Speaker verification using whispered speech
Like neutral speech, whispered speech is one of the natural modes of speech production, and it is often used by speakers in their day-to-day life. For some people, such as laryngectomees, whispered speech is the only ... -
Spectral And Temporal Zero-Crossings-Based Signal Analysis
(2017-09-20)We consider real zero-crossing analysis of the real/imaginary parts of the spectrum, namely, spectral zero-crossings (SZCs). The two major contributions are to show that: (i) SZCs provide enable temporal localization of ... -
Spectrotemporal Processing of Speech Signals Using the Riesz Transform
Speech signals possess a rich time-varying spectral content, which makes their analysis a challenging signal processing problem. Developing methods for accurate speech analysis has a direct impact on applications such as ... -
Speech and noise analysis using sparse representation and acoustic-phonetics knowledge
This thesis addresses different aspects of machine listening using two different approaches, namely (1) A supervised and adaptive sparse representation based approach for identifying the type of background noise and the ... -
Speech enhancement using deep mixture of experts
Speech enhancement is at the heart of many applications such as speech com- munication, automatic speech recognition, hearing aids etc. In this work, we consider the speech enhancement under the framework of multiple ... -
Speech task-specific representation learning using acoustic-articulatory data
Human speech production involves modulation of the air stream by the vocal tract shape determined by the articulatory configuration. Articulatory gestures are often used to represent the speech units. It has been shown ... -
Stable Galerkin Finite Element Formulation for the Simulation of Electromagnetic Flowmeter
(2018-02-07)Electromagnetic flow meters are simple, rugged, non-invasive flow measuring instruments, which are extensively employed in many applications. In particular, they are ideally suited for the flow rate measurement of liquid ... -
Stationary diesel exhaust treatment by blending discharge plasma/ozone with industry wastes: a study on abatement of NOx and THC
Increased usage of fossil fuels, especially diesel, has made a large impact on the environment in the form of rise in global temperature, increased acidity in the rain water, decreased yield in vegetation and numerous ... -
