Robust Techniques for Organizing and Retrieving Spoken Documents
<p/> <p>Information retrieval tasks such as document retrieval and topic detection and tracking (TDT) show little degradation when applied to speech recognizer output. We claim that the robustness of the process is because of inherent redundancy in the problem: not only are words repeate...
