This paper introduces scale transforms to measure rhythmic similarity between two musical pieces. The rhythm of a piece of music is described by the scale transform magnitude, com...
In this paper, we address the problem of face tracking across illumination changes and occlusions. The method is based on leveraging the strengths of both Adaboost to deal with cl...
In most real-world situations, a single microphone is insufficient for the characterization of an entire auditory scene. This often occurs in places such as office environments ...

We describe a new GMM-UBM speaker recognition system that uses standard cepstral features, but selects different frames of speech for different subsystems. Subsystems, or “const...
Whereas lecturing is the most widely used mode of instruction, we have explored small-group learning projects to make signal processing more appealing at the University and in Eng...
This paper addresses selecting between candidate pronunciations for out-of-vocabulary words in speech processing tasks. We introduce a simple, unsupervised method that outperforms...
