Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is a very attractive means for human-machine
interaction. The degree of maturity reached by speech recognition technologies during …

The past decade has witnessed a growing interest in deploying automatic speech
recognition (ASR) in communication networks. The networks such as wireless networks …

This paper analyses the performance of a large bunch of pitch detection algorithms on clean
and noisy speech data. Two sets of noisy speech data are considered. One corresponds to …

The frame rate of the observation sequence in distributed speech recognition applications
may be reduced to suit a resource-limited front-end device. In order to use models trained …

Stress is defined as a form of psychalgia. Owing to the current day lifestyle of Homo-sapiens,
the most recurring pain is psychogenic; and the most damaging form of psychalgia. Stress in …

Reliable, automatic and objective detector of pathological voice disorders from speech
signals is a long sought-for tool, by voice clinicians as well as by general practitioners. Such …

The fundamental frequency is one of the prosodic parameters, and many algorithms have
been developed for estimating the fundamental frequency of speech signals. Most of them …

The desire for improved user interfaces for distributed speech and multimodal services on
mobile devices has motivated the need for reliable recognition performance over mobile …

The prosody of the speech signal conveys information over the linguistic content of the
message: prosody structures the utterance, and also brings information on speaker's attitude …

In expressive TTS and voice transformation systems, implantation of expressive prosody
derived from external out-of-domain sources often leads to extreme pitch modification that …
