This paper examines how people communicate with computers using speech. Automatic
speech recognition (ASR) transforms speech into text, while automatic speech synthesis [or …

Vocal tract length is highly variable across speakers and determines many aspects of the
acoustic speech signal, making it an essential parameter to consider for explaining …

Whisper is a common means of communication used to avoid disturbing individuals or to
exchange private information. As a vocal style, whisper would be an ideal candidate for …

Vocal tract length normalization (VTLN) for standard filterbank-based Mel frequency cepstral
coefficient (MFCC) features is usually implemented by warping the center frequencies of the …

Automatic recognition of children's speech using acoustic models trained by adults results in
poor performance due to differences in speech acoustics. These acoustical differences are a …

We used single-crystalline Fe dots self-assembled under UHV as a model system to discuss
micromagnetic properties of sub-micron size magnetic dots and show what properties may …

This paper proposes a novel low-complexity lip contour model for high-level optic feature
extraction in noise-robust audiovisual (AV) automatic speech recognition systems. The …

In this work, normalization techniques in the acoustic feature space are studied which
improve the robustness of automatic speech recognition systems. It is shown that there is a …

A speech spectrum is known to be changed by the variations in the length of the vocal tract
of a speaker. This is because of the fact that speech formants are inversely related to the …
