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 ...
The process of determining the language of a speech utterance is called Language Identification (LID). This task can be very challenging as it has to take into account various language-specific aspects, such as phonetic, phonotactic, vocabulary and grammar ...
Automatic evaluation of non-native speech accentedness has potential implications for not only language learning and accent identification systems but also for speaker and speech recognition systems. From the perspective of speech production, the two prima ...
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 ...
We propose a stochastic phoneme space transformation technique that allows the conversion of conditional source phoneme posterior probabilities (conditioned on the acoustics) into target phoneme posterior probabilities. The source and target phonemes can b ...

This paper describes speaker discrimination experiments in which native English listeners were presented with natural speech stimuli in English and Mandarin, synthetic speech stimuli in English and Mandarin, or natural Mandarin speech and synthetic English ...

Language models for speech recognition are generally trained on text corpora. Since these corpora do not contain the disfluencies found in natural speech, there is a train/test mismatch when these models are applied to conversational speech. In this work w ...
This paper presents a new approach to estimate "universal" phoneme posterior probabilities for mixed language speech recognition. More specifically, we propose a new theoretical framework to combine phoneme class posterior probabilities in a principled way ...
