We investigate various ways of generating prosodic syllable contour features that have recently been applied to enhance systems for speaker recognition. We compare different appro...
The following article presents a novel, adaptive initialization scheme that can be applied to most state-of-the-art Speaker Diarization algorithms, i.e. algorithms that use agglom...
Floor control is a scheme used by people to organize speaking turns in multi-party conversations. Identifying the floor control shifts is important for understanding a conversati...
Abstract--This paper is concerned with the automatic recognition of dialogue acts (DAs) in multiparty conversational speech. We present a joint generative model for DA recognition ...
Abstract. The prosodic specification of an utterance to be spoken by a Textto-Speech synthesis system can be devised in break indices, pitch accents and boundary tones. In particu...
