Originally, ideal binary mask (idbm) techniques have been used as a tool for studying aspects of the auditory system. More recently, idbm techniques have been adapted to the pract...
A new estimator, optimal in the frequency domain with respect to the masking properties of the human auditory system, is proposed. This new filtering technique prevents the emerg...
In this paper we investigate the role of user emotions in human-machine goal-oriented conversations. There has been a growing interest in predicting emotions from acted and non-act...
In this paper we propose a new technique for robust keyword spotting that uses bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BLSTM) recurrent neural nets to incorporate contextual informa...
We describe a system for the training of Second Language Acquisition Pronunciation (SLAP) for nonnative speakers. This speech recognition-based system is designed to mimic the val...
