  text: In this paper we present a system for car navigation by fusing sensor data
    on an Android smartphone. The key idea is to use both the internal sensors of
    the smartphone (e.g., gyroscope) and sensor data from the car (e.g., speed information)
    to support navigation via GPS. To this end we employ a CAN-Bus-to-Bluetooth adapter
    to establish a wireless connection between the smartphone and the CAN-Bus of the
    car. On the smartphone a strapdown algorithm and an error-state Kalman filter
    are used to fuse the different sensor data streams. The experimental results show
    that the system is able to maintain higher positioning accuracy during GPS dropouts,
    thus improving the availability and reliability, compared to GPS-only solutions.

  text: In this contribution classification rules for HMM-based speech recognition
    in the presence of a mismatch between training and test data are presented. The
    observed feature vectors are regarded as corrupted versions of underlying and
    unobservable clean feature vectors, which have the same statistics as the training
    data. Optimal classification then consists of two steps. First, the posterior
    density of the clean feature vector, given the observed feature vectors, has to
    be determined, and second, this posterior is employed in a modified classification
    rule, which accounts for imperfect estimates. We discuss different variants of
    the classification rule and further elaborate on the estimation of the clean speech
    feature posterior, using conditional Bayesian estimation. It is shown that this
    concept is fairly general and can be applied to different scenarios, such as noisy
    or reverberant speech recognition.

  text: Employing automatic speech recognition systems in hands-free communication
    applications is accompanied by perfomance degradation due to background noise
    and, in particular, due to reverberation. These two kinds of distortion alter
    the shape of the feature vector trajectory extracted from the microphone signal
    and consequently lead to a discrepancy between training and testing conditions
    for the recognizer. In this chapter we present a feature enhancement approach
    aiming at the joint compensation of noise and reverberation to improve the performance
    by restoring the training conditions. For the enhancement we concentrate on the
    logarithmic mel power spectral coefficients as features, which are computed at
    an intermediate stage to obtain the widely used mel frequency cepstral coefficients.
    The proposed technique is based on a Bayesian framework, to attempt to infer the
    posterior distribution of the clean features given the observation of all past
    corrupted features. It exploits information from a priori models describing the
    dynamics of clean speech and noise-only feature vector trajectories as well as
    from an observation model relating the reverberant noisy to the clean features.
    The observation model relies on a simplified stochastic model of the room impulse
    response (RIR) between the speaker and the microphone, having only two parameters,
    namely RIR energy and reverberation time, which can be estimated from the captured
    microphone signal. The performance of the proposed enhancement technique is finally
    experimentally studied by means of recognition accuracy obtained for a connected
    digits recognition task under different noise and reverberation conditions using
    the Aurora~5 database.

  text: The paper proposes a modification of the standard maximum a posteriori (MAP)
    method for the estimation of the parameters of a Gaussian process for cases where
    the process is superposed by additive Gaussian observation errors of known variance.
    Simulations on artificially generated data demonstrate the superiority of the
    proposed method. While reducing to the ordinary MAP approach in the absence of
    observation noise, the improvement becomes the more pronounced the larger the
    variance of the observation noise. The method is further extended to track the
    parameters in case of non-stationary Gaussian processes.

  text: In this paper, we present a novel blocking matrix and fixed beamformer design
    for a generalized sidelobe canceler for speech enhancement in a reverberant enclosure.
    They are based on a new method for estimating the acoustical transfer function
    ratios in the presence of stationary noise. The estimation method relies on solving
    a generalized eigenvalue problem in each frequency bin. An adaptive eigenvector
    tracking utilizing the power iteration method is employed and shown to achieve
    a high convergence speed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed beamformer
    leads to better noise and interference reduction and reduced speech distortions
    compared to other blocking matrix designs from the literature.

