The feature extraction stage of speech recognition is important historically and is the subject
of much current research, particularly to promote robustness to acoustic disturbances such …

Self-sustained instabilities and pseudo-periodic motion may be observed in hydraulic
structures and industrial flows. Documented examples include the hydraulic jump, sloshing …

It is well known that binaural processing is very useful for separating incoming sound
sources as well as for improving the intelligibility of speech in reverberant environments …

A major application area of microphone array processing is the localization of sound
sources, mainly of speaking persons. In contrast to most state-of-the-art approaches that are …

In the past few decades, many studies investigated air-water flows with natural free-surface
aeration. These studies included some physical experiments of free-surface flows down …

Online tracking of speakers is an important task for applications in smart environments such
as camera control, meeting annotation and speech separation. Challenges for an audio-only …

The objective of this thesis is the development of signal processing and analysis techniques
that would provide sharply improved speech recognition accuracy in highly reverberant …

Over the years, a variety of array processing techniques have been applied to the problem of
enhancing degraded speech to improve automatic speech recognition. In this context, linear …

Abstract Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) engines are extremely susceptible to noise.
There is an increasing prevalence of voice-assisted devices which need to recognize …

It is well known that binaural processing is very useful for separating incoming sound
sources as well as for improving speech intelligibility in reverberant environments. This …
