  text: The accuracy of automatic speech recognition systems in noisy and reverberant
    environments can be improved notably by exploiting the uncertainty of the estimated
    speech features using so-called uncertainty-of-observation techniques. In this
    paper, we introduce a new Bayesian decision rule that can serve as a mathematical
    framework from which both known and new uncertainty-of-observation techniques
    can be either derived or approximated. The new decision rule in its direct form
    leads to the new significance decoding approach for Gaussian mixture models, which
    results in better performance compared to standard uncertainty-of-observation
    techniques in different additive and convolutive noise scenarios.

  text: In this contribution we derive the Maximum A-Posteriori (MAP) estimates of
    the parameters of a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) in the presence of noisy observations.
    We assume the distortion to be white Gaussian noise of known mean and variance.
    An approximate conjugate prior of the GMM parameters is derived allowing for a
    computationally efficient implementation in a sequential estimation framework.
    Simulations on artificially generated data demonstrate the superiority of the
    proposed method compared to the Maximum Likelihood technique and to the ordinary
    MAP approach, whose estimates are corrected by the known statistics of the distortion
    in a straightforward manner.

  text: In this paper we present an improved version of the recently proposed Maximum
    A-Posteriori (MAP) based noise power spectral density estimator. An empirical
    bias compensation and bandwidth adjustment reduce bias and variance of the noise
    variance estimates. The main advantage of the MAP-based postprocessor is its low
    estimation variance. The estimator is employed in the second stage of a two-stage
    single-channel speech enhancement system, where eight different state-of-the-art
    noise tracking algorithms were tested in the first stage. While the postprocessor
    hardly affects the results in stationary noise scenarios, it becomes the more
    effective the more nonstationary the noise is. The proposed postprocessor was
    able to improve all systems in babble noise w.r.t. the perceptual evaluation of
    speech quality performance.

  text: Among the different configurations of multi-microphone systems, e.g., in applications
    of speech dereverberation or denoising, we consider the case without a priori
    information of the microphone-array geometry. This naturally invokes explicit
    or implicit identification of source-receiver transfer functions as an indirect
    description of the microphone-array configuration. However, this blind channel
    identification (BCI) has been difficult due to the lack of unique identifiability
    in the presence of observation noise or near-common channel zeros. In this paper,
    we study the implicit BCI performance of blind signal enhancement techniques such
    as the adaptive principal component analysis (PCA) or the iterative blind equalization
    and channel identification (BENCH). To this end, we make use of a recently proposed
    metric, the normalized filter-projection misalignment (NFPM), which is tailored
    for BCI evaluation in ill-conditioned (e.g., noisy) scenarios. The resulting understanding
    of implicit BCI performance can help to judge the behavior of multi-microphone
    speech enhancement systems and the suitability of implicit BCI to serve channel-based
    (i.e., channel-informed) enhancement.

  text: In this paper, we consider the Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation of the parameters
    of a GAUSSIAN in the presence of censored, i.e., clipped data. We show that the
    resulting Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm delivers virtually biasfree
    and efficient estimates, and we discuss its convergence properties. We also discuss
    optimal classification in the presence of censored data. Censored data are frequently
    encountered in wireless LAN positioning systems based on the fingerprinting method
    employing signal strength measurements, due to the limited sensitivity of the
    portable devices. Experiments both on simulated and real-world data demonstrate
    the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

  text: Recently, substantial progress has been made in the field of reverberant speech
    signal processing, including both single- and multichannel de-reverberation techniques,
    and automatic speech recognition (ASR) techniques robust to reverberation. To
    evaluate state-of-the-art algorithms and obtain new insights regarding potential
    future research directions, we propose a common evaluation framework including
    datasets, tasks, and evaluation metrics for both speech enhancement and ASR techniques.
    The proposed framework will be used as a common basis for the REVERB (REverberant
    Voice Enhancement and Recognition Benchmark) challenge. This paper describes the
    rationale behind the challenge, and provides a detailed description of the evaluation
    framework and benchmark results.

  text: In this contribution we extend a previously proposed Bayesian approach for
    the enhancement of reverberant logarithmic mel power spectral coefficients for
    robust automatic speech recognition to the additional compensation of background
    noise. A recently proposed observation model is employed whose time-variant observation
    error statistics are obtained as a side product of the inference of the a posteriori
    probability density function of the clean speech feature vectors. Further a reduction
    of the computational effort and the memory requirements are achieved by using
    a recursive formulation of the observation model. The performance of the proposed
    algorithms is first experimentally studied on a connected digits recognition task
    with artificially created noisy reverberant data. It is shown that the use of
    the time-variant observation error model leads to a significant error rate reduction
    at low signal-to-noise ratios compared to a time-invariant model. Further experiments
    were conducted on a 5000 word task recorded in a reverberant and noisy environment.
    A significant word error rate reduction was obtained demonstrating the effectiveness
    of the approach on real-world data.

  text: 'We present a novel method to exploit correlations of adjacent time-frequency
    (TF)-slots for a sparseness-based blind speech separation (BSS) system. Usually,
    these correlations are exploited by some heuristic smoothing techniques in the
    post-processing of the estimated soft TF masks. We propose a different approach:
    Based on our previous work with one-dimensional (1D)-hidden Markov models (HMMs)
    along the time axis we extend the modeling to two-dimensional (2D)-HMMs to exploit
    both temporal and spectral correlations in the speech signal. Based on the principles
    of turbo decoding we solved the complex inference of 2D-HMMs by a modified forward-backward
    algorithm which operates alternatingly along the time and the frequency axis.
    Extrinsic information is exchanged between these steps such that increasingly
    better soft time-frequency masks are obtained, leading to improved speech separation
    performance in highly reverberant recording conditions.'

