Prosody-Based Automatic Segmentation of Speech into Sentences and Topics
Using decision tree and hidden Markov modeling techniques, we combine prosodic cues with word-based approaches, and evaluate performance on two speech corpora, Broadcast News and Switchboard. Results show that the prosodic model alone performs on par with, or better than, word-based statistical language models–for both true and automatically recognized words in news speech.

A Framework for Describing Variations in State Early Intervention Systems
As part of the National Early Intervention Longitudinal Study, information about the early intervention service systems in the 20 participating states was gathered. This article organizes this information into dimensions of a framework for describing early intervention systems at the state and local levels.
