Query-Driven Strategy for On-the-Fly Term Spotting in Spontaneous Speech
<p/> <p>Spoken utterance retrieval was largely studied in the last decades, with the purpose of indexing large audio databases or of detecting keywords in continuous speech streams. While the indexing of closed corpora can be performed via a batch process, on-line spotting systems have t...
