On Structured Sparsity of Phonological Posteriors for Linguistic Parsing

Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei

The speech signal conveys information on different time scales from short (20–40 ms) time scale or segmental, associated to phonological and phonetic information to long (150–250 ms) time scale or supra segmental, associated to syllabic and prosodic inform ...

A simple continuous excitation model for parametric vocoding

Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

We describe a continuous-pitch parametric vocoder suitable for speech coding and statistical text to speech synthesis. The spectral model is based on linear prediction. We show that glottal modelling techniques from recent literature can be cherry-picked t ...

, ,

Phonological features extracted by neural network have shown interesting potential for low bit rate speech vocoding. The span of phonological features is wider than the span of phonetic features, and thus fewer frames need to be transmitted. Moreover, the ...

Multi-parametric source-filter separation of speech and prosodic voice restoration

Olaf Schleusing

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 ...

VTLN-Based Rapid Cross-Lingual Adaptation for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis

Philip Neil Garner, John David Scott Dines, Hui Liang, Lakshmi Babu Saheer

Cross-lingual speaker adaptation (CLSA) has emerged as a new challenge in statistical parametric speech syn- thesis, with specific application to speech-to-speech translation. Recent research has shown that reasonable speaker similarity can be achieved in ...

Idiap2012

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 ...

Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL)2012

Many works on speech processing have dealt with auto-regressive (AR) models for spectral envelope and formant frequency estimation, mostly focusing on the estimation of the AR parameters. However, it is also interesting to be able to directly estimate the ...

Wide-Band Audio Coding based on Frequency Domain Linear Prediction

Petr Motlicek, Hynek Hermansky, Sriram Ganapathy

We revisit an original concept of speech coding in which the signal is separated into the carrier modulated by the signal envelope. A recently developed technique, called frequency-domain linear prediction (FDLP), is applied for the efficient estimation of ...

Wide-Band Audio Coding based on Frequency Domain Linear Prediction

In this paper, we re-visit an original concept of speech coding in which the signal is separated into the carrier modulated by the signal envelope. A recently developed technique, called frequency domain linear prediction (FDLP), is applied for the efficie ...

In this paper we deal with reduced basis techniques applied to Stokes equations. We consider domains with different shape, parametrized by affine and non-affine maps with respect to a reference domain. The proposed method is ideally suited for the repeated ...
