Inspired by the human ability to localize sounds, even with only one ear, as well as to recognize objects using active echolocation, we investigate the role of sound scattering and prior knowledge in regularizing ill-posed inverse problems in acoustics. In ...
BACKGROUND: Deletions and duplications of the 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 locus are prevalent copy number variations (CNVs), highly associated with autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. Beyond language and global cognition, neuropsychological assessments of thes ...
Most of the Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms involve use of distributed vector representations of linguistic units (primarily words and sentences) also known as embeddings in one way or another. These embeddings come in two flavours namely, sta ...
We describe here a collection of speech data of bilingual and trilingual speakers of English, French, German and Italian. In the context of speech to speech translation (S2ST), this database is designed for several purposes and studies: training CLSA syste ...
This paper presents the development and evaluation of an automatic audio indexing system designed for a special task: work in a bilingual environment in the Parliament of the Canton of Valais in Switzerland, with two official languages, German and French. ...
Moroccan Darija is one of the Arabic dialects, a continuum of under-resourced vernaculars. We develop a Moroccan Darija Wordnet (MDW) using a bilingual Moroccan-English dictionary, from which we collect nearly 13,000 definitions and over 15,000 lemmas. A M ...
The advent of statistical parametric speech synthesis has paved new ways to a unified framework for hidden Markov model (HMM) based text to speech synthesis (TTS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR). The techniques and advancements made in the field of ...

Standard hidden Markov model (HMM) based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems use phonemes as subword units. Thus, development of ASR system for a new language or domain depends upon the availability of a phoneme lexicon in the target language. In th ...
The thesis work was motivated by the goal of developing personalized speech-to-speech translation and focused on one of its key component techniques – cross-lingual speaker adaptation for text-to-speech synthesis. A personalized speech-to-speech translator ...
