Previous approaches to detecting and correcting speech repairs have for the most part separated these two problems. In this paper, we present a statistical model of speech repairs that uses information about the possible correction to help decide whether a speech repair actually occurred. By better modeling the interactions between detection and correction, we are able to improve our detection ...

Most dialog systems ignore the problem of speech repairs and editing terms um uh etc or use preprocessing techniques to eliminate them from the input These systems also typically enforce a strict turn taking protocol that does not allow speakers to interrupt each other This paper de scribes a parser that can process input containing editing terms speech repairs and second speaker interruptions ...

Background Coarctation is a common cardiovascular lesion accounting for 5 7% of all congenital heart disease. Without appropriate treatment complications are common and up to 90% of patients with uncorrected coarctation die by the age of 60. After repair close follow-up of patients is recommended. Recognised complications may include residual or recurrent coarctation and aneurysm formation. Fol...

Knowledge-based recommenders support users in the identification of interesting items from large and potentially complex assortments. In cases where no recommendation could be found for a given set of requirements, such systems propose explanations that indicate minimal sets of faulty requirements. Unfortunately, such explanations are not personalized and do not include repair proposals which t...

Previous approaches to detecting and correcting speech repairs have for the most part separated these two problems. In this paper, we present a statistical model of speech repairs that uses information about the postulated repair structure (correction) to help decide whether a speech repair actually occurred. By better modeling the interactions between detection and correction , we are able to ...

BACKGROUND Medicare insures the largest population of patients at risk for rotator cuff tears in the United States. PURPOSE To evaluate the trends in incidence, concomitant procedures, and complications with open and arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs in Medicare patients. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS All Medicare patients who had undergone open or arthroscopic ...

BACKGROUND Meniscal repair is commonly performed concurrently with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in the acutely injured knee. No large-scale, prospective multicenter studies have evaluated the long-term success and patient-oriented outcomes after combined ACLR and meniscal repair. PURPOSE To define the operative success and patient-oriented outcome scores 6 years after comb...
