In previous work, we reported dramatic improvements in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and spoken language translation (SLT) gained by applying information extracted from spoke...
Measurement and evaluation of biometric device performance is critical to end users and consumers of these devices. In this paper we present explicit theoretical correlation model...
Voice conversion has become more and more important in speech technology, but most of current works have to use parallel utterances of both source and target speaker as the traini...
There has been little work that attempts to improve the recognition of spontaneous, conversational speech by adding information from a loosely-coupled modality. This study investi...
With the purpose of improving Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) performance, a combination of different acoustic speech recognition (ASR) systems is proposed. State a-posteriori...
The maximization of a full-rank quadratic form over a finite alphabet is NP-hard in both a worst-case sense and an average sense. Interestingly, if the rank of the form is not a ...
The restoration of melody perception is a key remaining challenge in cochlear implants. We propose a new sound coding strategy that converts an audio signal into time-varying elec...
This paper deals with the interaction between progressive model adaptation and score normalization strategies which are used for reducing the variation in likelihood ratio scores ...
One of the most popular algorithms for blind equalization is the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA), due to its simplicity and low computational cost. However, if the step-size is n...
