Spatio-temporal analysis of spontaneous speech with microphone arrays
Accurate detection, localization and tracking of multiple moving speakers permits a wide spectrum of applications. Techniques are required that are versatile, robust to environmental variations, and not constraining for non-technical end-users. Based on di ...
EPFL2007Short-Term Spatio-Temporal Clustering Applied to Multiple Moving Speakers
Jean-Marc Odobez, Guillaume Lathoud
Distant microphones permit to process spontaneous multi-party speech with very little constraints on speakers, as opposed to close-talking microphones. Minimizing the constraints on speakers permits a large diversity of applications, including meeting summ ...
2007Observations on Multi-Band Asynchrony in Distant Speech Recordings
Whenever the speech signal is captured by a microphone distant from the user, the acoustic response of the room introduces significant distortions. To remove these distortions from the signal, solutions exist that greatly improve the ASR performance (what ...

École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne2006Unsupervised Spectral Subtraction for Noise-Robust ASR on Unknown Transmission Channels
Hervé Bourlard, Guillaume Lathoud
This paper addresses several issues of classical spectral subtraction methods with respect to the automatic speech recognition task in noisy environments. The main contributions of this paper are twofold. First, a channel normalization method is proposed t ...
IDIAP2006Further Applications of Sector-Based Detection and Short-Term Clustering
This paper presents an effective implementation of detection-localization of multiple speech sources with microphone arrays. In particular, the Scaled Conjugate Gradient descent is used for fast and precise localization, within a pre-detected volume of spa ...
IDIAP2006Audio-visual probabilistic tracking of multiple speakers in meetings
Daniel Gatica-Perez, Jean-Marc Odobez, Guillaume Lathoud
Tracking speakers in multiparty conversations constitutes a fundamental task for automatic meeting analysis. In this paper, we present a probabilistic approach to jointly track the location and speaking activity of multiple speakers in a multisensor meetin ...
2006Sector-Based Detection for Hands-Free Speech Enhancement in Cars
Adaptation control of beamforming interference cancellation techniques is investigated for in-car speech acquisition. Two efficient adaptation control methods are proposed that avoid target cancellation. The ``implicit'' method varies the step-size continu ...
2006Threshold Selection for Unsupervised Detection, with an Application to Microphone Arrays
Hervé Bourlard, Guillaume Lathoud
Detection is usually done by comparing some criterion to a threshold. It is often desirable to keep a performance metric such as False Alarm Rate constant across conditions. Using training data to select the threshold may lead to suboptimal results on test ...
