Study of Jacobian Normalization for VTLN

Philip Neil Garner, John David Scott Dines, Lakshmi Babu Saheer

The divergence of the theory and practice of vocal tract length normalization (VTLN) is addressed, with particular emphasis on the role of the Jacobian determinant. VTLN is placed in a Bayesian setting, which brings in the concept of a prior on the warping ...

Improved Phone Posterior Estimation Through k-NN and MLP-Based Similarity

Benjamin Picart

In this work, we investigate the possible use of k-nearest neighbour (kNN) classifiers to perform frame-based acoustic phonetic classification, hence replacing Gaussian Mixture Models (GMM) or MultiLayer Perceptrons (MLP) used in standard Hidden Markov Mod ...

VTLN Adaptation for Statistical Speech Synthesis

Philip Neil Garner, John David Scott Dines, Hui Liang, Lakshmi Babu Saheer

The advent of statistical speech synthesis has enabled the unification of the basic techniques used in speech synthesis and recognition. Adaptation techniques that have been successfully used in recognition systems can now be applied to synthesis systems t ...

Tight bounds on the AUH codes

Ali Kakhbod

In this paper we consider the class of anti-uniform Huffman codes and derive tight lower and upper hounds on the average length, entropy, and redundancy of such codes in terms of the alphabet size of the source. Also an upper bound on the entropy of AUH co ...

Modulation Frequency Features For Phoneme Recognition In Noisy Speech

Hynek Hermansky, Sriram Ganapathy, Samuel Thomas

In this letter, a new feature extraction technique based on modulation spectrum derived from syllable-length segments of sub-band temporal envelopes is proposed. These sub-band envelopes are derived from auto-regressive modelling of Hilbert envelopes of th ...

Enhanced Phone Posteriors for Improving Speech Recognition Systems

Hervé Bourlard, Hamed Ketabdar

Using phone posterior probabilities has been increasingly explored for improving automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. In this paper, we propose two approaches for hierarchically enhancing these phone posteriors, by integrating long acoustic context, ...

Enhancing posterior based speech recognition systems

Hamed Ketabdar

The use of local phoneme posterior probabilities has been increasingly explored for improving speech recognition systems. Hybrid hidden Markov model / artificial neural network (HMM/ANN) and Tandem are the most successful examples of such systems. In this ...

A mealy machine with polynomial growth of irrational degree

We consider a very simple Mealy machine ( two nontrivial states over a two-symbol alphabet), and derive some properties of the semigroup it generates. It is an infinite, finitely generated semigroup, and we show that the growth function of its balls behave ...
