Speech Recognition with No Speech or with Noisy Speech [PDF]

ICASSP 2019 - 2019 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2019
The performance of automatic speech recognition systems(ASR) degrades in the presence of noisy speech. This paper demonstrates that using electroencephalography (EEG) can help automatic speech recognition systems overcome performance loss in the presence of noise.

Advancing Speech Recognition With No Speech Or With Noisy Speech [PDF]

2019 27th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO), 2019
In this paper we demonstrate end-to-end continuous speech recognition (CSR) using electroencephalography (EEG) signals with no speech signal as input. An attention model based automatic speech recognition (ASR) and connectionist temporal classification (CTC) based ASR systems were implemented for performing recognition.

Speech-to-Text and Speech-to-Speech Summarization of Spontaneous Speech

IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing, 2004
This paper presents techniques for speech-to-text and speech-to-speech automatic summarization based on speech unit extraction and concatenation. For the former case, a two-stage summarization method consisting of important sentence extraction and word-based sentence compaction is investigated. Sentence and word units which maximize the weighted sum of

Aging and Speech-on-Speech Masking

Ear & Hearing, 2008
A common complaint of many older adults is difficulty communicating in situations where they must focus on one talker in the presence of other people speaking. In listening environments containing multiple talkers, age-related changes may be caused by increased sensitivity to energetic masking, increased susceptibility to informational masking (e.g ...

Speech Enhancement of Noisy and Reverberant Speech for Text-to-Speech [PDF]

IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, 2018
Text-to-speech voices created from noisy and reverberant recordings are of lower quality. A simple way to improve this is to increase the quality of the recordings prior to text-to-speech training with speech enhancement methods such as noise suppression and dereverberation.
