We show how an SVM based acoustic speaker verification system can be significantly improved in incorporating new visual features that capture the speaker’s “Body Language.” ...

Traditionally, the Universal Background Model (UBM) is viewed as the background model of the entire acoustic feature space. We propose a novel interpretation of the UBM model, and...
We describe recent progress in the field of prosodic modeling for speaker verification. In a previous paper, we proposed a technique for modeling syllable-based prosodic feature...
Abstract. Natural speech is produced by the vocal organs of a particular talker. The acoustic features of the speech signal must therefore be correlated with the movements of the a...
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) applications for improving the oral skills of low-proficient learners have to cope with nonnative speech that is particularly challengin...
