In this paper we investigate the use of formant and antiformant measurements of nasal consonants for speaker verification. The features are obtained using a pole-zero vocal tract...
Both compressed sensing (CS) and parallel imaging effectively reconstruct magnetic resonance images from undersampled data. Combining both methods enables imaging with greater und...

This paper presents a robust adaptive goodness-of-fit (GOF) χ2 test event detector for non-intrusive load monitoring applications. We derive a closed form for the decision thres...

We address the task of separation of music and effects from dialogs in film or television soundtracks. This is of interest for film studios wanting to release films in new, pre...
In this contribution we present a feature extraction method that relies on the modulation-spectral analysis of amplitude fluctuations within sub-bands of the acoustic spectrum by ...
Abstract— This work addresses the problem of joint quantization and power allocation in wireless sensor networks where sensors observe a source, quantize their observations and t...
Abstract—Fast multiplication can be achieved by using canonical signed digit (CSD) to speed-up computations. Conversion to CSD is needed when the multiplier is not known a priori...
Human expressive interactions are characterized by an ongoing unfolding of verbal and nonverbal cues. Such cues convey the interlocutor’s emotional state which is continuous and...
This paper proposes a technique for constructing independent parameter tying structures of mean and variance in HMMbased speech synthesis. Conventionally, mean and variance parame...
Most HMM-based TTS systems use a hard voiced/unvoiced classification to produce a discontinuous F0 signal which is used for the generation of the source-excitation. When a mixed ...
