On matching data and model in LF-MMI-based dysarthric speech recognition

Enno Hermann

In light of steady progress in machine learning, automatic speech recognition (ASR) is entering more and more areas of our daily life, but people with dysarthria and other speech pathologies are left behind. Their voices are underrepresented in the trainin ...

Novel Methods For Detection And Analysis Of Atypical Aspects In Speech

Julian David Fritsch

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 ...

On Modeling the Synergy Between Acoustic and Lexical Information for Pronunciation Lexicon Development

Marzieh Razavi

State-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) and text-to-speech systems require a pronunciation lexicon that maps each word to a sequence of phones. Manual development of lexicons is costly as it needs linguistic knowledge and human expertise. To fa ...

On Structured Sparsity of Phonological Posteriors for Linguistic Parsing

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei

The speech signal conveys information on different time scales from short (20--40 ms) time scale or segmental, associated to phonological and phonetic information to long (150--250 ms) time scale or supra segmental, associated to syllabic and prosodic info ...

On Learning Grapheme-to-Phoneme Relationships through the Acoustic Speech Signal

Mathew Magimai Doss, Ramya Rasipuram

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, through use of the phoneme as an intermediary unit representation, split the problem of modeling the relationship between the written form, i.e., the text and the acoustic speech signal into two disjoint processe ...

Enhancing posterior based speech recognition systems

The use of local phoneme posterior probabilities has been increasingly explored for improving speech recognition systems. Hybrid hidden Markov model / artificial neural network (HMM/ANN) and Tandem are the most successful examples of such systems. In this ...

Robust audio segmentation

Jitendra Ajmera

Audio segmentation, in general, is the task of segmenting a continuous audio stream in terms of acoustically homogenous regions, where the rule of homogeneity depends on the task. This thesis aims at developing and investigating efficient, robust and unsup ...

Using auxiliary sources of knowledge for automatic speech recognition

Mathew Magimai Doss

Standard hidden Markov model (HMM) based automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems usually use cepstral features as acoustic observation and phonemes as subword units. Speech signal exhibits wide range of variability such as, due to environmental variatio ...
