In this paper, we demonstrate speech recognition using electroencephalography (EEG) signals obtained using dry electrodes on a limited English vocabulary consisting of three vowels and one word using a deep learning model. We demonstrate a…

We propose a method for speech-to-speech emotionpreserving translation that operates at the level of discrete speech units. Our approach relies on the use of multilingual emotion embedding that can capture affective information in a…

Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) systems often assume congruence between vocal emotion and lexical semantics. However, in real-world interactions, acoustic-semantic conflict is common yet overlooked, where the emotion conveyed by tone…

Traditional approaches to automatic emotion recognition are relying on the application of handcrafted features. More recently however the advent of deep learning enabled algorithms to learn meaningful representations of input data…

Subjective and objective experiments are conducted to understand the extent to which a speaker's gender influences the acoustics of unvoiced (U) sounds. U segments of utterances are replaced by the corresponding segments of a speaker of…

For several decades, electroencephalography (EEG) has featured as one of the most commonly used tools in emotional state recognition via monitoring of distinctive brain activities. An array of datasets have been generated with the use of…

Speech emotion recognition is an important and challenging task in the realm of human-computer interaction. Prior work proposed a variety of models and feature sets for training a system. In this work, we conduct extensive experiments using…

Automatic syllable stress detection is a crucial component in Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) systems for language learners. Current stress detection models are typically trained on clean speech, which may not be robust in…

Voice controlled devices and services have become very popular in the consumer IoT. Cloud-based speech analysis services extract information from voice inputs using speech recognition techniques. Services providers can thus build very…

Introduction: Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals have gained significant popularity in various applications due to their rich information content. However, these signals are prone to contamination from various sources of artifacts, notably…

Speech and language technologies offer valuable opportunities for supporting mental health assessment through objective and interpretable cues. We present a systematic feature-based analysis framework leveraging perceptually grounded…

Objective: In cochlear implant users with residual acoustic hearing, compound action potentials (CAPs) can be evoked by acoustic (aCAP) or electric (eCAP) stimulation and recorded through the electrodes of the implant. We propose a novel…

Human emotion understanding is pivotal in making conversational technology mainstream. We view speech emotion understanding as a perception task which is a more realistic setting. With varying contexts (languages, demographics, etc.)…

Translation of imagined speech electroencephalogram(EEG) into human understandable commands greatly facilitates the design of naturalistic brain computer interfaces. To achieve improved imagined speech unit classification, this work aims to…

Electroencephalography (EEG) signals reflect activities on certain brain areas. Effective classification of time-varying EEG signals is still challenging. First, EEG signal processing and feature engineering are time-consuming and highly…

The goal of this contribution is to use a parametric speech synthesis system for reducing background noise and other interferences from recorded speech signals. In a first step, Hidden Markov Models of the synthesis system are trained. Two…

This review summarises the status of silent speech interface (SSI) research. SSIs rely on non-acoustic biosignals generated by the human body during speech production to enable communication whenever normal verbal communication is not…

Paralinguistic properties of speech are essential in analyzing and choosing optimal treatment options for patients with speech disorders. However, automatic modeling of these characteristics is difficult due to the lack of labeled speech…

Dialogue state tracking plays a crucial role in extracting information in task-oriented dialogue systems. However, preceding research are limited to textual modalities, primarily due to the shortage of authentic human audio datasets. We…

Both the temporal dynamics and spatial correlations of Electroencephalogram (EEG), which contain discriminative emotion information, are essential for the emotion recognition. However, some redundant information within the EEG signals would…
