Probabilistic Symbol Sequence Matching and its Application to Pathological Speech Intelligibility Assessment
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 ...
Idiap2021Multilingual bottleneck features for subword modeling in zero-resource languages
How can we effectively develop speech technology for languages where no transcribed data is available? Many existing approaches use no annotated resources at all, yet it makes sense to leverage information from large annotated corpora in other languages, f ...
2018Perceptual Information Loss due to Impaired Speech Production
Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei
Phonological classes define articulatory-free and articulatory-bound phone attributes. Deep neural network is used to estimate the probability of phonological classes from the speech signal. In theory, a unique combination of phone attributes form a phonem ...
2017Sound Pattern Matching for Automatic Prosodic Event Detection
Hervé Bourlard, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei, Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet
Prosody in speech is manifested by variations of loudness, exaggeration of pitch, and specific phonetic variations of prosodic segments. For example, in the stressed and unstressed syllables, there are differences in place or manner of articulation, vowels ...
Idiap2016Grain boundary relaxation in yellow gold bi-crystals
Daniele Mari, Robert Schaller, Iva Tkalcec Vâju
The mechanical loss spectrum of a yellow gold bi-crystal is presented and analyzed in detail. The relaxation strength is monitored as a function of several geometrical parameters such as sample width, length and thickness. It is found that the relaxation s ...
Elsevier2015Joint 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 ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2013Individual Differences in the Discrimination of Novel Speech Sounds: Effects of Sex, Temporal Processing, Musical and Cognitive Abilities
This study examined whether rapid temporal auditory processing, verbal working memory capacity, non-verbal intelligence, executive functioning, musical ability and prior foreign language experience predicted how well native English speakers (N = 120) discr ...
Public Library of Science2012More Than Words: Inference of Socially Relevant Information from Nonverbal Vocal Cues in Speech
Gelareh Mohammadi, Alessandro Vinciarelli
This paper presents two examples of how nonverbal commu- nication can be automatically detected and interpreted in terms of social phenomena. In particular, the presented approaches use simple prosodic features to distinguish between journalists and non-jo ...
