چکیده
Recent psychophysical studies suggest that human listeners do not segregate concurrent sounds by grouping frequency regions that have a common interaural time difference (ITD). However, such an approach is adopted by most computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) systems that use binaural cues. Here, we propose a CASA system that separates a target speech signal from a noise interferer, but does not require the ITD of the two sources to be consistent across frequency. We compare the CASA system with human performance on the same task, in which the speech reception threshold (SRT) is measured for speech and noise stimuli which have consistent or inconsistent ITDs in different frequency bands. The CASA system is shown to be in qualitative agreement with human performance.

Speech Enhancement using Laplacian Mixture Model under Signal Presence Uncertainty
In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...

In this study, a binaural microscopic model for the prediction of speech intelligibility based on the modulation filter bank is introduced. So far, the spectral criteria such as the STI and SII or other analytical methods have been used in the binaural models to determine the binaural intelligibility. In the proposed model, unlike all models of binaural intelligibility prediction, an automatic ...
متن کاملRecognizing the Emotional State Changes in Human Utterance by a Learning Statistical Method based on Gaussian Mixture Model
Speech is one of the most opulent and instant methods to express emotional characteristics of human beings, which conveys the cognitive and semantic concepts among humans. In this study, a statistical-based method for emotional recognition of speech signals is proposed, and a learning approach is introduced, which is based on the statistical model to classify internal feelings of the utterance....
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Gender and Age Classification in Speech Signals
Accurate gender classification is useful in speech and speaker recognition as well as speech emotion classification, because a better performance has been reported when separate acoustic models are employed for males and females. Gender classification is also apparent in face recognition, video summarization, human-robot interaction, etc. Although gender classification is rather mature in a...
متن کاملAn Acoustic Study of Emotivity-Prosody Interface in Persian Speech Using the Tilt Model
This paper aims to explore some acoustic properties (i.e. duration and pitch amplitude of speech) associated with three different emotions: anger, sadness and joy against neutrality as a reference point, all being intentionally expressed by six Persian speakers. The primary purpose of this study is to find out if there is any correspondence between the given emotions and prosody patterning in P...
