In the paper we present two techniques improving the recognition accuracy of multilayer perceptron neural networks (MLP ANN) by means of adopting Speaker Adaptive Training. The us...
We analyze humorous spoken conversations from a classic comedy television show, FRIENDS, by examining acousticprosodic and linguistic features and their utility in automatic humor...
We propose and motivate an alternative to the traditional error-based or cost-based evaluation metrics for the goodness of speaker detection performance. The metric that we propos...
The popular mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) capture a mixture of speaker-related, phonemic and channel information. Speaker-related information could be further broke...
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...
