A novel a priori SNR estimation approach based on selective cepstro-temporal smoothing
While state-of-the-art approaches obtain an estimate of the a priori SNR by adaptively smoothing its maximum likelihood estimate in the frequency domain, we selectively smooth the...

Punctuating speech for information extraction
This paper studies the effect of automatic sentence boundary detection and comma prediction on entity and relation extraction in speech. We show that punctuating the machine gener...

Brute-forcing hierarchical functionals for paralinguistics: A waste of feature space?
While the ”‘quasi-state-of-the-art”’ towards acoustic emotion recognition relies on multivariate time-series analysis of e.g. pitch, energy, or MFCC by statistical functio...

Cepstral domain feature compensation based on diagonal approximation
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to feature compensation performed in the cepstral domain. We apply the linear approximation method in the cepstral domain to simplify th...

Using dialogue acts to learn better repair strategies for spoken dialogue systems
Repair or error-recovery strategies are an important design issue in Spoken Dialogue Systems (SDSs) - how to conduct the dialogue when there is no progress (e.g. due to repeated A...

Multisensor multiband cross-energy tracking for feature extraction and recognition
In this paper, we present a multisensor multiband energy tracking scheme for robust feature extraction in noisy environments. We introduce a multisensor feature extraction algorit...

Automatic classification of question turns in spontaneous speech using lexical and prosodic evidence
The ability to identify speech acts reliably is desirable in any spoken language system that interacts with humans. Minimally, such a system should be capable of distinguishing be...

An instantaneous vector representation of delta pitch for speaker-change prediction in conversational dialogue systems
As spoken dialogue systems become deployed in increasingly complex domains, they face rising demands on the naturalness of interaction. We focus on system responsiveness, aiming t...

Name-aware speech recognition for interactive question answering
In this work we show how interactivity in a voice-enabled question answering application may improve speech recognition. We allow the user to provide a target named entity before ...
