Phonological features extracted by neural network have shown interesting potential for low bit rate speech vocoding. The span of phonological features is wider than the span of phonetic features, and thus fewer frames need to be transmitted. Moreover, the ...

Speech vocoding for laboratory phonology

Milos Cernak

In this paper, we propose a platform based on phonological speech vocoding for examining relations between phonology and speech processing, and in broader terms, between the abstract and physical structures of speech signal. The goal of this paper is to go ...

ECMA-407: A New 3D audio codec implementation up to NHK 22.2

Marco Mattavelli, Claudio Paolo Alberti, Junaid Jameel Ahmad

ECMA-407, the first 3D audio standard worldwide, introduces a new concept of static models to lower bitrate coding, which may be equally applied with channels, channels and objects and Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA). Static models may either operate in time ...

Source/Filter Factorial Hidden Markov Model, with Application to Pitch and Formant Tracking

Jean-Philippe Thiran

Tracking vocal tract formant frequencies (

f_p

) and estimating the fundamental frequency (

f_0

) are two tracking problems that have been tackled in many speech processing works, often independently, with applications to articulatory parameters estimation ...

Convolutional Pitch Target Approximation Model for Speech Synthesis

Philip Neil Garner

In this paper, we investigate pitch contour modelling in speech synthesis based on segmental units. A convolutional pitch target approximation model is proposed. This model allows jointly stochastic modelling of framewise pitch and pitch contour of longer ...

Joint Source-Filter Optimization for Accurate Vocal Tract Estimation Using Differential Evolution

Jean-Marc Vesin, Olaf Schleusing

In this work, we present a joint source-filter optimization approach for separating voiced speech into vocal tract (VT) and voice source components. The presented method is pitch-synchronous and thereby exhibits a high robustness against vocal jitter, shim ...

The log-energy parameter, typically derived from a full-band spectrum, is a critical feature commonly used in automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. However, log-energy is difficult to estimate reliably in the presence of background noise. In this pap ...

In this thesis, methods and models are developed and presented aiming at the estimation, restoration and transformation of the characteristics of human speech. During a first period of the thesis, a concept was developed that allows restoring prosodic voic ...

Privacy-Sensitive Audio Features for Speech/Nonspeech Detection

Hervé Bourlard, Daniel Gatica-Perez, Sree Hari Krishnan Parthasarathi

The goal of this paper is to investigate features for speech/nonspeech detection (SND) having ``minimal'' linguistic information from the speech signal. Towards this, we present a comprehensive study of privacy-sensitive features for SND in multiparty conv ...

Error Resilient Speech Coding Using Sub-band Hilbert Envelopes

Petr Motlicek, Hynek Hermansky, Sriram Ganapathy

Frequency Domain Linear Prediction (FDLP) represents a technique for auto-regressive modelling of Hilbert envelopes of a signal. In this paper, we propose a speech coding technique that uses FDLP in Quadrature Mirror Filter (QMF) sub-bands of short segment ...
