The recognition of mathematics notation by a computer is made di cult by the two dimensional nature of the parsing problem as well as by the richness and ambiguity of the notation Parsing mathematics typeset in TEX constitutes a simpli ed idealized D recognition problem allowing the recognition engine to concentrate more on semantic understanding Choosing TEX as an input form for mathematics is...

This article tackles the problem of transcribing English words using Thai phonological system. The problem exists in Thai, where modern writing often composes of English orthography, and transcribing using English phonology results unnatural. The proposed model is totally data-driven, starting by automatic grapheme-phoneme alignment, modeling transduction rules and predicting Thai syllabictones...

This paper describes the first version of “Transcriber”, a tool for segmenting, labeling and transcribing speech. It is developed under Unix in the Tcl/Tk script language with extensions in C, and is available as free software. The environment offers the basic functions necessary for segmenting, labeling and transcribing long duration signals. The signal editor and the text editor are integrate...

Usually, language models are built either from a closed corpus, or by using World Wide Web retrieved documents, which are considered as a closed corpus themselves. In this paper we propose several other ways, more adapted to the nature of the Web, of using this resource for language modeling. We first start by improving an approach consisting in estimating n-gram probabilities from Web search e...

Previous studies have revealed that nucleosomes impede elongation of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Recent observations suggest a role for ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers in modulating this process, but direct in vivo evidence for this is unknown. Here using fission yeast, we identify Fun30Fft3 as a chromatin remodeller, which localizes at transcribing regions to promote RNAPII transcription. ...

Covert audio recordings feature in the criminal justice system a variety of guises, either on their own or accompanied by video. If legally obtained, such can provide important forensic evidence. However, quality these potentially valuable evidential is often very poor and content indistinct, to extent that jury requires an accompanying transcript. At present, many international jurisdictions, ...
