Perceptually weighted distortion measures and the tandem connection of speech codecs
Tandem connections of voice codecs can occur today in mobileto-mobile calls and for certain VoIP connections. While postfiltering in tandem encodings is well-understood, the effe...

Identification of linear systems with adaptive control of the cross-multiplicative transfer function approximation
In this paper, we extend the cross-multiplicative transfer function (CMTF) approach for improved system identification in the shorttime Fourier transform (STFT) domain. The propo...

Composite hypothesis testing by optimally distinguishable distributions
Relying on optimally distinguishable distributions (ODD), it was defined very recently a new framework for the composite hypothesis testing. We resort to the linear model to inve...

Recognition for synthesis: Automatic parameter selection for resynthesis of emotional speech from neutral speech
One of the biggest challenges in emotional speech resynthesis is the selection of modification parameters that will make humans perceive a targeted emotion. The best selection me...
