Joint encoding of the waveform and speech recognition features using a transform codec
We propose a new transform speech codec that jointly encodes a wideband waveform and its corresponding wideband and narrowband speech recognition features. For distributed speech ...

Detection of time-pressure induced stress in speech via acoustic indicators
We use automatically extracted acoustic features to detect speech which is generated under stress, achieving 76.24% accuracy with a binary logistic regression. Our data are task-o...

Robust word boundary detection in spontaneous speech using acoustic and lexical cues
We consider the problem of word boundary detection in spontaneous speech utterances. Acoustic features have been well explored in the literature in the context of word boundary de...

Feature selection for content-based, time-varying musical emotion regression
In developing automated systems to recognize the emotional content of music, we are faced with a problem spanning two disparate domains: the space of human emotions and the acoust...

A Study of Acoustic Correlates of Speaker Age
Speaker age is a speaker characteristic which is always present in speech. Previous studies have found numerous acoustic features which correlate with speaker age. However, few att...
