This work investigates the use of missing data techniques for noise robust speaker identification. Most previous work in this field relies on the diagonal covariance assumption ...
We investigate several measures of voice quality (VQ) to improve tone recognition in Mandarin Chinese. We find that band energy measures such as Spectral Balance (Sluijter and va...
CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) systems using ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) for second language learning have received increasing interest recently. However, it st...
This paper focuses on confidence scores for use in acoustic model adaptation. Frame-based confidence estimates are used in linear transform (CMLLR and MLLR) and MAP adaptation. ...
This paper addresses the problem of Voice Active Detection (VAD) in noisy environments. We introduce Variational Bayes approach to EM for classification to replace the heuristic ...
Software Defined Radios (SDRs) offer a programmable and dynamically reconfigurable method of reusing hardware to implement the physical layer processing of multiple communications...

In this paper, we develop a dual-microphone speech dereverberation algorithm for noisy environments, which is aimed at suppressing late reverberation and background noise. The spe...

Newborns must learn to structure incoming acoustic information into segments, words, phrases, etc., before they can start to learn language. This process is thought to rely on mod...
