Flow cytometry (FC) is a powerful technology for rapid multivariate analysis and functional discrimination of cells. Current FC platforms generate large, high-dimensional datasets...
Real world sounds often exhibit non-stationary spectral characteristics such as those produced by a harpsichord or a guitar. The classical Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) ...
The success of spoken dialog applications depends strongly on the quality of the semantic confidence measure that determines the selection of the dialog strategy. However, the sem...
In hands-free communications, speech received by a microphone is distorted by room reverberation that can reduce the intelligibility of speech. An approach to dereverberation is ...

In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing a non-smooth convex problem using first-order methods. The number of iterations required to guarantee a certain accuracy for ...
This paper proposes a new statistical model-based likelihood ratio test (LRT) VAD to obtain reliable speech / non-speech decisions. In the proposed method, the likelihood ratio (L...
Current state-of-the-art speech recognition systems work quite well in controlled environments but their performance degrades severely in realistic acoustical conditions in reverb...
Localization of simultaneous sound sources in natural environments with only two microphones is a challenging problem. Reverberation degrades performance of localization based exc...
In advanced heterogeneous telecommunication networks, network resources can dynamically dictate the type of speech coding that is used. An increase in resources allows for lower c...
