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 ...

EPFL2023

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 ...

Sound Pattern Matching for Automatic Prosodic Event Detection

Hervé Bourlard, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei, Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet

Prosody in speech is manifested by variations of loudness, exaggeration of pitch, and specific phonetic variations of prosodic segments. For example, in the stressed and unstressed syllables, there are differences in place or manner of articulation, vowels ...

Incremental Syllable-Context Phonetic Vocoding

Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

Current very low bit rate speech coders are, due to complexity limitations, designed to work off-line. This paper investigates incremental speech coding that operates real-time and incrementally (i.e., encoded speech depends only on already-uttered speech ...

Prosody in Swiss French Accents: Investigation using Analysis by Synthesis

Philip Neil Garner, Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet

It is very common for a language to have different dialects or accents. The different pronunciations of the same words is one of the reasons for the different accents, in the same language. Swiss French accents have similar pronunciation to standard French ...

Multi-parametric source-filter separation of speech and prosodic voice restoration

Olaf Schleusing

In this thesis, methods and models are developed and presented aiming at the estimation, restoration and transformation of the characteristics of human speech. During a first period of the thesis, a concept was developed that allows restoring prosodic voic ...

Vocal Tract Length Normalization for Statistical Parametric Speech Synthesis

Philip Neil Garner, John David Scott Dines, Lakshmi Babu Saheer

Vocal tract length normalization (VTLN) has been successfully used in automatic speech recognition for improved performance. The same technique can be implemented in statistical parametric speech synthesis for rapid speaker adaptation during synthesis. Thi ...

Many works on speech processing have dealt with auto-regressive (AR) models for spectral envelope and formant frequency estimation, mostly focusing on the estimation of the AR parameters. However, it is also interesting to be able to directly estimate the ...

Current trends in multilingual speech processing

Hervé Bourlard, Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, John David Scott Dines, Fabio Valente, David Imseng, Hui Liang, Lakshmi Babu Saheer

In this paper, we describe recent work at Idiap Research Institute in the domain of multilingual speech processing and provide some insights into emerging challenges for the research community. Multilingual speech processing has been a topic of ongoing int ...
