Speech is the most natural means of communication for humans. Therefore, since the beginning of computers it has been a goal to interact with machines via speech. While there have been gradual improvements in this field over the decades, and with recent dr ...
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 ...
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’ ...
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are the leading models for human body landmark detection from RGB vision data. However, as such models require high computational load, an alternative is to rely on depth images which, due to their more simple nature, ca ...
The SNR spectrum was previously introduced as a natural consequence of using cepstral normalisa-
tion in speech recognition; it is closely related to the articulation index of Fletcher. Motivated initially
by a theoretical difficulty in frequency warping, ...
The multi-channel Wiener filter (MWF) is a well-known multi-microphone speech enhancement technique, aiming at improving the quality of the recorded speech signals in noisy and reverberant environments. Assuming that reverberation and ambient noise can be ...
Speech-based degree of sleepiness estimation is an emerging research problem. In the literature, this problem has been mainly addressed through modeling of low level of descriptors. This paper investigates an end-to-end approach, where given raw waveform a ...
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 ...
We show that confidence measures estimated from local posterior probabilities can serve as objective functions for training ANNs in hybrid HMM based speech recognition systems. This leads to a segment-level training paradigm that overcomes the limitation o ...
This paper addresses the problem of detecting speech utterances from a large audio archive using a simple spoken query, hence referring to this problem as "Query by Example Spoken Term Detection" (QbE-STD). This still open pattern matching problem has been ...
