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 ...
There is growing interest in using graphemes as subword units, especially in the context of the rapid development of hidden Markov model (HMM) based automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, as it eliminates the need to build a phoneme pronunciation lexic ...
In this paper, 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 the ...
State-of-the-art phoneme sequence recognition systems are based on hybrid hidden Markov model/artificial neural networks (HMM/ANN) framework. In this framework, the local classifier, ANN, is typically trained using Viterbi expectation-maximization algorith ...
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 ...

Prosody plays an important role in both identification and synthesis of emotionalized speech. Prosodic features like pitch are usually estimated and altered at a segmental level based on short windows of speech (where the signal is expected to be quasi-sta ...
Automatic language identification (LID) systems generally exploit acoustic knowledge, possibly enriched by explicit language specific phonotactic or lexical constraints. This paper investigates a new LID approach based on hierarchical multilayer perceptron ...