  text: 'In this contribution, conditional Bayesian estimation employing a phase-sensitive
    observation model for noise robust speech recognition will be studied. After a
    review of speech recognition under the presence of corrupted features, termed
    uncertainty decoding, the estimation of the posterior distribution of the uncorrupted
    (clean) feature vector will be shown to be a key element of noise robust speech
    recognition. The estimation process will be based on three major components: an
    a priori model of the unobservable data, an observation model relating the unobservable
    data to the corrupted observation and an inference algorithm, finally allowing
    for a computationally tractable solution. Special stress will be laid on a detailed
    derivation of the phase-sensitive observation model and the required moments of
    the phase factor distribution. Thereby, it will not only be proven analytically
    that the phase factor distribution is non-Gaussian but also that all central moments
    can (approximately) be computed solely based on the used mel filter bank, finally
    rendering the moments independent of noise type and signal-to-noise ratio. The
    phase-sensitive observation model will then be incorporated into a model-based
    feature enhancement scheme and recognition experiments will be carried out on
    the Aurora~2 and Aurora~4 databases. The importance of incorporating phase factor
    information into the enhancement scheme is pointed out by all recognition results.
    Application of the proposed scheme under the derived uncertainty decoding framework
    further leads to significant improvements in both recognition tasks, eventually
    reaching the performance achieved with the ETSI advanced front-end.'

  text: In this work, a splitting and weighting scheme that allows for splitting a
    Gaussian density into a Gaussian mixture density (GMM) is extended to allow the
    mixture components to be arranged along arbitrary directions. The parameters of
    the Gaussian mixture are chosen such that the GMM and the original Gaussian still
    exhibit equal central moments up to an order of four. The resulting mixtures{\rq}
    covariances will have eigenvalues that are smaller than those of the covariance
    of the original distribution, which is a desirable property in the context of
    non-linear state estimation, since the underlying assumptions of the extended
    K ALMAN filter are better justified in this case. Application to speech feature
    enhancement in the context of noise-robust automatic speech recognition reveals
    the beneficial properties of the proposed approach in terms of a reduced word
    error rate on the Aurora 2 recognition task.

  text: In this paper we address the problem of initial seed selection for frequency
    domain iterative blind speech separation (BSS) algorithms. The derivation of the
    seeding algorithm is guided by the goal to select samples which are likely to
    be caused by source activity and not by noise and at the same time originate from
    different sources. The proposed algorithm has moderate computational complexity
    and finds better seed values than alternative schemes, as is demonstrated by experiments
    on the database of the SiSEC2010 challenge.

  text: In this paper we propose to jointly consider Segmental Dynamic Time Warping
    and distance clustering for the unsupervised learning of acoustic events. As a
    result, the computational complexity increases only linearly with the dababase
    size compared to a quadratic increase in a sequential setup, where all pairwise
    SDTW distances between segments are computed prior to clustering. Further, we
    discuss options for seed value selection for clustering and show that drawing
    seeds with a probability proportional to the distance from the already drawn seeds,
    known as K-means++ clustering, results in a significantly higher probability of
    finding representatives of each of the underlying classes, compared to the commonly
    used draws from a uniform distribution. Experiments are performed on an acoustic
    event classification and an isolated digit recognition task, where on the latter
    the final word accuracy approaches that of supervised training.

  text: In this paper we propose a procedure for estimating the geometric configuration
    of an arbitrary acoustic sensor placement. It determines the position and the
    orientation of microphone arrays in 2D while locating a source by direction-of-arrival
    (DoA) estimation. Neither artificial calibration signals nor unnatural user activity
    are required. The problem of scale indeterminacy inherent to DoA-only observations
    is solved by adding time difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements. The geometry
    calibration method is numerically stable and delivers precise results in moderately
    reverberated rooms. Simulation results are confirmed by laboratory experiments.

  text: In this paper we present our experimental results about classifying audio
    data into broad acoustic categories. The reverberated sound samples from indoor
    recordings are grouped into four classes, namely speech, music, acoustic events
    and noise. We investigated a total of 188 acoustic features and achieved for the
    best configuration a classification accuracy better than 98\%. This was achieved
    by a 42-dimensional feature vector consisting of Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients,
    an autocorrelation feature and so-called track features that measure the length
    of ''traces'' of high energy in the spectrogram. We also found a 4-feature configuration
    with a classification rate of about 90\% allowing for broad acoustic category
    classification with low computational effort.

