Fast noise tracking based on recursive smoothing of MMSE noise power estimates
We consider estimation of the noise spectral variance from speech signals contaminated by highly nonstationary noise sources. In each time frame, for each frequency bin, the noise...

Utilizing glottal source pulse library for generating improved excitation signal for HMM-based speech synthesis
This paper describes a source modeling method for hidden Markov model (HMM) based speech synthesis for improved naturalness. A speech corpus is rst decomposed into the glottal sou...

Automatic Speaker Segmentation using Multiple Features and Distance Measures: A Comparison of Three Approaches
This paper addresses the problem of unsupervised speaker change detection. Three systems based on the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) are tested. The first system investigat...
