Neurophysiological studies in the primary auditory cortex have recently demonstrated a rich diversity of responses that provide an explicit multidimensional representation of phon...
When exposed to environmental noise, speakers adjust their speech production to maintain intelligible communication. This phenomenon, called Lombard effect (LE), is known to consi...
The use of speaker adaptation transforms as features for speaker recognition is an appealing alternative to conventional short-term cepstral features. In general, this kind of met...
The semantic annotation of documents is an additional advantage for retrieval, as long as the annotations and their maintenance process scale well. Automatic or semi-automatic ann...
Audio segmentation is an essential preprocessing step in several audio processing applications with a significant impact e.g. on speech recognition performance. We introduce a no...