  text: In this paper we present a speech presence probability (SPP) estimation algorithmwhich
    exploits both temporal and spectral correlations of speech. To this end, the SPP
    estimation is formulated as the posterior probability estimation of the states
    of a two-dimensional (2D) Hidden Markov Model (HMM). We derive an iterative algorithm
    to decode the 2D-HMM which is based on the turbo principle. The experimental results
    show that indeed the SPP estimates improve from iteration to iteration, and further
    clearly outperform another state-of-the-art SPP estimation algorithm.

  text: In this paper we consider the unsupervised word discovery from phonetic input.
    We employ a word segmentation algorithm which simultaneously develops a lexicon,
    i.e., the transcription of a word in terms of a phone sequence, learns a n-gram
    language model describing word and word sequence probabilities, and carries out
    the segmentation itself. The underlying statistical model is that of a Pitman-Yor
    process, a concept known from Bayesian non-parametrics, which allows for an a
    priori unknown and unlimited number of different words. Using a hierarchy of Pitman-Yor
    processes, language models of different order can be employed and nesting it with
    another hierarchy of Pitman-Yor processes on the phone level allows for backing
    off unknown word unigrams by phone m-grams. We present results on a large-vocabulary
    task, assuming an error-free phone sequence is given. We finish by discussing
    options how to cope with noisy phone sequences.

  text: In this paper we present a novel initialization method for unsupervised learning
    of acoustic patterns in recordings of continuous speech. The pattern discovery
    task is solved by dynamic time warping whose performance we improve by a smart
    starting point selection. This enables a more accurate discovery of patterns compared
    to conventional approaches. After graph-based clustering the patterns are employed
    for training hidden Markov models for an unsupervised speech acquisition. By iterating
    between model training and decoding in an EM-like framework the word accuracy
    is continuously improved. On the TIDIGITS corpus we achieve a word error rate
    of about 13 percent by the proposed unsupervised pattern discovery approach, which
    neither assumes knowledge of the acoustic units nor of the labels of the training
    data.

  text: In this paper we propose an approach to retrieve the absolute geometry of
    an acoustic sensor network, consisting of spatially distributed microphone arrays,
    from reverberant speech input. The calibration relies on direction of arrival
    measurements of the individual arrays. The proposed calibration algorithm is derived
    from a maximum-likelihood approach employing circular statistics. Since a sensor
    node consists of a microphone array with known intra-array geometry, we are able
    to obtain an absolute geometry estimate, including angles and distances. Simulation
    results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.

  text: In this paper we present a combined hardware/software approach for synchronizing
    the sampling clocks of an acoustic sensor network. A first clock frequency offset
    estimate is obtained by a time stamp exchange protocol with a low data rate and
    computational requirements. The estimate is then postprocessed by a Kalman filter
    which exploits the specific properties of the statistics of the frequency offset
    estimation error. In long term experiments the deviation between the sampling
    oscillators of two sensor nodes never exceeded half a sample with a wired and
    with a wireless link between the nodes. The achieved precision enables the estimation
    of time difference of arrival values across different hardware devices without
    sharing a common sampling hardware.

  text: In this paper we present a system for indoor navigation based on received
    signal strength index information of Wireless-LAN access points and relative position
    estimates. The relative position information is gathered from inertial smartphone
    sensors using a step detection and an orientation estimate. Our map data is hosted
    on a server employing a map renderer and a SQL database. The database includes
    a complete multilevel office building, within which the user can navigate. During
    navigation, the client retrieves the position estimate from the server, together
    with the corresponding map tiles to visualize the user's position on the smartphone
    display.

  text: In this paper we present a modified hidden Markov model (HMM) for the fusion
    of received signal strength index (RSSI) information of WiFi access points and
    relative position information which is obtained from the inertial sensors of a
    smartphone for indoor positioning. Since the states of the HMM represent the potential
    user locations, their number determines the quantization error introduced by discretizing
    the allowable user positions through the use of the HMM. To reduce this quantization
    error we introduce â??pseudoâ?? states, whose emission probability, which models
    the RSSI measurements at this location, is synthesized from those of the neighboring
    states of which a Gaussian emission probability has been estimated during the
    training phase. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of this
    approach. By introducing on average two pseudo states per original HMM state the
    positioning error could be significantly reduced without increasing the training
    effort.

- lang: eng
  text: In this paper we present a novel noise power spectral density tracking algorithm
    and its use in single-channel speech enhancement. It has the unique feature that
    it is able to track the noise statistics even if speech is dominant in a given
    time-frequency bin. As a consequence it can follow non-stationary noise superposed
    by speech, even in the critical case of rising noise power. The algorithm requires
    an initial estimate of the power spectrum of speech and is thus meant to be used
    as a postprocessor to a first speech enhancement stage. An experimental comparison
    with a state-of-the-art noise tracking algorithm demonstrates lower estimation
    errors under low SNR conditions and smaller fluctuations of the estimated values,
    resulting in improved speech quality as measured by PESQ scores.
