The task of estimating the fundamental frequency of a monophonic sound recording, also
known as pitch tracking, is fundamental to audio processing with multiple applications in …

A vocoder-based speech synthesis system, named WORLD, was developed in an effort to
improve the sound quality of real-time applications using speech. Speech analysis …

Denoising diffusion probabilistic models have been recently proposed to generate high-
quality samples by estimating the gradient of the data density. The framework defines the …

The analysis of musical signals to extract audio descriptors that can potentially characterize
their timbre has been disparate and often too focused on a particular small set of sounds …

In this paper we present an algorithm that produces pitch and probability-of-voicing
estimates for use as features in automatic speech recognition systems. These features give …

Music signal processing may appear to be the junior relation of the large and mature field of
speech signal processing, not least because many techniques and representations …

The principles underlying functional asymmetries in cortex remain debated. For example, it
is accepted that speech is processed bilaterally in auditory cortex, but a left hemisphere …

We propose a model to estimate the fundamental frequency in monophonic audio, often
referred to as pitch estimation. We acknowledge the fact that obtaining ground truth …

ABSTRACT Background and Objective In smoking cessation clinical research and practice,
objective validation of self-reported smoking status is crucial for ensuring the reliability of the …

Speech production can be regarded as a process where a time-varying vocal tract system
(filter) is excited by a time-varying excitation. In addition to its linguistic message, the speech …
