Using more informative posterior probabilities for speech recognition

Hervé Bourlard, Samy Bengio, Hamed Ketabdar

In this paper, we present initial investigations towards boosting posterior probability based speech recognition systems by estimating more informative posteriors taking into account acoustic context (e.g., the whole utterance), as well as possible prior i ...

Continuous Microphone Array Speech Recognition on Wall Street Journal Corpus

Hervé Bourlard

In this paper, we present a robust speech acquisition system to acquire continuous speech using a microphone array. A microphone array based speech recognition system is also presented to study the environmental interference due to reverberation, backgroun ...

Aural and automatic forensic speaker recognition in mismatched conditions

Andrzej Drygajlo, Anil Alexander

In this article, we compare aural and automatic speaker recognition in the context of forensic analyses, using a Bayesian framework for the interpretation of evidence. We use perceptual tests performed by non-experts and compare their performance with that ...

Can a Professional Imitator Fool a GMM-Based Speaker Verification System?

Samy Bengio

This paper presents an attempt at assessing empirically how a state-of-the-art text-independent speaker verification system behaves when confronted to imposting attempts from a professional imitator who perfectly knows how to imitate in particular the clie ...

A Kernel Trick For Sequences Applied to Text-Independent Speaker Verification Systems

Samy Bengio

This paper present a principled SVM based speaker verification system. We propose a new framework and a new sequence kernel that can make use of any Mercer kernel at the frame level. An extension of the sequence kernel based on the Max operator is also pro ...

Robust Audio Segmentation

Hervé Bourlard, Jitendra Ajmera

Audio segmentation, in general, is the task of segmenting a continuous audio stream in terms of acoustically homogenous regions, where the rule of homogeneity depends on the task. This thesis aims at developing and investigating efficient, robust and unsup ...

Towards using hierarchical posteriors for flexible automatic speech recognition systems

Hervé Bourlard, Samy Bengio, Bertrand Mesot

Local state (or phone) posterior probabilities are often investigated as local classifiers (e.g., hybrid HMM/ANN systems) or as transformed acoustic features (e.g., ``Tandem'') towards improved speech recognition systems. In this paper, we present initial ...

Confidence Measures in Multiple pronunciations Modeling For Speaker Verification

Hervé Bourlard

This paper investigates the use of multiple pronunciations modeling for User-Customized Password Speaker Verification (UCP-SV). The main characteristic of the UCP-SV is that the system does not have any {\it a priori} knowledge about the password used by t ...

On the Combination of Speech and Speaker Recognition

Hervé Bourlard

This paper investigates an approach that maximizes the joint posterior probabil ity of the pronounced word and the speaker identity given the observed data. This probability can be expressed as a product of the posterior probability of the pronounced word ...
