In the last decade, i-vector and Joint Factor Analysis (JFA) approaches to speaker modeling have become ubiquitous in the area of automatic speaker recognition. Both of these techniques involve the computation of posterior probabilities, using either Gauss ...
Little is known about the perception of artificial spatial hearing by hearing-impaired subjects. The purpose of this study was to investigate how listeners with hearing disorders perceived the effect of a spatialization feature designed for wireless microp ...
People that cannot communicate due to neurological disorders would benefit from an internal speech decoder. Here, we showed the ability to classify individual words during imagined speech from electrocorticographic signals. In a word imagery task, we used ...
Phonological studies suggest that the typical subword units such as phones or phonemes used in automatic speech recognition systems can be decomposed into a set of features based on the articulators used to produce the sound. Most of the current approaches ...
Certain brain disorders, resulting from brainstem infarcts, traumatic brain injury, stroke and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, limit verbal communication despite the patient being fully aware. People that cannot communicate due to neurological disorders wou ...
Model-based approaches to Speaker Verification (SV), such as Joint Factor Analysis (JFA), i-vector and relevance Maximum-a-Posteriori (MAP), have shown to provide state-of-the-art performance for text-dependent systems with fixed phrases. The performance o ...
Progressive apraxia of Speech (PAoS) is a progressive motor speech disorder associated with neurodegenerative disease causing impairment of phonetic encoding and motor speech planning. Clinical observation and acoustic studies show that duration analysis p ...
This paper provides an overview of the Speaker Anti-spoofing Competition organized by Biometric group at Idiap Research Institute for the IEEE International Conference on Biometrics: Theory, Applications, and Systems (BTAS 2016). The competition used AVspo ...
Since the prosody of a spoken utterance carries information about its discourse function, salience, and speaker attitude, prosody mod- els and prosody generation modules have played a crucial part in text-to- speech (TTS) synthesis systems from the beginni ...
