Objective Intelligibility Assessment of Text-to-Speech Systems Through Utterance Verification

Hervé Bourlard, Ramya Rasipuram, Raphaël Marc Ullmann

Objective assessment of synthetic speech intelligibility can be a useful tool for the development of text-to-speech (TTS) systems, as it provides a reproducible and inexpensive alternative to subjective listening tests. In a recent work, it was shown that ...

Control of Interbank Contagion Under Partial Information

Léo Hamed Amini

We consider a stylized core-periphery financial network in which links lead to the creation of projects in the outside economy but make banks prone to contagion risk. The controller seeks to maximize, under budget constraints, the value of the financial sy ...

HMM-based Non-native Accent Assessment using Posterior Features

Milos Cernak, Ramya Rasipuram

Automatic non-native accent assessment has many potential benefits in language learning and speech technologies. The three fundamental challenges in automatic accent assessment are to characterize, model and assess individual variation in speech of the non ...

Duration models for activity recognition and prediction in buildings using Hidden Markov Models

Jean Hennebert, Nikolaos Zarkadis

Activity recognition and prediction in buildings can have multiple positive effects in buildings: improve elderly monitoring, detect intrusions, maximize energy savings and optimize occupant comfort. In this paper we apply human activity recognition by usi ...

Automatic social role recognition and its application in structuring multiparty interactions

Ashtosh Sapru

Automatic processing of multiparty interactions is a research domain with important applications in content browsing, summarization and information retrieval. In recent years, several works have been devoted to find regular patterns which speakers exhibit ...

Single-Handed Eyes-Free Universal Input Device

Adrian Dan Tarniceriu

For most people, interacting with a mobile device requires visual commitment to the input mechanism. As a consequence, there are many situations in our daily life when we have to refrain from using these devices, as our vision is already committed: for ins ...

Temporally Consistent Snow Cover Estimation from Noisy, Irregularly Sampled Measurements

Sabine Süsstrunk, Matthew Brown, Dominic Rüfenacht

We propose a method for accurate and temporally consistent surface classification in the presence of noisy, irregularly sampled measurements, and apply it to the estimation of snow coverage over time. The input imagery is extremely challenging, with large ...

Two-stage online inference model for traffic pattern analysis and anomaly detection

Kwang Moo Yi

In this paper, we propose a method for modeling trajectory patterns with both regional and velocity observations through the probabilistic topic model. By embedding Gaussian models into the discrete topic model framework, our method uses continuous velocit ...

Learning search polices from humans in a partially observable context

Aude Billard, Guillaume Pierre Luc De Chambrier

Decision making and planning for which the state information is only partially available is a problem faced by all forms of intelligent entities they being either virtual, synthetic or biological. The standard approach to mathematically solve such a decisi ...
