Sounds of silence: Data for analysing muted safety voice in speech

Requiem for the sounds of silence.

serendipitously stumbled on the moving poetry from Paul Simon's signature song, The Sounds of Silence. It happens , ironically — and previously unbeknownst to me — that this moving elegy was composed during Simon's period of mourning after Kennedy's assassination. The last stanza speaks eloquently to the sounds that now reverberate in this maturing cardiologist's mind: And the people bowed and ...

Voice Detection using Speech Energy Maximization and Silence Feature Normalization

The estimation of noises is very important to remove noises from voices with background noises. This paper proposed a voice detection method using a silence feature normalization and voice energy maximize. In the high signal-to-noise ratio for the proposed method was used to maximize the characteristics receive less characterized the effects of noise by the voice energy. Cepstral feature distri...

Intelligent voice smoother for silence-suppressed voice over Internet

For transporting voice data with silence suppression over the Internet, the problem of jitter introduced from the network often renders the speech unintelligible. It is thus essential to offer intramedia synchronization to remove jitter while retaining minimal playout delay. We have previously proposed a neural– network–based intra–voice synchronization mechanism, called Intelligent Voice Smoot...

doctoral studies are carried out within broad problem areas. Research is organized in interdisciplinary research environments and doctoral studies mainly in graduate school. Jointly, they publish the series Linköping Studies in Arts and Science. This thesis comes from the Acknowledgements After all, I have finished this work. This is the worst thing I have ever done. In spite of odd self-confid...
