Vowel-like regions (VLRs) in speech includes vowels, semi-vowels, and diphthong sound
units. VLR can be identified using a vowel-like region onset point (VLROP) event. By …

Little is known about the extent to which reverberation affects speech intelligibility by
cochlear implant (CI) listeners. Experiment 1 assessed CI users' performance using Institute …

This paper proposes the use of speech-specific features for speech/music classification.
Features representing the excitation source, vocal tract system and syllabic rate of speech …

Speaker recognition system may be viewed as working in four stages, namely, analysis,
feature extraction, modeling and testing. This paper gives an overview of the major …

This paper presents a noisy speech enhancement method by combining linear prediction
(LP) residual weighting in the time domain and spectral processing in the frequency domain …

The performance of recent dereverberation methods for reverberant speech preprocessing
prior to Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is compared for an extensive range of room …

This paper presents a single-microphone approach to the enhancement of noisy reverberant
speech via inverse filtering and spectral processing. An efficient algorithm is used to blindly …

The source-filter paradigm, which is used in human speech development, would be used in
this proposal to increase speech quality. Excitation signals in the cepstral domain are …

Reverberation severely degrades speech intelligibility for cochlear implant (CI) users. The
ideal reverberant mask (IRM), a binary mask for reverberation suppression which is …

A method for the robust segmentation of foreground speech in the presence of background
degradation using zero frequency filtered signal (ZFFS) is proposed. The speech signal from …
