In addition to cont...

The ESPRIT Project POLYGLOT

The ESPRIT project POLYGLOT aims at developing multi-lingual Speech-to-Text and Text-to-Speech conversion and to integrate this technology in a number of commercially viable prototype applications. Speech-to-Text conversion is mainly concerned with very large vocabulary isolated word recognition. It uses a statistical knowledge based approach that was pioneered for Italian and is now being exte...

Multiresolution ESPRIT algorithm

Multiresolution ESPRIT is an extension of the ESPRIT direction finding algorithm to antenna arrays with multiple baselines. A short (half wavelength) baseline is necessary to avoid aliasing, and a long baseline is preferred for accuracy. The MR-ESPRIT algorithm allows the combination of both estimates. The ratio of the longest baseline to the shortest one is a measure of the gain in accuracy. B...
