Adjustable deterministic pseudonymization of speech

Mathew Magimai Doss, Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta

While public speech resources become increasingly available, there is a growing interest to preserve the privacy of the speakers, through methods that anonymize the speaker information from speech while preserving the spoken linguistic content. In this pap ...

Audio Feature Extraction with Convolutional Neural Autoencoders with Application to Voice Conversion

Golnooshsadat Elhami

Feature extraction is a key step in many machine learning and signal processing applications. For speech signals in particular, it is important to derive features that contain both the vocal characteristics of the speaker and the content of the speech. In ...

Learning voice source related information for depression detection

Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta

During depression neurophysiological changes can occur, which may affect laryngeal control i.e. behaviour of the vocal folds. Characterising these changes in a precise manner from speech signals is a non trivial task, as this typically involves reliable se ...

Improving Children Speech Recognition through Feature Learning from Raw Speech Signal

Selen Hande Kabil, Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta

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 ...

Phonetic aware techniques for Speaker Verification

Subhadeep Dey

The goal of this thesis is to improve current state-of-the-art techniques in speaker verification (SV), typically based on âidentity-vectorsâ (i-vectors) and deep neural network (DNN), by exploiting diverse (phonetic) information extracted using variou ...

Intonation Modelling for Speech Synthesis and Emphasis Preservation

Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet

Speech-to-speech translation is a framework which recognises speech in an input language, translates it to a target language and synthesises speech in this target language. In such a system, variations in the speech signal which are inherent to natural hum ...

Characterisation of voice quality of Parkinson's disease using differential phonological posterior features

Milos Cernak

Change in voice quality (VQ) is one of the first precursors of Parkinson's disease (PD). Specifically, impacted phonation and articulation causes the patient to have a breathy, husky-semiwhisper and hoarse voice. A goal of this paper is to characterize a V ...

Neural Decoding of Discriminative Auditory Object Features Depends on Their Socio-Affective Valence

Melissa Saenz, Wietske Van der Zwaag

Human voices consist of specific patterns of acoustic features that are considerably enhanced during affective vocalizations. These acoustic features are presumably used by listeners to accurately discriminate between acoustically or emotionally similar vo ...

Inter-limb coordination and energy cost in swimming

Kamiar Aminian, Grégoire Millet, Farzin Dadashi, Florent Crettenand

Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between inter-arm coordination and the energy cost of locomotion in front crawl and breaststroke and explored swimmers’ flexibility in adapting their motor organization away from their preferred movement ...

Joint Source-Filter Optimization for Accurate Vocal Tract Estimation Using Differential Evolution

Jean-Marc Vesin, Olaf Schleusing

In this work, we present a joint source-filter optimization approach for separating voiced speech into vocal tract (VT) and voice source components. The presented method is pitch-synchronous and thereby exhibits a high robustness against vocal jitter, shim ...
