Recently, a flexible image database retrieval system where iniage keywords call be captured automatically is strongly ~equired, to manage a practical Iium1)er of image data sl~ccessfully. But image recognit io~i /~~nderstar i t l i~ig technology level is not generally inefficient enough to achieve this requirement. I11 order to overcome this problem, we propose a new i~iiag(, data1)ase framewor...

Recognition of the isolated keywords from spoken search queries may be considered as the first step towards the development of a speech-operated keyword-based searching technique. A database of 300 spoken search queries from Assamese language, a major Indian language mostly spoken by the...

For robust speech translation, we propose a new language translation method in which speech recognition results are mapped to example sentences using keywords. In this method, the keyword clustering is used to cope with recognition errors and the wide variety of words that do not appear in the training corpus. Initial classes defined using only thesaurus are redefined by using the dependency be...
