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 ...
EPFL2023Can Self-Supervised Neural Networks Pre-Trained on Human Speech distinguish Animal Callers?
Mathew Magimai Doss, Eklavya Sarkar
Self-supervised learning (SSL) models use only the intrinsic structure of a given signal, independent of its acoustic domain, to extract essential information from the input to an embedding space. This implies that the utility of such representations is no ...
ISCA2023Sparse Autoencoders for Speech Modeling and Recognition
Speech recognition-based applications upon the advancements in artificial intelligence play an essential role to transform most aspects of modern life. However, speech recognition in real-life conditions (e.g., in the presence of overlapping speech, varyin ...
EPFL2023Bone conduction facilitates self-other voice discrimination
Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Oliver Alan Kannape, Pavo Orepic
One's own voice is one of the most important and most frequently heard voices. Although it is the sound we associate most with ourselves, it is perceived as strange when played back in a recording. One of the main reasons is the lack of bone conduction tha ...
2023Automatic pathological speech assessment
Many pathologies cause impairments in the speech production mechanism resulting in reduced speech intelligibility and communicative ability. To assist the clinical diagnosis, treatment and management of speech disorders, automatic pathological speech asses ...
EPFL2022On Breathing Pattern Information in Synthetic Speech
Mathew Magimai Doss, Zohreh Mostaani
The respiratory system is an integral part of human speech production. As a consequence, there is a close relation between respiration and speech signal, and the produced speech signal carries breathing pattern related information. Speech can also be gener ...
ISCA-INT SPEECH COMMUNICATION ASSOC2022Temporal Pathways to Learning: How Learning Emerges in an Open-ended Collaborative Activity
Pierre Dillenbourg, Mortadha Abderrahim, Jauwairia Nasir, Aditi Kothiyal
The learning process depends on the nature of the learning environment, particularly in the case of open-ended learning environments, where the learning process is considered to be non-linear. In this paper, we report on the findings of employing a multimo ...
2022Deep learning architectures for estimating breathing signal and respiratory parameters from speech recordings
Mathew Magimai Doss, Zohreh Mostaani, Venkata Srikanth Nallanthighal
Respiration is an essential and primary mechanism for speech production. We first inhale and then produce speech while exhaling. When we run out of breath, we stop speaking and inhale. Though this process is involuntary, speech production involves a system ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2021Novel Methods for Incorporating Prior Knowledge for Automatic Speech Assessment
Subrahmanya Pavankumar Dubagunta
Speech signal conveys several kinds of information such as a message, speaker identity, emotional state of the speaker and social state of the speaker. Automatic speech assessment is a broad area that refers to using automatic methods to predict human judg ...
EPFL2021Probabilistic Symbol Sequence Matching and its Application to Pathological Speech Intelligibility Assessment
Matching of a test signal to a reference word hypothesis forms the core of many speech processing problems, including objective speech intelligibility assessment. This paper first shows that the comparison of two speech signals can be formulated as matchin ...
