A logarithmic based pole-zero vocal tract model estimation for speaker verification
In this paper we investigate the use of formant and antiformant measurements of nasal consonants for speaker verification. The features are obtained using a pole-zero vocal tract...

Combined compressed sensing and parallel mri compared for uniform and random cartesian undersampling of K-space
Both compressed sensing (CS) and parallel imaging effectively reconstruct magnetic resonance images from undersampled data. Combining both methods enables imaging with greater und...

Geometric multichannel common signal separation with application to music and effects extraction from film soundtracks
We address the task of separation of music and effects from dialogs in film or television soundtracks. This is of interest for film studios wanting to release films in new, pre...

A novel fast canonical-signed-digit conversion technique for multiplication
Abstract—Fast multiplication can be achieved by using canonical signed digit (CSD) to speed-up computations. Conversion to CSD is needed when the multiplier is not known a priori...

Tracking changes in continuous emotion states using body language and prosodic cues
Human expressive interactions are characterized by an ongoing unfolding of verbal and nonverbal cues. Such cues convey the interlocutor’s emotional state which is continuous and...

Continuous F0 in the source-excitation generation for HMM-based TTS: Do we need voiced/unvoiced classification?
Most HMM-based TTS systems use a hard voiced/unvoiced classification to produce a discontinuous F0 signal which is used for the generation of the source-excitation. When a mixed ...
