Subword modeling for zero-resource languages aims to learn low-level representations of speech audio without using transcriptions or other resources from the target language (such as text corpora or pronunciation dictionaries). A good representation should ...
This chapter contributes towards advancing finger vein template protection research by presenting the first analysis on the suitability of the BioHashing template protection scheme for finger vein verification systems, in terms of the effect on the system’ ...
Feature extraction is a key step in many machine learning and signal processing applications. For speech signals in particular, it is important to derive features that contain both the vocal characteristics of the speaker and the content of the speech. In ...
Multimedia databases are growing rapidly in size in the digital age. To increase the value of these data and to enhance the user experience, there is a need to make these videos searchable through automatic indexing. Because people appearing and talking in ...
This paper introduces a new task termed low-latency speaker spotting (LLSS). Related to security and intelligence applications, the task involves the detection, as soon as possible, of known speakers within multi-speaker audio streams. The paper describes ...
This thesis deals with exploiting the low-dimensional multi-subspace structure of speech towards the goal of improving acoustic modeling for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Leveraging the parsimonious hierarchical nature of speech, we hypothesize that ...
Speaker verification systems traditionally extract and model cepstral features or filter bank energies from the speech signal. In this paper, inspired by the success of neural network-based approaches to model directly raw speech signal for applications su ...
A new software for modeling pathological speech signals is presented in this paper. The software is called NeuroSpeech. This software enables the analysis of pathological speech signals considering different speech dimensions: phonation, articulation, pros ...
Children speech recognition based on short-term spectral features is a challenging task. One of the reasons is that children speech has high fundamental frequency that is comparable to formant frequency values. Furthermore, as children grow, their vocal ap ...
In hidden Markov model (HMM) based automatic speech recognition (ASR) system, modeling the statistical relationship between the acoustic speech signal and the HMM states that represent linguistically motivated subword units such as phonemes is a crucial st ...
