Speaker similarity evaluation of foreign-accented speech synthesis using HMM-based speaker adaptation [PDF]

, 2011
This paper describes a speaker discrimination experiment in which native English listeners were presented with natural and synthetic speech stimuli in English and were asked to judge whether they thought the sentences were spoken by the same person or ...

Pitch Correlogram Clustering for Fast Speaker Identification

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2004
Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) are commonly used in text-independent speaker identification systems. However, for large speaker databases, their high computational run-time limits their use in online or real-time speaker identification situations.

A Robust Speaker Identification System Using the Responses from a Model of the Auditory Periphery. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Speaker identification under noisy conditions is one of the challenging topics in the field of speech processing applications. Motivated by the fact that the neural responses are robust against noise, this paper proposes a new speaker identification ...

Efficient Invariant Features for Sensor Variability Compensation in Speaker Recognition [PDF]

, 2014
In this paper, we investigate the use of invariant features for speaker recognition. Owing to their characteristics, these features are introduced to cope with the difficult and challenging problem of sensor variability and the source of performance ...

Neuropsychological and Educational Outcomes in Shwachman–Diamond Syndrome—A Report From the North American Shwachman–Diamond Syndrome Registry

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Shwachman–Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive ribosomopathy characterized by bone marrow failure and multisystem involvement, with emerging evidence of associated neurocognitive impairment. Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 240 individuals with biallelic Shwachman–Bodian–Diamond syndrome (SBDS) mutations

Referral Practices and Utilisation of Paediatric Oncology Physiotherapy Services in Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Physical rehabilitation is highly recognised in improving the quality of life of cancer survivors through prehabilitation, sequelae management and palliative care, yet its integration into routine care in Ghana has not been characterised, leading to potential gaps in service access.

Biologically inspired speaker verification [PDF]

, 2012
Speaker verification is an active research problem that has been addressed using a variety of different classification techniques. However, in general, methods inspired by the human auditory system tend to show better verification performance than other ...
