On pre-image iterations for speech enhancement

In this paper, we apply kernel PCA for speech enhancement and derive pre-image iterations for speech enhancement. Both methods make use of a Gaussian kernel. The kernel variance serves as tuning parameter that has to be adapted according to the SNR and the desired degree of de-noising. We develop a method to derive a suitable value for the kernel variance from a noise estimate to adapt pre-imag...

Speech Perception as a Multimodal Phenomenon.

Speech perception is inherently multimodal. Visual speech (lip-reading) information is used by all perceivers and readily integrates with auditory speech. Imaging research suggests that the brain treats auditory and visual speech similarly. These findings have led some researchers to consider that speech perception works by extracting amodal information that takes the same form across modalitie...

As a growth regulator, PDGF-BB plays a crucial role in regulating neuronal survival and cell differentiation during embryonic development and in the adulthood. The multiple roles and mechanisms of PDGF-BB are still not known, especially involved in plasticity after spinal cord injury. However, before we can carry out further investigations a transgenic animal model with PDGF-BB down-regulation ...

Forward Masking Phenomenon in Concatenative Speech Synthesis

The approach described in the paper tries to get more knowledge to the concatenative text-to-speech system design. The knowledge is based on masking phenomenon of the inner ear, particularly of its temporal (forward) masking properties. Designing such knowledge-based system is suggested to use in the unit selection-based speech synthesis, as contemporary a prominent technique in concatenative s...
