Context-Aware Attention Mechanism for Speech Emotion Recognition

Philip Neil Garner, Gaétan Ramet

In this work, we study the use of attention mechanisms to enhance the performance of the state-of-the-art deep learning model in Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). We introduce a new Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-based neural network attention model which i ...

Fast Language Adaptation Using Phonological Information

Hervé Bourlard, Sibo Tong, Philip Neil Garner

Phoneme-based multilingual connectionist temporal classification (CTC) model is easily extensible to a new language by concatenating parameters of the new phonemes to the output layer. In the present paper, we improve cross-lingual adaptation in the contex ...

The SUMMA Platform Prototype

Hervé Bourlard, Andrei Popescu-Belis, Philip Neil Garner, Nikolaos Pappas, Sibo Tong, Yang Wang, Ahmed Ali, Steve Renals, Lesly Sadiht Miculicich Werlen, Marco Damonte

We present the first prototype of the SUMMA Platform: an integrated platform for multilingual media monitoring. The platform contains a rich suite of low-level and high-level natural language processing technologies: automatic speech recognition of broadca ...

Incremental Syllable-Context Phonetic Vocoding

Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

Current very low bit rate speech coders are, due to complexity limitations, designed to work off-line. This paper investigates incremental speech coding that operates real-time and incrementally (i.e., encoded speech depends only on already-uttered speech ...

Spatial Sound Localization via Multipath Euclidean Distance Matrix Recovery

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Philip Neil Garner, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Saeid Haghighatshoar

A novel localization approach is proposed in order to find the position of an individual source using recordings of a single microphone in a reverberant enclosure. The multipath propagation is modeled by multiple virtual microphones as images of the actual ...

Exploiting foreign resources for DNN-based ASR

David Imseng, Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner

Manual transcription of audio databases for the development of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems is a costly and time-consuming process. In the context of deriving acoustic models adapted to a specific application, or in low-resource scenarios, it ...

Robust Microphone Placement for Source Localization from Noisy Distance Measurements

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Philip Neil Garner, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Saeid Haghighatshoar

We propose a novel algorithm to design an optimum array geometry for source localization inside an enclosure. We assume a square-law decay propagation model for the sound acquisition so that the additive noise on the measured source-microphone distances is ...

Ad Hoc Microphone Array Calibration: Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion Algorithm and Theoretical Guarantees

Hervé Bourlard, Philip Neil Garner, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Reza Parhizkar

This paper addresses the problem of ad hoc microphone array calibration where only partial information about the distances between the microphones is available. We construct a matrix consisting of the pairwise distances and propose to estimate the missing ...

Applying Multi- and Cross-Lingual Stochastic Phone Space Transformations to Non-Native Speech Recognition

Hervé Bourlard, Mathew Magimai Doss, Philip Neil Garner, John David Scott Dines, David Imseng

In the context of hybrid HMM/MLP Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), this paper describes an investigation into a new type of stochastic phone space transformation, which maps "source" phone (or phone HMM state) posterior probabilities (as obtained at the ...
