Pitch transposition and breathiness modification using a glottal source model and its adapted vocal-tract filter
The transformation of the voiced segments of a speech recording has many applications such as expressivity synthesis or voice conversion. This paper addresses the pitch transposit...

Soft frame margin estimation of Gaussian Mixture Models for speaker recognition with sparse training data
—Discriminative Training (DT) methods for acoustic modeling, such as MMI, MCE, and SVM, have been proved effective in speaker recognition. In this paper we propose a DT method fo...

Periodic CRB for non-Bayesian parameter estimation
In many practical parameter estimation problems, the appropriate criterion is periodic in the parameter space. This paper considers the mean square periodic error (MSPE) criterion...

Empirical weighting for Blind Source Separation in a multiple-snapshots scenario
We consider the blind separation of sources with general (e.g., not necessarily stationary) temporal covariance structures. When the sources’ temporal covariance matrices are kn...

Towards reduced false-alarms using cohorts
The focus of the 2010 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE) [1] was the low false alarm regime of the detection error trade-off (DET) curve. This paper presents several approa...

An adaptive noise canceller with adaptive delay compensation for a distant noise source
This paper proposes a noise canceller with adaptive delay compensation for a distant noise source. A delay element is introduced in the noise path to offset the delay caused by th...

Time-based localization for asynchronous wireless sensor networks
In this paper, we propose time-based localization approaches for asynchronous wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where not only clock skews but also clock offsets are present at all...
