Novel Methods For Detection And Analysis Of Atypical Aspects In Speech

Atypical aspects in speech concern speech that deviates from what is commonly considered normal or healthy. In this thesis, we propose novel methods for detection and analysis of these aspects, e.g. to monitor the temporary state of a speaker, diseases tha ...

Unsupervised Voice Activity Detection by Modeling Source and System Information using Zero Frequency Filtering

Mathew Magimai Doss, Eklavya Sarkar

Voice activity detection (VAD) is an important pre-processing step for speech technology applications. The task consists of deriving segment boundaries of audio signals which contain voicing information. In recent years, it has been shown that voice source ...

Utterance Verification-Based Dysarthric Speech Intelligibility Assessment Using Phonetic Posterior Features

Mathew Magimai Doss, Julian David Fritsch

In the literature, the task of dysarthric speech intelligibility assessment has been approached through development of different low-level feature representations, subspace modeling, phone confidence estimation or measurement of automatic speech recognitio ...

Automatic Dysarthric Speech Detection Exploiting Pairwise Distance-Based Convolutional Neural Networks

Hervé Bourlard, Ina Kodrasi, Parvaneh Janbakhshi

Automatic dysarthric speech detection can provide reliable and cost-effective computer-aided tools to assist the clinical diagnosis and management of dysarthria. In this paper we propose a novel automatic dysarthric speech detection approach based on analy ...

A guideline for linking brain wave findings to the various aspects of discrete perception

Michael Herzog, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey, Lukas Vogelsang

Brain waves, determined by electrical and magnetic brain recordings (e.g., EEG and MEG), and fluctuating behavioral responses, determined by response time or accuracy measures, are frequently taken to support discrete perception. For example, it has been p ...

Probabilistic Symbol Sequence Matching and its Application to Pathological Speech Intelligibility Assessment

Julian David Fritsch

Matching of a test signal to a reference word hypothesis forms the core of many speech processing problems, including objective speech intelligibility assessment. This paper first shows that the comparison of two speech signals can be formulated as matchin ...

Automatic Pathological Speech Intelligibility Assessment Exploiting Subspace-Based Analyses

Hervé Bourlard, Ina Kodrasi, Parvaneh Janbakhshi

Competitive state-of-the-art automatic pathological speech intelligibility measures typically rely on regression training on a large number of features, require a large amount of healthy speech training data, or are applicable only to phonetically balanced ...

Tampered Speaker Inconsistency Detection with Phonetically Aware Audio-visual Features

Sébastien Marcel

The recent increase in social media based propaganda, i.e., ‘fake news’, calls for automated methods to detect tampered content. In this paper, we focus on detecting tampering in a video with a person speaking to a camera. This form of manipulation is easy ...

Phonetic aware techniques for Speaker Verification

Subhadeep Dey

The goal of this thesis is to improve current state-of-the-art techniques in speaker verification (SV), typically based on âidentity-vectorsâ (i-vectors) and deep neural network (DNN), by exploiting diverse (phonetic) information extracted using variou ...
