A deep learning based segregation algorithm to increase speech intelligibility for hearing-impaired listeners in reverberant-noisy conditions.

open access: yesJournal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2018
Recently, deep learning based speech segregation has been shown to improve human speech intelligibility in noisy environments. However, one important factor not yet considered is room reverberation, which characterizes typical daily environments.

Monaural Speech Enhancement Using Deep Neural Networks by Maximizing a Short-Time Objective Intelligibility Measure [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2018
In this paper we propose a Deep Neural Network (D NN) based Speech Enhancement (SE) system that is designed to maximize an approximation of the Short-Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI) measure. We formalize an approximate-STOI cost function and derive

Non-intrusive intelligibility prediction for Mandarin speech in noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Most existing intelligibility indices require access to the input (clean) reference signal to predict speech intelligibility in noise. In some real-world applications, however, only the noise-masked speech is available, rendering existing indices of ...

Church acoustics and the influence of occupancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Speech intelligibility is usually evaluated, by the use of objective parameters, in unoccupiedrooms due to practical considerations. However, under normal conditions, the roomoccupancy can increase or decrease the values of speech intelligibility by the ...

Speech and Language Disorders Associated With 7q31 Deletions Implicating FOXP2

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some 7q31 deletions encompass FOXP2, a gene long associated with speech and language disorders. Intragenic pathogenic FOXP2 variants cause FOXP2‐related speech and language disorder, which has been well characterized in the literature. Conversely, the phenotype associated with 7q31 deletions is neglected.

Speech intelligibility in virtual restaurants [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
Speech reception thresholds (SRTs) for a target voice on the same virtual table were measured in various restaurant simulations under conditions of masking by between one and eight interferers at other tables. Results for different levels of reverberation and different simulation techniques were qualitatively similar.

An instrumental intelligibility metric based on information theory

open access: yes, 2018
We propose a monaural intrusive instrumental intelligibility metric called speech intelligibility in bits (SIIB). SIIB is an estimate of the amount of information shared between a talker and a listener in bits per second.

Speech recognition in noise with active and passive hearing protectors: a comparative study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The perceived negative influence of standard hearing protectors on communication is a common argument for not wearing them. Thus, augmented protectors have been developed to improve speech intelligibility.

Assessment of Speech Intelligibility in Parkinson’s Disease Using a Speech-To-Text System

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2017
Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) may have difficulties in speaking because of reduced coordination of the muscles that control breathing, phonation, articulation, and prosody.
