Independent component analysis for noisy speech recognition
Independent component analysis (ICA) is not only popular for blind source separation but also for unsupervised learning when the observations can be decomposed into some independe...

On the interdependencies between voice quality, glottal gaps, and voice-source related acoustic measures
In human speech production, the voice source contains important non-lexical information, especially relating to a speaker's voice quality. In this study, direct measurements ...

Acoustic compensation methods for body transmitted speech conversion
Statistical voice conversion is very effective for enhancing body transmitted speech recorded with Non-Audible Murmur (NAM) microphone. In this method, a probabilistic model to co...

Function of Phase-Distortion for glottal model estimation
In voice analysis, the parameters estimation of a glottal model, an analytic description of the deterministic component of the glottal source, is a challenging question to assess ...

Can voice quality improve mandarin tone recognition?
We investigate several measures of voice quality (VQ) to improve tone recognition in Mandarin Chinese. We find that band energy measures such as Spectral Balance (Sluijter and va...
