Speech representation and speech understanding [PDF]

Proceedings of the workshop on Speech and Natural Language - HLT '90, 1990
The core objective of the research is to encode speech into segments which retain necessary information for accurate continuous speech recognition, but are more efficient to deal with than the usual encoding of short frames of speech. We use a multi-stage decision-tree encoder with linear combinations of features at the decision nodes; the result is ...

End-to-End Optimization of Source Models for Speech and Audio Coding Using a Machine Learning Framework

, 2019
Speech coding is the most commonly used application of speech processing. Accumulated layers of improvements have however made codecs so complex that optimization of individual modules becomes increasingly difficult. This work introduces machine learning

Incremental adaptation of speech-to-speech translation [PDF]

Proceedings of Human Language Technologies: The 2009 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Companion Volume: Short Papers on - NAACL '09, 2009
In building practical two-way speech-to-speech translation systems the end user will always wish to use the system in an environment different from the original training data. As with all speech systems, it is important to allow the system to adapt to the actual usage situations.

Super-Wideband Spectral Envelope Modeling for Speech Coding

, 2019
Significant improvements in the quality of speech coders have been achieved by widening the coded frequency range from narrowband to wideband. However, existing speech coders still employ a limited band source-filter model extended by parametric coding ...
