Novel Methods For Detection And Analysis Of Atypical Aspects In Speech

Atypical aspects in speech concern speech that deviates from what is commonly considered normal or healthy. In this thesis, we propose novel methods for detection and analysis of these aspects, e.g. to monitor the temporary state of a speaker, diseases tha ...

Unsupervised Voice Activity Detection by Modeling Source and System Information using Zero Frequency Filtering

Mathew Magimai Doss, Eklavya Sarkar

Voice activity detection (VAD) is an important pre-processing step for speech technology applications. The task consists of deriving segment boundaries of audio signals which contain voicing information. In recent years, it has been shown that voice source ...

Utterance Verification-Based Dysarthric Speech Intelligibility Assessment Using Phonetic Posterior Features

Mathew Magimai Doss, Julian David Fritsch

In the literature, the task of dysarthric speech intelligibility assessment has been approached through development of different low-level feature representations, subspace modeling, phone confidence estimation or measurement of automatic speech recognitio ...

A guideline for linking brain wave findings to the various aspects of discrete perception

Michael Herzog, Lukas Vogelsang, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Brain waves, determined by electrical and magnetic brain recordings (e.g., EEG and MEG), and fluctuating behavioral responses, determined by response time or accuracy measures, are frequently taken to support discrete perception. For example, it has been p ...

Explainable Phonology-based Approach for Sign Language Recognition and Assessment

Sandrine Tornay

Sign language technology, unlike spoken language technology, is an emerging area of research. Sign language technologies can help in bridging the gap between the Deaf community and the hearing community. One such computer-aided technology is sign language ...

Automatic Pathological Speech Intelligibility Assessment Exploiting Subspace-Based Analyses

Hervé Bourlard, Ina Kodrasi, Parvaneh Janbakhshi

Competitive state-of-the-art automatic pathological speech intelligibility measures typically rely on regression training on a large number of features, require a large amount of healthy speech training data, or are applicable only to phonetically balanced ...

Language Independent Query by Example Spoken Term Detection

Dhananjay Ram

Language independent query-by-example spoken term detection (QbE-STD) is the problem of retrieving audio documents from an archive, which contain a spoken query provided by a user. This is usually casted as a hypothesis testing and pattern matching problem ...

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 â identity-vectorsâ (i-vectors) and deep neural network (DNN), by exploiting diverse (phonetic) information extracted using variou ...

Phonetic Subspace Features for Improved Query by Example Spoken Term Detection

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Dhananjay Ram

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 ...
