Effect of speech rate on speech-on-speech masking
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008Target speech can be better recognized under speech-on-speech masking conditions if certain differences between target and masker (e.g. in loudness, pitch, location) can be used as cues for streaming. This study examined whether the speech rate can be used by listeners as a cue for unmasking target speech. The rate difference between target and masking

Speech recognition based on speech units
European Conference on Speech Technology, 1987In a classical quantization system, each vector is represented by the nearest centroid; two vectors belonging to the same class are then indistinguishable. In order to mitigate this situation, we take into account the two nearest neighbours and define a “belonging degree” calculated from the distances between the vector and the two centroids.
