We propose a novel feature set for speaker recognition that is based on the voice source signal. The feature extraction process uses closed-phase LPC analysis to estimate the voca...
To make voice conversion usable in practical applications, the number of training sentences should be minimized. With traditional Gaussian mixture model (GMM) based techniques sma...
The Glottal Source is an important component of voice as it can be considered as the excitation signal to the voice apparatus. Nowadays, new techniques of speech processing such a...
It is well known that the classical linear predictive model for speech fails to take into account the quasi-periodic nature of the glottal flow typical of voiced speech. In this ...
This paper describes a new method for fast speaker adaptation in large vocabulary recognition systems. As in most HMM-based recognizers, the observation densities are modeled as a...
