Intonation provides a means to convey information in speech that is independent of the words and their sounds. Finding a way to automatically describe this non-verbal inf [...]

We explored voice conversion systems to improve speech intelligibility of 1) dysarthric speech and 2) laryngectomees. In the first case, we explore the potential of condi [...]

Temporal patterns of frequency-localized features in ASR. This work investigates the use of frequency-localized temporal patterns of the speech signal for developin [...]

Continuous speech recognition systems are environmentally sensitive and suffer from the great variability of speech. In order to achieve recognition robustness, there's a [...]

In current large vocabulary continuous speech recognition systems, multivariate Gaussian mixture distributions and context-dependent phones, typically tri [...]
