An important application for microphone arrays is to extract highquality output from a single wideband source in multi-source and adverse environments. Methods based on blind-sour...
- Real-time speaker verification, with speech acquired using the NIST Mk-III microphone array and an autodirective beamforming algorithm, is demonstrated. The software and hardware...

In this paper, we present a speaker identification algorithm for a microphone array based on a first-order joint Hidden Markov Model (HMM) where the observations correspond to t...
In this paper, we present a microphone array beamforming approach to blind speech separation. Unlike previous beamforming approaches, our system does not require a-priori knowledge...
We propose a multimodal speaker segmentation algorithm with two main contributions: First, we suggest a hidden Markov model architecture that performs fusion of the three modaliti...
