Various methods have recently appeared to transform foreign-accented speech into its native-accented counterpart. Evaluation of these accent conversion methods requires extensive l...
Knowing the orientation of a talker in the focal area of a large-aperture microphone array enables the development of better beamforming algorithms (to obtain higher-quality speech...
In the presence of environmental noise, speakers tend to adjust their speech production in an effort to preserve intelligible communication. The noise-induced speech adjustments, c...
This paper presents a framework for efficient HMM-based estimation of unreliable spectrographic speech data. It discusses the role of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) during minimum mea...
This paper presents a novel probabilistic approach to speech enhancement. Instead of a deterministic logarithmic relationship, we assume a probabilistic relationship between the fr...
