Steganography is the art of hiding information in a cover media without attracting attention.
One of the cover media which can be used for steganography is speech. In this paper, we …

Age estimation based on human's speech features is an interesting subject in Automatic
Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. There are some works in literature on speaker age …

This paper presents a new approach for hiding information in speech signals. In this method,
the silence intervals of speech are found and the length (number of samples) of these …

In this paper, we propose a source localization algorithm based on a sparse Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT)-based feature extraction method and spatial sparsity. We represent the …

This paper describes an ongoing research to create an acoustic phonetic based telephone
Farsi speech database, called “Tfarsdat”. It is compared with two LDC Farsi corpora, OGI …

Embedding a secret message into a cover media without attracting any attention, known as
steganography, is one of the methods used for hidden communication purposes. One of the …

Speech Activity Detectors (SADs) are essential in the noisy environments to provide an
acceptable performance in the speech applications, such as speech recognition tasks. In …

Persian is one of the Indo-European languages which has borrowed its script from Arabic, a
member of Semitic language family. Since Persian and Arabic scripts are so similar …

Generating pronunciation variants of words is an important subject in speech research and
is used extensively in automatic speech recognition and segmentation systems. Decision …

This paper concerns a robust real‐time voice activity detection (VAD) approach which is
easy to understand and implement. The proposed approach employs several short‐term …
