Voice source cepstrum coefficients for speaker identification
We propose a novel feature set for speaker recognition that is based on the voice source signal. The feature extraction process uses closed-phase LPC analysis to estimate the voca...

Average case analysis of sparse recovery with thresholding : New bounds based on average dictionary coherence
This paper analyzes the performance of the simple thresholding algorithm for sparse signal representations. In particular, in order to be more realistic we introduce a new probabi...

Variance reduction with neighborhood smoothing for local intrinsic dimension estimation
Local intrinsic dimension estimation has been shown to be useful for many tasks such as image segmentation, anomaly detection, and de-biasing global dimension estimates. Of partic...

Fast speaker adaptation using non-negative matrix factorization
This paper describes a new method for fast speaker adaptation in large vocabulary recognition systems. As in most HMM-based recognizers, the observation densities are modeled as a...

A novel a priori SNR estimation approach based on selective cepstro-temporal smoothing
While state-of-the-art approaches obtain an estimate of the a priori SNR by adaptively smoothing its maximum likelihood estimate in the frequency domain, we selectively smooth the...

Brute-forcing hierarchical functionals for paralinguistics: A waste of feature space?
While the ”‘quasi-state-of-the-art”’ towards acoustic emotion recognition relies on multivariate time-series analysis of e.g. pitch, energy, or MFCC by statistical functio...

Cepstral domain feature compensation based on diagonal approximation
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to feature compensation performed in the cepstral domain. We apply the linear approximation method in the cepstral domain to simplify th...
