Doppler-variant modeling of the vocal tract
A common technique to deploy linear prediction to nonstationary signals is time segmentation and local analysis. In [1], the temporal changes of linear prediction coefficients (L...

An improved SNR estimator for speech enhancement
In this paper, we propose an MMSE a priori SNR estimator for speech enhancement. This estimator has similar benefits to the well-known decision-directed approach, but does not req...

Polyphase speech recognition
We propose a model for speech recognition that consists of multiple semi-synchronized recognizers operating on a polyphase decomposition of standard speech features. Specifically...

Speech enhancement using a pitch predictive model
In this paper we present two new methods for speech enhancement based on the previously publised ne pitch model (FPM) for voiced speech. The rst method (FPM-NE) uses the FPM to pr...

Overlapped speech detection for improved speaker diarization in multiparty meetings
State-of-the-art speaker diarization systems for meetings are now at a point where overlapped speech contributes significantly to the errors made by the system. However, little i...

LSF mapping for voice conversion with very small training sets
To make voice conversion usable in practical applications, the number of training sentences should be minimized. With traditional Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based techniques sma...
