Standard automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems use phonemes as subword units. Thus, one of the primary resource required to build a good ASR system is a well developed phoneme pronunciation lexicon. However, under-resourced languages typically lack su ...
In recent works, the use of phone class-conditional posterior probabilities (posterior features) directly as features provided successful results in template-based ASR systems. Moreover, it has been shown that these features tend to be sparse and orthogona ...
The work described in this thesis takes place in the context of capturing real-life audio for the analysis of spontaneous social interactions. Towards this goal, we wish to capture conversational and ambient sounds using portable audio recorders. Analysis ...
Under-resourced speech recognizers may benefit from data in languages other than the target language. In this paper, we boost the performance of an Afrikaans speech recognizer by using already available data from other languages. To successfully exploit av ...
In this paper, we propose a novel parts-based binary-valued feature for ASR. This feature is extracted using boosted ensembles of simple threshold-based classifiers. Each such classifier looks at a specific pair of time-frequency bins located on the spectr ...

Roles are a key aspect of social interactions, as they contribute to the overall predictability of social behavior (a necessary requirement to deal effectively with the people around us), and they result in stable, possibly machine-detectable behavioral pa ...
Automatic recognition of gestures using computer vision is important for many real-world applications such as sign language recognition and human-robot interaction (HRI). Our goal is a real-time hand gesture-based HRI interface for mobile robots. We use a ...
Recently, several multi-layer perceptron (MLP)- based front-ends have been developed and used for Mandarin speech recognition, often showing significant complementary properties to conventional spectral features. Although widely used in multiple Mandarin s ...
