We propose a new optimization algorithm called Generalized Baum Welch (GBW) algorithm for discriminative training on hidden Markov model (HMM). GBW is based on Lagrange relaxation...
Accurate unsupervised learning of phonemes of a language directly from speech is demonstrated via an algorithm for joint unsupervised learning of the topology and parameters of a ...
Intelligibility predictors tell us a great deal about human speech perception, in particular which acoustic factors strongly effect human behavior, and which do not. A particular...

Neurophysiological studies in the primary auditory cortex have recently demonstrated a rich diversity of responses that provide an explicit multidimensional representation of phon...
In this paper the transcription and evaluation of the corpus DIMEx100 for Mexican Spanish is presented. First we describe the corpus and explain the linguistic and computational mo...
