This paper proposes a comprehensive study on machine listening for localisation of snore sound excitation. Here we investigate the effects of varied frame sizes, and overlap of the analysed audio chunk for extracting low-level descriptors.

An automated method for detecting F measurement jumps based on sample-to-sample differences [PDF]
An algorithm for detecting sudden jumps in measured F0, which are likely to be inaccurate measures, is introduced. The method computes sample-to-sample differences in F0 and, based on a user-defined threshold, determines whether a difference is larger ...

Iterative adaptive frequency-domain equalization based on sliding window strategy over time-varying underwater acoustic channels [PDF]
This letter provides a novel iterative adaptive frequency-domain equalization for time-varying underwater acoustic (UWA) channels. The proposed scheme adopts a modified frequency-domain block least mean square algorithm to update the filter weights.

Multiplane deconvolution in underwater acoustics: Simultaneous estimations of source level and position [PDF]
In many acoustic imaging applications, conventional beamforming (CBF) cannot provide both accurate position and source level estimates simultaneously.

Fuzzy clustering as a tool to differentiate between discrete and graded call types [PDF]
Animals may communicate potential information to conspecifics using stereotyped “discrete” calls and variable “graded” calls. However, animal vocal research often centers on identifying the number of call types in a repertoire rather than quantifying the

Intelligibility of chimeric locally time-reversed speech: Relative contribution of four frequency bands [PDF]
Intelligibility of four-band speech stimuli was investigated (n = 18), such that only one of the frequency bands was preserved, whereas other bands were locally time-reversed (segment duration: 75–300 ms), or vice versa. Intelligibility was best retained

Speech Reception Thresholds for Polish Language Word and Sentence Tests Presented in Noise
The aim of the study was to determine the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the Speech Reception Threshold (SRT) for young persons with normal hearing. The following three tests available for Polish language were used: the New Articulation Lists (NAL-93 ...

Effects of perceptual abilities and lexical knowledge on the phonetic categorization of second language speech [PDF]
This study examined how phonetic categorization in a second language (L2) is jointly affected by perceptual abilities and lexical knowledge. Adult L1 Mandarin Chinese and L1 English-L2 Mandarin learners performed a phonetic categorization task.
