In this paper, we introduce a new noise robust representation of speech signal obtained by locating points of potential importance in the spectrogram, and parameterizing the activity of time-frequency pattern around those points. These features are referre ...
This paper presents overview of an online audio indexing system, which creates a searchable index of speech content embedded in digitized audio files. This system is based on our recently proposed offline audio segmentation techniques. As the data arrives ...
In this paper, we introduce a new noise robust representation of speech signal obtained by locating points of potential importance in the spectrogram, and parameterizing the activity of time-frequency pattern around those points. These features are referre ...
Tandem systems transform the cepstral features into posterior probabilities of subword units using artificial neural networks (ANNs), which are processed to form input features for conventional speech recognition systems. They have been shown to perform be ...
This paper investigates a new approach to perform simultaneous speech and speaker recognition. The likelihood estimated by a speaker identification system is combined with the posterior probability estimated by the speech recognizer. So, the joint posterio ...
Recently, entropy measures at different stages of recognition have been used in automatic speech recognition (ASR) task. In a recent paper, we proposed that formant positions of a spectrum can be captured by multi-resolution spectral entropy feature. In th ...
Methods to improve noise robustness of speech recognition systems often result in degradation of recognition performance for clean speech. Recently proposed Phase AutoCorrelation (PAC) \cite{ikbal03,ikbal03a} based features, showing noticeable improvement ...
Standard ASR systems typically use phoneme as the subword units. Preliminary studies have shown that the performance of the ASR system could be improved by using grapheme as additional subword units. In this paper, we investigate such a system where the wo ...
This paper discusses and optimizes an HMM/GMM based User-Customized Password Speaker Verification (UCP-SV) system. Unlike text-dependent speaker verification, in UCP-SV systems, customers can choose their own passwords with no lexical constraints. The pass ...
This paper presents an approach to automatically extract and evaluate the ``stability'' of pronunciation variants (i.e., adequacy of the model to accommodate this variability), based on multiple pronunciations of each lexicon words and the knowledge of a r ...
