We describe a new GMM-UBM speaker recognition system that uses standard cepstral features, but selects different frames of speech for different subsystems. Subsystems, or “const...
We investigate several measures of voice quality (VQ) to improve tone recognition in Mandarin Chinese. We find that band energy measures such as Spectral Balance (Sluijter and va...
We present a study on purely data-based recognition of animal sounds, performing evaluation on a real-world database obtained from the Humboldt-University Animal Sound Archive. As...
Linear prediction of speech based on 1-norm minimization has already proved to be an interesting alternative to 2-norm minimization. In particular, choosing the 1-norm as a convex...
It is tedious to handwrite long passages of text by hand. To make this process more efficient, we propose predictive handwriting that provides input predictions when the user writ...
