In this paper, we present a new method for recognizing tones in continuous speech for tonal languages. The method works by converting the speech signal to a cepstrogram, extracting a sequence of cepstral features using a convolutional…
The recently proposed Conformer architecture has shown state-of-the-art performances in Automatic Speech Recognition by combining convolution with attention to model both local and global dependencies. In this paper, we study how to reduce…
This paper proposes APSS, a novel neural speech separation model with parallel amplitude and phase spectrum estimation. Unlike most existing speech separation methods, the APSS distinguishes itself by explicitly estimating the phase…
Recent studies have demonstrated that correntropy is an efficient tool for analyzing higher-order statistical moments in nonGaussian noise environments. Although it has been used with complex data, some adaptations were then necessary…
Automated analysis of endoscopic imagery is a critical yet underdeveloped component of ENT (ear, nose, and throat) care, hindered by variability in devices and operators, subtle and localized findings, and fine-grained distinctions such as…
The estimation of glottal flow from a speech waveform is a key method for speech analysis and parameterization. Significant research effort has been made to dissociate the first vocal tract resonance from the glottal formant (the…
A universal methodology for coding-decoding the complex amplitude field of an imaged sample in coherent microscopy is presented, where no restrictions on any of the two interferometric beams are required. Thus, the imaging beam can be…
This paper addresses a major challenge in acoustic event detection, in particular infant cry detection in the presence of other sounds and background noises: the lack of precise annotated data. We present two contributions for supervised…
The effectiveness of pain management relies on the choice and the correct use of suitable pain assessment tools. In the case of newborns, some of the most common tools are human-based and observational, thus affected by subjectivity and…
In this paper, we analyze electroencephalograms (EEG) which are recordings of brain electrical activity. We develop new clustering methods for identifying synchronized brain regions, where the EEGs show similar oscillations or waveforms…
Reliable in-hand manipulation requires accurate real-time estimation of slip between a gripper and a grasped object. Existing tactile sensing approaches based on vision, capacitance, or force-torque measurements face fundamental trade-offs…
Chewing side preference (CSP) has been identified both as a risk factor for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and behavioral manifestation. Despite TMDs affecting roughly one third of the global population, assessment mainly relies on…
Animal vocalisations contain important information about health, emotional state, and behaviour, thus can be potentially used for animal welfare monitoring. Motivated by the spectro-temporal patterns of chick calls in the time$-$frequency…
Recent studies have demonstrated that correntropy is an efficient tool for analyzing higher-order statistical moments in nonGaussian noise environments. Although correntropy has been used with complex data, no theoretical study was pursued…
The cleft lip and palate (CLP) speech intelligibility is distorted due to the deformation in their articulatory system. For addressing the same, a few previous works perform phoneme specific modification in CLP speech. In CLP speech, both…
This article develops a general detection theory for speech analysis based on time-varying autoregressive models, which themselves generalize the classical linear predictive speech analysis framework. This theory leads to a computationally…
We study effects of additive white noise on the cepstral representation of speech signals. Distribution of each individual cepstrum coefficient of speech is shown to depend strongly on noise and to overlap significantly with the cepstrum…
Deviations of the septal wall are widespread anatomic anomalies of the human nose; they vary significantly in shape and location, and often cause the obstruction of the nasal airways. When severe, septal deviations need to be surgically…
Although diffusion models in text-to-speech have become a popular choice due to their strong generative ability, the intrinsic complexity of sampling from diffusion models harms their efficiency. Alternatively, we propose VoiceFlow, an…
Motor age determination as a part of condition monitoring heavily employs vibration analysis. This study introduces a new method for such analysis, based on concepts of cepstrum and marginal Hilbert spectrum. This new method, named Berthil…
