Musical noise often arises in the outputs of time-frequency binary mask based blind source separation approaches. Postprocessing is desired to enhance the separation quality. An e...
Time reversal is often used in experimental studies on language perception and understanding, but little is known on its precise impact on speech sounds. Strikingly, some studies ...
In this paper, we introduce a new approach to dialect recognition which relies on the hypothesis that certain phones are realized differently across dialects. Given a speaker'...
Aspects of speech and non-verbal behavior allow conversational partners to establish and maintain rapport by signaling engagement or endorsement. In the verbal channel, these fact...
In this paper we present a novel algorithm called Suppression of Slowly-varying components and the Falling edge of the power envelope (SSF) to enhance spectral features for robust...
This paper describes Brno University of Technology (BUT) system for the Interspeech 2010 Paralinguistic Challenge. Our submitted systems for the Age- and Gender-Sub-Challenges emp...
This study investigates voicing properties of Polish, French, American English and German sonorant consonants, particularly rhotics. The analysis was conducted on four speech data...
In this paper, we investigate using meeting-specific characteristics to improve extractive meeting summarization, in particular, speaker-related attributes (such as verboseness, g...
The performance of an HMM-based speech recognizer using MFCCs as input is known to degrade dramatically in noisy conditions. Recently, an exemplar-based noise robust ASR approach,...
