This paper presents three different methods for developing multilingual phone models for
flexible speech recognition tasks. The main goal of our investigations is to find multilingual …

Automatic spoken Language Identi¯ cation (LID) is the process of identifying the language
spoken within an utterance. The challenge that this task presents is that no prior information …

This paper studies the structure of foreign-accented read English speech. A system for
accent identification is constructed by combining linguistic theory with statistical analysis …

The research field of Music Information Retrieval is concerned with the automatic analysis of
musical characteristics. One aspect that has not received much attention so far is the …

This paper addresses the problem of multilingual acoustic modelling for the design of
multilingual speech recognisers. An agglomerative clustering algorithm for the definition of …

Abstract Language Identification (LID) of speech can be split into two processes; phone
recognition and language modelling. This two stage approach underlies some of the most …

In the past decades, many successful approaches for language identification have been
published. However, almost none of these approaches were developed with singing in …

In this article, we describe an approach for automatic multi-lingual phoneme classification.
The classes were obtained by agglomerative hierarchical clustering. We used a similarity …

Whilst several examples of segment based approaches to language identification (LID) have
been published, they have been typically conducted using only a small number of …
