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 ...

"Can you hear me now?" : Automatic assessment of background noise intrusiveness and speech intelligibility in telecommunications

Raphaël Marc Ullmann

This thesis deals with signal-based methods that predict how listeners perceive speech quality in telecommunications. Such tools, called objective quality measures, are of great interest in the telecommunications industry to evaluate how new or deployed sy ...

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 ...

Joint Source-Filter Optimization for Accurate Vocal Tract Estimation Using Differential Evolution

Jean-Marc Vesin, Olaf Schleusing

In this work, we present a joint source-filter optimization approach for separating voiced speech into vocal tract (VT) and voice source components. The presented method is pitch-synchronous and thereby exhibits a high robustness against vocal jitter, shim ...

Overcoming Asynchrony in Audio-Visual Speech Recognition

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Virginia Estellers Casas

In this paper we propose two alternatives to overcome the natural asynchrony of modalities in Audio-Visual Speech Recognition. We first investigate the use of asynchronous statistical models based on Dynamic Bayesian Networks with different levels of async ...

Multilayer Perceptron Based Hierarchical Acoustic Modeling for Automatic Speech Recognition

Joel Praveen Pinto

In this thesis, we investigate a hierarchical approach for estimating the phonetic class-conditional probabilities using a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network. The architecture consists of two MLP classifiers in cascade. The first MLP is trained in ...

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 ...
