We organized a workshop at SIGIR'01 to explore the area of information retrieval techniques for speech applications. Here we summarize the results of that workshop
Speech recognition is a computationally demanding task, particularly the stage which uses Viterbi decoding for converting pre-processed speech data into words or sub-word units. W...

An algorithm is proposed which automatically estimates the local signalto-noise ratio (SNR) between speech and noise. The feature extraction stage of the algorithm is motivated by...
The goal of the speech segments extraction process is to separate acoustic events of interest (the speech segment to be recognised) in a continuously recorded signal from other par...
