Telefonica Research System for the Spoken Web Search task at Mediaeval 2012

In this paper we describe the systems presented by Telefonica Research to the Spoken Web Search task of the Mediaeval 2012 evaluation. This year we proposed two systems. The rst one consists on a segmental DTW system, similar to the one presented in 2011, with a few improvements. The second system also uses a DTW-like approach but allowing for all reference les o be searched at once using an information retrieval approach.
