Simplification of mixture models has recently emerged as an important issue in the field of statistical learning. The heavy computational demands of using large order models dro...
A major factor which causes a deterioration in speech quality in HMM-based speech synthesis is the use of a simple delta pulse signal to generate the excitation of voiced speech. ...
Varying channel conditions present a difficult problem for many speech technologies such as language identification (LID). Channel compensation techniques have been shown to sig...
In current speech recognition systems mainly Short-Time Fourier Transform based features like MFCC are applied. Dropping the short-time stationarity assumption of the voiced speec...
This paper describes the improvement introduced in the Loquendo–Politecnico di Torino (LPT) speaker recognition system submitted to the NIST SRE10 evaluation campaign. This syst...
