Glottal-based analysis of the lombard effect
The Lombard effect refers to the speech changes due to the immersion of the speaker in a noisy environment. Among these changes, studies have already reported acoustic modificatio...

An improved wavelet-based dereverberation for robust automatic speech recognition
This paper presents an improved wavelet-based dereverberation method for automatic speech recognition (ASR). Dereverberation is based on filtering reverberant wavelet coefficients...

Discriminative adaptation for log-linear acoustic models
Log-linear models have recently been used in acoustic modeling for speech recognition systems. This has been motivated by competitive results compared to systems based on Gaussian...

Pitch similarity in the vicinity of backchannels
Dynamic modeling of spoken dialogue seeks to capture how interlocutors change their speech over the course of a conversation. Much work has focused on how speakers adapt or entrai...

Learning from human errors: prediction of phoneme confusions based on modified ASR training
In an attempt to improve models of human perception, the recognition of phonemes in nonsense utterances was predicted with automatic speech recognition (ASR) in order to analyze i...

Expectations for discourse genre identification: a prosodic study
Speech can be divided into discourse genres based on the contextual environment it occurs in (e.g. political speech, sport commentary speech, etc.). The present study investigated...

Distribution and trichotomic realization of voiced velars in Japanese - an experimental study
In this paper, we demonstrate the trichotomic realization of voiced velars in Japanese, challenging the traditional plosive/nasal dichotomy of velar allophones, and examine the di...

Acoustic vector resampling for GMMSVM-based speaker verification
Using GMM-supervectors as the input to SVM classifiers (namely, GMM-SVM) is one of the promising approaches to text-independent speaker verification. However, one unaddressed issu...
