Segmentation of continuous audio is important for speaker indexing. The reliability of models in speaker indexing depends much on segmentation. Commonly used method is based on th...
Multiple pitch estimation consists of estimating the fundamental frequencies and saliences of pitched sounds over short time frames of an audio signal. This task forms the basis of...
The efficiency of most pitch estimation methods declines when the analyzed frame is shortened and/or when a wide fundamental frequency (F0) range is targeted. The technique propo...
We will present a novel two-step fuzzy translation technique for cross-lingual spelling variants. In the first stage, transformation rules are applied to source words to render th...
