Publications

At the beginning of my career, I produced some (peer-reviewed) scientific publications, which mostly were a side-effect of me at the Philips speech recognition research team working on speech recognition and in particular on search and (called so in those early days) “large-vocuabulary continuous-speech recognition”. Citations in reverse order of appearance. Almost all citations refer to peer-reviewed scientific publications.
