Variational methods for model comparison have become popular in the neural computing/machine learning literature. In this paper we explore their application to the Bayesian analys...
Speaker recognition using support vector machines (SVMs) with features derived from generative models has been shown to perform well. Typically, a universal background model (UBM)...
Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) and the minimum error rate classifier (i.e. Bayesian optimal classifier) are popular and effective tools for speech emotion recognition. Typically, ...

It is well known that frame independence assumption is a fundamental limitation of current HMM based speech recognition systems. By treating each speech frame independently, HMMs ...
Exploiting prior knowledge, we use Bayesian estimation to localize a source heard by a fixed sensor network. The method has two main aspects: Firstly, the probability density fun...
