An Acoustic Model Based on Kullback-Leibler Divergence for Posterior Features

Hervé Bourlard, Guillermo Aradilla

This paper investigates the use of features based on posterior probabilities of subword units such as phonemes. These features are typically transformed when used as inputs for a hidden Markov model with mixture of Gaussians as emission distribution (HMM/G ...

Sensing and communication with and without bits

Martin Vetterli, Michael Christoph Gastpar, Pier Luigi Dragotti

The successful design of sensor network architectures depends crucially on the structure of the sampling, observation, and communication processes. One of the most fundamental ques- tions concerns the sufficiency of discrete approximations in time, space, ...

The plenacoustic function on the circle with application to HRTF interpolation

Martin Vetterli, Luciano Sbaiz, Thibaut Ajdler

The sampling of the soundfield using circular microphone arrays is studied. We give a new representation of the soundfield sampled on such an array using the two-dimensional Fourier transform. We then show how we can reconstruct the soundfield at all possi ...

Finite length analysis of LT codes

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi

This paper provides an efficient method for analyzing the error probability of the belief propagation (BP) decoder applied to LT Codes. Each output symbol is generated independently by sampling from a distribution and adding the input symbols corresponding ...

The Plenacoustic Function, Sampling and Reconstruction

Martin Vetterli, Thibaut Ajdler

In the present paper, we study the spatialization of the soundfield in a room, in particular the evolution of room impulse responses as function of their spatial positions. The presented technique allows us to completely characterize the sound field in any ...

Sampling innovations

Pina Marziliano

Sampling theory has prospered extensively in the last century. The elegant mathematics and the vast number of applications are the reasons for its popularity. The applications involved in this thesis are in signal processing and communications and call out ...

The Plenacoustic Function and its Sampling

Martin Vetterli, Thibaut Ajdler

In this paper, we study the spatialization of the sound field in rooms, in particular the evolution of the room impulse responses in function of their spatial positions. Thanks to this study, we are now able to predict the sound field in any position knowi ...

Decoding Choice Encodings

We study two encodings of the asynchronous pi-calculus with input-guarded choice into its choice-free fragment. One encoding is divergence-free, but refines the atomic commitment of choice into gradual commitment. The other preserves atomicity, but introdu ...
