We propose a novel framework for noise robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) based on cochlear implant-like spectrally reduced speech (SRS). Two experimental protocols (EPs) are proposed in order to clarify the advantage of using SRS for noise robust A ...
This paper describes speaker discrimination experiments in which native English listeners were presented with natural speech stimuli in English and Mandarin, synthetic speech stimuli in English and Mandarin, or natural Mandarin speech and synthetic English ...
The present invention discloses a method, apparatus and computer program product for determining the location of a plurality of speech sources in an area of interest, comprising performing an algorithm on a signal issued by either one of said plurality of ...
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 ...

The ability of human auditory systems to focus on one signal and ignore other signals in an auditory scene where several auditory events are taking place, often referred to as cocktail-party effect, is a key to localization of sound sources. This ability i ...
This paper investigates the combination of cepstral normalization and cochlear implant-like speech processing for microphone array- based speech recognition. Testing speech signals are recorded by a circular microphone array and are subsequently processed ...
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 ...
In recent works, the use of phone class-conditional posterior probabilities (posterior features) directly as features provided successful results in template-based ASR systems. In this paper, motivated by the high quality of current text-to-speech systems ...
Recently, the use of phoneme class-conditional probabilities as features (posterior features) for template-based ASR has been proposed. These features have been found to generalize well to unseen data and yield better systems than standard spectral-based f ...
This study examined whether rapid temporal auditory processing, verbal working memory capacity, non-verbal intelligence, executive functioning, musical ability and prior foreign language experience predicted how well native English speakers (N = 120) discr ...
