  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: 'It has been proposed that the design of robots might benefit from interactions
    that are similar to caregiver–child interactions, which is tailored to children’s
    respective capacities to a high degree. However, so far little is known about
    how people adapt their tutoring behaviour to robots and whether robots can evoke
    input that is similar to child-directed interaction. The paper presents detailed
    analyses of speakers’ linguistic and non-linguistic behaviour, such as action
    demonstration, in two comparable situations: In one experiment, parents described
    and explained to their nonverbal infants the use of certain everyday objects;
    in the other experiment, participants tutored a simulated robot on the same objects.
    The results, which show considerable differences between the two situations on
    almost all measures, are discussed in the light of the computer-as-social-actor
    paradigm and the register hypothesis.'

  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: In this paper we propose to employ directional statistics in a complex vector
    space to approach the problem of blind speech separation in the presence of spatially
    correlated noise. We interpret the values of the short time Fourier transform
    of the microphone signals to be draws from a mixture of complex Watson distributions,
    a probabilistic model which naturally accounts for spatial aliasing. The parameters
    of the density are related to the a priori source probabilities, the power of
    the sources and the transfer function ratios from sources to sensors. Estimation
    formulas are derived for these parameters by employing the Expectation Maximization
    (EM) algorithm. The E-step corresponds to the estimation of the source presence
    probabilities for each time-frequency bin, while the M-step leads to a maximum
    signal-to-noise ratio (MaxSNR) beamformer in the presence of uncertainty about
    the source activity. Experimental results are reported for an implementation in
    a generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) like spatial beamforming configuration
    for 3 speech sources with significant coherent noise in reverberant environments,
    demonstrating the usefulness of the novel modeling framework.

  text: For an environment to be perceived as being smart, contextual information
    has to be gathered to adapt the system's behavior and its interface towards the
    user. Being a rich source of context information speech can be acquired unobtrusively
    by microphone arrays and then processed to extract information about the user
    and his environment. In this paper, a system for joint temporal segmentation,
    speaker localization, and identification is presented, which is supported by face
    identification from video data obtained from a steerable camera. Special attention
    is paid to latency aspects and online processing capabilities, as they are important
    for the application under investigation, namely ambient communication. It describes
    the vision of terminal-less, session-less and multi-modal telecommunication with
    remote partners, where the user can move freely within his home while the communication
    follows him. The speaker diarization serves as a context source, which has been
    integrated in a service-oriented middleware architecture and provided to the application
    to select the most appropriate I/O device and to steer the camera towards the
    speaker during ambient communication.

  text: In automatic speech recognition, hidden Markov models (HMMs) are commonly
    used for speech decoding, while switching linear dynamic models (SLDMs) can be
    employed for a preceding model-based speech feature enhancement. In this paper,
    these model types are combined in order to obtain a novel iterative speech feature
    enhancement and recognition architecture. It is shown that speech feature enhancement
    with SLDMs can be improved by feeding back information from the HMM to the enhancement
    stage. Two different feedback structures are derived. In the first, the posteriors
    of the HMM states are used to control the model probabilities of the SLDMs, while
    in the second they are employed to directly influence the estimate of the speech
    feature distribution. Both approaches lead to improvements in recognition accuracy
    both on the AURORA2 and AURORA4 databases compared to non-iterative speech feature
    enhancement with SLDMs. It is also shown that a combination with uncertainty decoding
    further enhances performance.

  text: In this paper, parameter estimation of a state-space model of noise or noisy
    speech cepstra is investigated. A blockwise EM algorithm is derived for the estimation
    of the state and observation noise covariance from noise-only input data. It is
    supposed to be used during the offline training mode of a speech recognizer. Further
    a sequential online EM algorithm is developed to adapt the observation noise covariance
    on noisy speech cepstra at its input. The estimated parameters are then used in
    model-based speech feature enhancement for noise-robust automatic speech recognition.
    Experiments on the AURORA4 database lead to improved recognition results with
    a linear state model compared to the assumption of stationary noise.

