Various techniques may exist to synthesize data for speech dialog systems ... The n-gram models may utilize statistical algorithms to assign words to classes based on the frequency of their co-occurrence with other words. The word classes may be used in language modeling to provide a wide range of applications, such as speech recognition or grammar correction. 1, record 1, English, - language%20modeling

Language modelling is one approach that has been shown to help indexing accuracy in phonetic STD [spoken term detection] systems. Topic dependent LMs [language models] are also used to make use of topic information of the decoding documents in indexing stage. A set of topic dependent LMs were trained and used in addition to acoustic models to index the audio documents in the database. 2, record 1, English, - language%20modeling

We describe the theoretical basis and practical details of a method for creating parametric images of the ratio of regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF) to volume(rCBV) from planar gamma-camera images following intravenous injection of any intravascular tracer and after correction for dispersion of the bolus before it arrives at the head. This ratio, which is the most sensitive index of the extent to which perfusion is being maintained by vasodilatation in patients with cerebro-vascular disease, indicates whether the limits of compensation have been, or are in danger of being, exceeded and identifies any ischaemic penumbra. Evidence is provided of the validity of the correction and the accuracy of calculation of the ratio. The range of normal values established is not significantly different from that previously reported using positron emission tomography. This technique has proved sufficiently sensitive to be clinically useful in patients with abnormalities of cerebral perfusion. 1, record 8, English, - ischaemic%20penumbra
