The transformation of the voiced segments of a speech recording has many applications such as expressivity synthesis or voice conversion. This paper addresses the pitch transposit...
—Discriminative Training (DT) methods for acoustic modeling, such as MMI, MCE, and SVM, have been proved effective in speaker recognition. In this paper we propose a DT method fo...
In many practical parameter estimation problems, the appropriate criterion is periodic in the parameter space. This paper considers the mean square periodic error (MSPE) criterion...
This paper deals with the localization of multiple sources from two-channel mixtures recorded in a reverberant environment. We introduce new angular spectrum-based methods relying...
Compressive sensing and processing of radar waveforms enables high-resolution tracking while using low sampling rates and inexpensive processing. Compressive processing, however, ...
The paper addresses the convergence of a decentralized Robbins-Monro algorithm for networks of agents. This algorithm combines local stochastic approximation steps for finding th...
We consider the blind separation of sources with general (e.g., not necessarily stationary) temporal covariance structures. When the sources’ temporal covariance matrices are kn...
The focus of the 2010 NIST Speaker Recognition Evaluation (SRE) [1] was the low false alarm regime of the detection error trade-off (DET) curve. This paper presents several approa...
This paper proposes a noise canceller with adaptive delay compensation for a distant noise source. A delay element is introduced in the noise path to offset the delay caused by th...
In this paper, we propose time-based localization approaches for asynchronous wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where not only clock skews but also clock offsets are present at all...
