Automating speech reception threshold measurements using automatic speech recognition

The speech reception threshold (SRT) is the noise level at which the speech recognition rate of a test person is 50%. SRT measurement is relevant for patient screening, psychoacoustic research and algorithm development in hearing aids and cochlear implants. In this paper, we report on our efforts to automate SRT measurement using an automatic speech recognizer. During a test, sentences are pres...

مدل میکروسکوپی دوگوشی مبتنی بر فیلتر بانک مدولاسیون برای پیش گویی قابلیت فهم گفتار در افراد دارای شنوایی عادی

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 ...

A Database for Automatic Persian Speech Emotion Recognition: Collection, Processing and Evaluation

Abstract   Recent developments in robotics automation have motivated researchers to improve the efficiency of interactive systems by making a natural man-machine interaction. Since speech is the most popular method of communication, recognizing human emotions from speech signal becomes a challenging research topic known as Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). In this study, we propose a Persian em...

Autonomous measurement of speech intelligibility utilizing automatic speech recognition

Measures of speech intelligibility are an essential tool for diagnosing hearing impairment and for tuning hearing aid parameters. This study explores the potential of automatic speech recognition (ASR) for conducting autonomous listening tests. In these tests (e.g., in the Oldenburg sentence matrix test employed here) the responses of participants are usually logged by a (human) supervisor. The...

Speech Emotion Recognition Based on Power Normalized Cepstral Coefficients in Noisy Conditions

Automatic recognition of speech emotional states in noisy conditions has become an important research topic in the emotional speech recognition area, in recent years. This paper considers the recognition of emotional states via speech in real environments. For this task, we employ the power normalized cepstral coefficients (PNCC) in a speech emotion recognition system. We investigate its perfor...
