HNM-based MFCC+F0 extractor applied to statistical speech synthesis
Currently, the statistical framework based on Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) plays a relevant role in speech synthesis, while voice conversion systems based on Gaussian Mixture Model...

Glottal inverse filtering using stabilised weighted linear prediction
This paper presents and evaluates an inverse filtering technique of the speech signal which is based on the Stabilized Weighted Linear Prediction (SWLP) of speech [1]. SWLP empha...

Reproduction of independent narrowband soundfields in a multizone surround system and its extension to speech signal sources
While higher order ambisonic approaches can be used to generate multiple zone soundfields, this paper adopts a Least Squares matching approach which provides a more flexible formu...

Shape-invariant speech transformation with the phase vocoder
This paper proposes a new phase vocoder based method for shape invariant real-time modification of speech signals. The performance of the method with respect voiced and unvoiced s...

Speech enhancement using a mixture-maximum model
We present a spectral domain, speech enhancement algorithm. The new algorithm is based on a mixture model for the short time spectrum of the clean speech signal, and on a maximum a...

Two-Microphone Separation of Speech Mixtures
Separation of speech mixtures, often referred to as the cocktail party problem, has been studied for decades. In many source separation tasks, the separation method is limited by t...

Voice source estimation for artificial bandwidth extension of telephone speech
Artificial bandwidth extension (ABWE) of speech signals aims to estimate wideband speech (50 Hz – 7 kHz) from narrowband signals (300 Hz – 3.4 kHz). Applying the source-filt...

Synthesizing speech from Doppler signals
It has long been considered a desirable goal to be able to construct an intelligible speech signal merely by observing the talker in the act of speaking. Past methods at performin...

Linguistic Structure as Composition and Perturbation
This paper discusses the problem of learning language from unprocessed text and speech signals, concentrating on the problem of learning a lexicon. In particular, it argues for a ...
