The output segmentation has been shown to aid a diverse set of applications, such as automatic speech recognition (Afify et al., 2006), keyword spotting (Narasimhan et al., 2014), machine translation (Clifton and Sarkar, 2011) and parsing (Seeker and Ç etinoglu, 2015).
to much of this prior work, we focus on supervised segmentation, i.e., we provide the model with gold segmentations during training time.
