New PhD thesis on speech recognition

[Ken Schutte <kschutte@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've recently finished a PhD thesis some people here might be interested in,

"Parts-based models and local features for automatic speech recognition"

I have some information with a summary and some figures here:

Direct link to pdf:
http://groups.csail.mit.edu/sls/publications/2009/Thesis_Schutte.pdf

It's unpublished work at this point, so I thought I'd advertise a bit 
here.  I'd be happy to take any questions or comments by email.
