In this paper we revise the penalty term of the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Based on our previous approach to penalize each cluster only with its corresponding effective...
Extractive summarization of conference and lecture speech is useful for online learning and references. We show for the first time that deep(er) rhetorical parsing of conference ...
This paper presents a novel method of enhancing esophageal speech using statistical voice conversion. Esophageal speech is one of the alternative speaking methods for laryngectome...
This paper considers the environment of interleaved, multi-channel measurements as arises for example in time-interleaved A/D converters and in distributed sensor networks. Such s...
The problem of minimizing the rank of a matrix subject to linear equality constraints arises in applications in machine learning, dimensionality reduction, and control theory, and...
In this paper we present a noise level estimator using minimal values of the Short Time Fourier Transform of a signal embedded in a white Gaussian noise. The spectral kurtosis of ...
We propose a novel non-linear video diffusion approach which is able to focus on parts of a video sequence that are relevant for applications in audio-visual analysis. The diffusi...
In this paper, we propose a novel area of research referred to as singing information processing. To shape the concept of this area, we first introduce singing understanding syst...
We propose a sensor positioning scheme for a wireless sensor network consisting of beacons as well as collaborative anchors (CA) to help sensors within a prescribed service area t...