  text: In this paper we present a robust location estimation algorithm especially
    focused on the accuracy in vertical position. A loosely-coupled error state space
    Kalman filter, which fuses sensor data of an Inertial Measurement Unit and the
    output of a Global Positioning System device, is augmented by height information
    from an altitude measurement unit. This unit consists of a barometric altimeter
    whose output is fused with topographic map information by a Kalman filter to provide
    robust information about the current vertical user position. These data replace
    the less reliable vertical position information provided the GPS device. It is
    shown that typical barometric errors like thermal divergences and fluctuations
    in the pressure due to changing weather conditions can be compensated by the topographic
    map information and the barometric error Kalman filter. The resulting height information
    is shown not only to be more reliable than height information provided by GPS.
    It also turns out that it leads to better attitude and thus better overall localization
    estimation accuracy due to the coupling of spatial orientations via the Direct
    Cosine Matrix. Results are presented both for artificially generated and field
    test data, where the user is moving by car.

  text: In this paper, we present a new technique for automatic speech recognition
    (ASR) in reverberant environments. Our approach is aimed at the enhancement of
    the logarithmic Mel power spectrum, which is computed at an intermediate stage
    to obtain the widely used Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). Given the
    reverberant logarithmic Mel power spectral coefficients (LMPSCs), a minimum mean
    square error estimate of the clean LMPSCs is computed by carrying out Bayesian
    inference. We employ switching linear dynamical models as an a priori model for
    the dynamics of the clean LMPSCs. Further, we derive a stochastic observation
    model which relates the clean to the reverberant LMPSCs through a simplified model
    of the room impulse response (RIR). This model requires only two parameters, namely
    RIR energy and reverberation time, which can be estimated from the captured microphone
    signal. The performance of the proposed enhancement technique is studied on the
    AURORA5 database and compared to that of constrained maximum-likelihood linear
    regression (CMLLR). It is shown by experimental results that our approach significantly
    outperforms CMLLR and that up to 80\% of the errors caused by the reverberation
    are recovered. In addition to the fact that the approach is compatible with the
    standard MFCC feature vectors, it leaves the ASR back-end unchanged. It is of
    moderate computational complexity and suitable for real time applications.

  text: Traditionally, ASR systems are based on hidden Markov models with Gaussian
    mixtures modelling the state-conditioned feature distribution. The inherent assumption
    of conditional independence, stating that a feature's likelihood solely depends
    on the current HMM state, makes the search computationally tractable, nevertheless
    has also been identified to be a major reason for the lack of robustness of such
    systems. Linear dynamic models have been proposed to overcome this weakness by
    employing a hidden dynamic state process underlying the observed features. Though
    performance of linear dynamic models on continuous speech/phone recognition tasks
    has been shown to be superior to that of equivalent static models, this approach
    still cannot compete with the established acoustic models. In this paper we consider
    the combination of hidden Markov models based on Gaussian mixture densities (GMM-HMMs)
    and linear dynamic models (LDMs) as the acoustic model for automatic speech recognition
    systems. In doing so, the individual strengths of both models, i.e. the modelling
    of long-term temporal dependencies by the GMM-HMM and the direct modelling of
    statistical dependencies between consecutive feature vectors by the LDM, are exploited.
    Phone classification experiments conducted on the TIMIT database indicate the
    prospective use of this approach for the application to continuous speech recognition.

  text: Linear dynamic models (LDMs) have been shown to be a viable alternative to
    hidden Markov models (HMMs) on small-vocabulary recognition tasks, such as phone
    classification. In this paper we investigate various statistical model combination
    approaches for a hybrid HMM-LDM recognizer, resulting in a phone classification
    performance that outperforms the best individual classifier. Further, we report
    on continuous speech recognition experiments on the AURORA4 corpus, where the
    model combination is carried out on wordgraph rescoring. While the hybrid system
    improves the HMM system in the case of monophone HMMs, the performance of the
    triphone HMM model could not be improved by monophone LDMs, asking for the need
    to introduce context-dependency also in the LDM model inventory.

  text: We describe an algorithm that performs regularized non-negative matrix factorization
    (NMF) to find independent components in non-negative data. Previous techniques
    proposed for this purpose require the data to be grounded, with support that goes
    down to 0 along each dimension. In our work, this requirement is eliminated. Based
    on it, we present a technique to find a low-dimensional decomposition of spectrograms
    by casting it as a problem of discovering independent non-negative components
    from it. The algorithm itself is implemented as regularized non-negative matrix
    factorization (NMF). Unlike other ICA algorithms, this algorithm computes the
    mixing matrix rather than an unmixing matrix. This algorithm provides a better
    decomposition than standard NMF when the underlying sources are independent. It
    makes better use of additional observation streams than previous non-negative
    ICA algorithms.
