Adjustable deterministic pseudonymization of speech
Mathew Magimai Doss, Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta
While public speech resources become increasingly available, there is a growing interest to preserve the privacy of the speakers, through methods that anonymize the speaker information from speech while preserving the spoken linguistic content. In this pap ...
ACADEMIC PRESS LTD- ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2022Towards Weakly Supervised Acoustic Subword Unit Discovery and Lexicon Development Using Hidden Markov Models
Ramya Rasipuram, Marzieh Razavi
Developing a phonetic lexicon for a language requires linguistic knowledge as well as human effort, which may not be available, particularly for under-resourced languages. An alternative to development of a phonetic lexicon is to automatically derive subwo ...
Idiap2017Unified Prosody Model based on Atom Decomposition for Emphasis Detection
Philip Neil Garner, Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet
The prosody of the speech signal carries both linguistic and paralinguistic information. As such, there is a necessity of its modelling for the purpose of integrating it in speech technology systems. So far, there has been a multitude of proposed models fo ...
2016An agonist-antagonist pitch production model
Prosody is a phenomenon that is crucial for numerous fields of speech research, accenting the importance of having a robust prosody model. A class of intonation models based on the physiology of pitch pro- duction are especially attractive for their inhere ...
2016Objective Intelligibility Assessment of Text-to-Speech Systems Through Utterance Verification
Hervé Bourlard, Ramya Rasipuram, Raphaël Marc Ullmann
Objective assessment of synthetic speech intelligibility can be a useful tool for the development of text-to-speech (TTS) systems, as it provides a reproducible and inexpensive alternative to subjective listening tests. In a recent work, it was shown that ...

2015Convolutional Pitch Target Approximation Model for Speech Synthesis
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 ...
Idiap2013Verified Speaker Localization Utilizing Voicing Level in Split-bands
Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh
This paper proposes a joint verification-localization structure based on split-band analysis of speech signal and the mixed voicing level. To address the problems in reverberant acoustic environments, a new fundamental frequency estimation algorithm is pro ...
2009Modeling Dominance in Group Conversations using NonVerbal Activity Cues
Daniel Gatica-Perez, Dinesh Babu Jayagopi
Dominance - a behavioral expression of power - is a fundamental mechanism of social interaction, expressed and perceived in conversations through spoken words and audio-visual nonverbal cues. The automatic modeling of dominance patterns from sensor data re ...
