE at MediaEval 2015 QUESST

In this paper, we present our retrieving system for QUery by Example Search on Speech Task (QUESST), comprising the posteriorgram-based modeling approach along with the weighted fast sequential dynamic time warping algorithm (WFS-DTW). For this year, our main effort was directed toward developing language-dependent keyword matching system, utilizing all available information about spoken langua...

TUKE System for MediaEval 2014 QUESST

Two approaches to QbE (Query-by-Example) retrieving system, proposed by the Technical University of Košice (TUKE) for the query by example search on speech task (QUESST), are presented in this paper. Our main interest was focused on building such QbE system, which is able to retrieve all given queries with and without using any external speech resources. Therefore we developed posteriorgram-bas...
