We describe a kernel wrapper, a Mercer kernel for the task of phoneme sequence recognition which is based on operations with the Gaussian kernel, and suitable for any sequence kernel classifier. We start by presenting a kernel-based algorithm for phoneme s ...
We investigate the detection of spoken terms in conversational speech using phoneme recognition with the objective of achieving smaller index size as well as faster search speed. Speech is processed and indexed as a sequence of one best phoneme sequence. W ...
This research takes place in the general context of improving the performance of the Distant Speech Recognition (DSR) systems, tackling the reverberation and recognition of overlap speech. Perceptual modeling indicates that sparse representation exists in ...
This paper investigates the combination of cepstral normalization and cochlear implant-like speech processing for microphone array- based speech recognition. Testing speech signals are recorded by a circular microphone array and are subsequently processed ...

Current HMM-based low bit rate speech coding systems work with phonetic vocoders. Pitch contour coding (on frame or phoneme level) is usually fairly orthogonal to other speech coding parameters. We make an assumption in our work that the speech signal cont ...
Speaker diarization of meetings can be significantly improved by overlap handling. Several previous works have explored the use of different features such as spectral, spatial and energy for overlap detection. This paper proposes a method to estimate proba ...
This chapter introduces a discriminative method for detecting and spotting keywords in spoken utterances. Given a word represented as a sequence of phonemes and a spoken utterance, the keyword spotter predicts the best time span of the phoneme sequence in ...
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 ...