  text: In developmental research, tutoring behavior has been identified as scaffolding
    infants' learning processes. It has been defined in terms of child-directed speech
    (Motherese), child-directed motion (Motionese), and contingency. In the field
    of developmental robotics, research often assumes that in human-robot interaction
    (HRI), robots are treated similar to infants, because their immature cognitive
    capabilities benefit from this behavior. However, according to our knowledge,
    it has barely been studied whether this is true and how exactly humans alter their
    behavior towards a robotic interaction partner. In this paper, we present results
    concerning the acceptance of a robotic agent in a social learning scenario obtained
    via comparison to adults and 8-11 months old infants in equal conditions. These
    results constitute an important empirical basis for making use of tutoring behavior
    in social robotics. In our study, we performed a detailed multimodal analysis
    of HRI in a tutoring situation using the example of a robot simulation equipped
    with a bottom-up saliency-based attention model. Our results reveal significant
    differences in hand movement velocity, motion pauses, range of motion, and eye
    gaze suggesting that for example adults decrease their hand movement velocity
    in an Adult-Child Interaction (ACI), opposed to an Adult-Adult Interaction (AAI)
    and this decrease is even higher in the Adult-Robot Interaction (ARI). We also
    found important differences between ACI and ARI in how the behavior is modified
    over time as the interaction unfolds. These findings indicate the necessity of
    integrating top-down feedback structures into a bottom-up system for robots to
    be fully accepted as interaction partners.

  text: In this paper, we derive an uncertainty decoding rule for automatic speech
    recognition (ASR), which accounts for both corrupted observations and inter-frame
    correlation. The conditional independence assumption, prevalent in hidden Markov
    model-based ASR, is relaxed to obtain a clean speech posterior that is conditioned
    on the complete observed feature vector sequence. This is a more informative posterior
    than one conditioned only on the current observation. The novel decoding is used
    to obtain a transmission-error robust remote ASR system, where the speech capturing
    unit is connected to the decoder via an error-prone communication network. We
    show how the clean speech posterior can be computed for communication links being
    characterized by either bit errors or packet loss. Recognition results are presented
    for both distributed and network speech recognition, where in the latter case
    common voice-over-IP codecs are employed.

  text: The generalized sidelobe canceller by Griffith and Jim is a robust beamforming
    method to enhance a desired (speech) signal in the presence of stationary noise.
    Its performance depends to a high degree on the construction of the blocking matrix
    which produces noise reference signals for the subsequent adaptive interference
    canceller. Especially in reverberated environments the beamformer may suffer from
    signal leakage and reduced noise suppression. In this paper a new blocking matrix
    is proposed. It is based on a generalized eigenvalue problem whose solution provides
    an indirect estimation of the transfer functions from the source to the sensors.
    The quality of the new generalized eigenvector blocking matrix is studied in simulated
    rooms with different reverberation times and is compared to alternatives proposed
    in the literature.

  text: In this paper a switching linear dynamical model (SLDM) approach for speech
    feature enhancement is improved by employing more accurate models for the dynamics
    of speech and noise. The model of the clean speech feature trajectory is improved
    by augmenting the state vector to capture information derived from the delta features.
    Further a hidden noise state variable is introduced to obtain a more elaborated
    model for the noise dynamics. Approximate Bayesian inference in the SLDM is carried
    out by a bank of extended Kalman filters, whose outputs are combined according
    to the a posteriori probability of the individual state models. Experimental results
    on the AURORA2 database show improved recognition accuracy.

  text: This paper investigates the influence of feedback provided by an autonomous
    robot (BIRON) on users’ discursive behavior. A user study is described during
    which users show objects to the robot. The results of the experiment indicate,
    that the robot’s verbal feedback utterances cause the humans to adapt their own
    way of speaking. The changes in users’ verbal behavior are due to their beliefs
    about the robots knowledge and abilities. In this paper they are identified and
    grouped. Moreover, the data implies variations in user behavior regarding gestures.
    Unlike speech, the robot was not able to give feedback with gestures. Due to the
    lack of feedback, users did not seem to have a consistent mental representation
    of the robot’s abilities to recognize gestures. As a result, changes between different
    gestures are interpreted to be unconscious variations accompanying speech.

