1. 1. Probabilistic Modelling of Hearing : Speech Recognition and Optimal Audiometry

   Författare :Svante Stadler; Arne Leijon; Stefan Stenfelt; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :auditory models; probabilistic modelling; speech modelling; human speech recognition; hearing aids; cochlear implants; psychoacoustics; diagnostic methods; optimal experiments; audiometry;

   Sammanfattning : Hearing loss afflicts as many as 10\% of our population.Fortunately, technologies designed to alleviate the effects ofhearing loss are improving rapidly, including cochlear implantsand the increasing computing power of digital hearing aids. Thisthesis focuses on theoretically sound methods for improvinghearing aid technology. LÄS MER

3. 2. Mining Speech Sounds : Machine Learning Methods for Automatic Speech Recognition and Analysis

   Författare :Giampiero Salvi; Björn Granström; Torbjørn Svendsen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; speech; machine learning; data mining; signal processing; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis collects studies on machine learning methods applied to speech technology and speech research problems. The six research papers included in this thesis are organised in three main areas. The first group of studies were carried out within the European project Synface. LÄS MER

4. 3. Lexical and Acoustic Modelling of Swedish Prosody

   Författare :Johan Frid; Fonetik; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; phonology; Phonetics; stress; dialects; Swedish; word accents; letter-to-sound; text-to-speech; modelling; intonation; prosody; speech technology; Fonetik; fonologi; Scandinavian languages and literature; Nordiska språk språk och litteratur ;

   Sammanfattning : Prosody and intonation are very important ingredients of human speech. In speech technology, text-to-speech (TTS) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems must incorporate prosodic models in order to reach acceptable performances. LÄS MER

5. 4. Information state based speech recognition

   Författare :Rebecca Jonson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; dialogue systems; speech recognition; language modelling; dialogue move; dialogue context; ASR; higher level knowledge; linguistic knowledge; N-Best re-ranking; confidence scoring; confidence annotation; information state; ISU approach;

   Sammanfattning : One of the pitfalls in spoken dialogue systems is the brittleness of automatic speech recognition (ASR). ASR systems often misrecognize user input and they are unreliable when it comes to judging their own performance. LÄS MER

7. 5. Probabilistic Sequence Models with Speech and Language Applications

   Författare :Gustav Eje Henter; W. Bastiaan Kleijn; Arne Leijon; Gernot Kubin; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Time series; acoustic modelling; speech synthesis; stochastic processes; causal-state splitting reconstruction; robust causal states; pattern discovery; Markov models; HMMs; nonparametric models; Gaussian processes; Gaussian process dynamical models; nonlinear Kalman filters; information theory; minimum entropy rate simplification; kernel density estimation; time-series bootstrap;

   Sammanfattning : Series data, sequences of measured values, are ubiquitous. Whenever observations are made along a path in space or time, a data sequence results. To comprehend nature and shape it to our will, or to make informed decisions based on what we know, we need methods to make sense of such data. LÄS MER
