  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: 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: 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 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.

  text: In this work, an observation model for the joint compensation of noise and
    reverberation in the logarithmic mel power spectral density domain is considered.
    It relates the features of the noisy reverberant speech to those of the non-reverberant
    speech and the noise. In contrast to enhancement of features only corrupted by
    reverberation (reverberant features), enhancement of noisy reverberant features
    requires a more sophisticated model for the error introduced by the proposed observation
    model. In a first consideration, it will be shown that this error is highly dependent
    on the instantaneous ratio of the power of reverberant speech to the power of
    the noise and, moreover, sensitive to the phase between reverberant speech and
    noise in the short-time discrete Fourier domain. Afterwards, a statistically motivated
    approach will be presented allowing for the model of the observation error to
    be inferred from the error model previously used for the reverberation only case.
    Finally, the developed observation error model will be utilized in a Bayesian
    feature enhancement scheme, leading to improvements in word accuracy on the AURORA5
    database.

  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: '<jats:p>We examined, in immobilization, the effect of a diet high in sodium
    chloride (NaCl) on bone markers, nitrogen balance, and acid-base status. Eight
    healthy male test subjects participated in a 14-day head-down-tilt bed rest (HDBR)
    study. During the bed rest period they received, in a randomized crossover design,
    a high (7.7 meq Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>/kg body wt per day) and a low (0.7 meq
    Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>/kg body wt per day) NaCl diet. As expected, 24-h excretion
    of urinary calcium was significantly greater in the high-NaCl-intake HDBR phase
    than in the low-NaCl-intake HDBR phase ( P &lt; 0.001). High NaCl intake caused
    a 43–50% greater excretion of the bone resorption markers COOH- (CTX) and NH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>-
    (NTX) terminal telopeptide of type I collagen in HDBR than low NaCl in HDBR (CTX/NTX:
    P &lt; 0.001). Serum concentrations of the bone formation markers bone-specific
    alkaline phosphatase (bAP) and NH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>-terminal propeptide of
    type I procollagen (PINP) were identical in both NaCl intake phases. High NaCl
    intake led to a more negative nitrogen balance in HDBR ( P &lt; 0.001). Changes
    were accompanied by increased serum chloride concentration ( P = 0.008), reduced
    blood bicarbonate ( P = 0.017), and base excess ( P = 0.009) whereas net acid
    excretion was lower during high than during low NaCl intake in immobilization
    ( P &lt; 0.001). High NaCl intake during immobilization exacerbates disuse-induced
    bone and muscle loss by causing further protein wasting and an increase in bone
    resorption. Changes in the acid-base status, mainly caused by disturbances in
    electrolyte metabolism, seem to determine NaCl-induced degradation processes.</jats:p>'

  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.

    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.