  text: Soft-feature based speech recognition, which is an example of uncertainty
    decoding, has been proven to be a robust error mitigation method for distributed
    speech recognition over wireless channels exhibiting bit errors. In this paper
    we extend this concept to packet-oriented transmissions. The a posteriori probability
    density function of the lost feature vector, given the closest received neighbours,
    is computed. In the experiments, the nearest frame repetition, which is shown
    to be equivalent to the MAP estimate, outperforms the MMSE estimate for long bursts.
    Taking the variance into account at the speech recognition stage results in superior
    performance compared to classical schemes using point estimates. A computationally
    and memory efficient implementation of the proposed packet loss compensation scheme
    based on table lookup is presented

  text: In this paper, we propose an enhanced error concealment strategy at the server
    side of a distributed speech recognition (DSR) system, which is fully compatible
    with the existing DSR standard. It is based on a Bayesian approach, where the
    a posteriori probability density of the error-free feature vector is computed,
    given all received feature vectors which are possibly corrupted by transmission
    errors. Rather than computing a point estimate, such as the MMSE estimate, and
    plugging it into the Bayesian decision rule, we employ uncertainty decoding, which
    results in an integration over the uncertainty in the feature domain. In a typical
    scenario the communication between the thin client, often a mobile device, and
    the recognition server spreads across heterogeneous networks. Both bit errors
    on circuit-switched links and lost data packets on IP connections are mitigated
    by our approach in a unified manner. The experiments reveal improved robustness
    both for small- and large-vocabulary recognition tasks.

  text: A marginalized particle filter is proposed for performing single channel speech
    enhancement with a non-linear dynamic state model. The system consists of a particle
    filter for tracking line spectral pair (LSP) parameters and a Kalman filter per
    particle for speech enhancement. The state model for the LSPs has been learnt
    on clean speech training data. In our approach parameters and speech samples are
    processed at different time scales by assuming the parameters to be constant for
    small blocks of data. Further enhancement is obtained by an iteration which can
    be applied on these small blocks. The experiments show that similar SNR gains
    are obtained as with the Kalman-LM-iterative algorithm. However better values
    of the noise level and the log-spectral distance are achieved

  text: 'In this paper we present a comparison of the recently proposed Soft-Feature
    Distributed Speech Recognition (SFDSR) with the two evaluated candidate codecs
    for Speech Enabled Services over wireless networks: Adaptive Multirate Codec (AMR)
    and the ETSI Extended Advanced Front-End for Distributed Speech Recognition (XAFE).
    It is shown that SFDSR achieves the best recognition performance on a simulated
    GSM transmission, followed by XAFE and AMR.We also present some new results concerning
    SFDSR which demonstrate the versatility of the approach. Further, a simple method
    is introduced which considerably reduces the computational effort.'

  text: The paper is concerned with binaural signal processing for a bimodal human-robot
    interface with hearing and vision. The two microphone signals are processed to
    obtain an enhanced single-channel input signal for the subsequent speech recognizer
    and to localize the acoustic source, an important information for establishing
    a natural human-robot communication. We utilize a robust adaptive algorithm for
    filter-and-sum beamforming (FSB) and extract speaker direction information from
    the resulting FIR filter coefficients. Further, particle filtering is applied
    which conducts a nonlinear Bayesian tracking of speaker movement. Good location
    accuracy can be achieved even in highly reverberant environments. The results
    obtained outperform the conventional generalized cross correlation (GCC) method.

  text: Portable devices come with different limitations in user interaction like
    limited display size, small keyboard, and different sorts of input and output
    capabilities. With the advance of speech recognition and speech synthesis technologies,
    their complementary use becomes attractive for mobile devices in order to implement
    real multimodal user interaction. However, current systems and formats do not
    sufficiently integrate advanced multimodal interactions. We introduce an advanced
    generic multimodal interaction and rendering system (MIRS) dedicated for mobile
    devices. MIRS incorporates efficient processing of XML specification languages
    for limited, mobile devices and comes with the XML-based dialog and interface
    specification language (DISL). DISL can be considered as an UIML subset, which
    is enhanced by the means of state-oriented dialog specifications. The dialog specification
    is based on ODSN (object oriented dialog specification notation), which has been
    introduced to define user interface control by means of interaction states with
    transition rules.

  text: In this paper, it is shown that a correlation criterion is the appropriate
    criterion for bottom-up clustering to obtain broad phonetic class regression trees
    for maximum likelihood linear regression (MLLR)-based speaker adaptation. The
    correlation structure among speech units is estimated on the speaker-independent
    training data. In adaptation experiments the tree outperformed a regression tree
    obtained from clustering according to closeness in acoustic space and achieved
    results comparable with those of a manually designed broad phonetic class tree
