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 ...
Speech is the most natural means of communication for humans. Therefore, since the beginning of computers it has been a goal to interact with machines via speech. While there have been gradual improvements in this field over the decades, and with recent dr ...
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 ...
In a recent work, we have shown that speaker verification systems can be built where both features and classifiers are directly learned from the raw speech signal with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this framework, the training phase also decides ...
