Stuttering detection using deep learning

Speaker: Shakeel Ahmad Sheikh Data and place: January 13, 2022, at 10:30 – Videoconference Abstract: Stuttering, also known as stammering, is a neuro-developmental speech disorder during which the flow of speech is interrupted by core behaviors such as involuntary blocks, prolongations, and repetitions. The conventional assessment of stuttering is to count manually the occurrences of stuttering …

Domain adaptation strategies for ambient sound detection and classification

Speaker: Mauricio Michel Olvera zambrano Data and place: November 25, 2021, at 10:30 – Hybrid Abstract: Ambient sound detection and classification systems are highly susceptible to performance degradation when trained and tested on data facing different acoustic conditions. In practical settings, where the source and target domain data are available, but only the source domain data are labeled, we …

Multichannel speech enhancement for speaker verification in noisy and reverberant environments

Speaker: Sandipana Dowerah Data and place: November 4, 2021, at 10:30 – Videoconference Abstract: Speaker verification has recently been deployed in several real-world applications including secured access to bank services via telephone or internet. However, verification based solely on voice remains a modality with limited reliability under real conditions including several acoustic perturbations. Speech signals can be corrupted …

Multimodal coarticulation modeling

Speaker: Théo Biasutto-Lervat Date and place: September 30, 2021, at 10:30 – Videoconference Abstract: This thesis deals with neural network-based coarticulation modeling, and aims to synchronize facial animation of a 3D talking head with speech. Predicting articulatory movements is not a trivial task, as it is well known that the production of a phoneme is greatly …

Matching Pursuit: A greedy Algorithm for Hearing the Shape of a Room

Speaker: Khaoula Chahdi Date and place: September 23, 2021, at 10:30 – Videoconference Abstract: Hearing the shape of a room, or recovering the 3D geometry of a room, is an innate ability in some species, such as bats, dolphins and other animals. For human beings, it is not that instinctive so we need more specific tools …
