We consider a parametric family of density functions of the type exp( jxj 2 ) for modeling acoustic feature vectors used in automatic recognition of speech. The parameter is a measure of the impulsiveness as well as the nongaussian nature of the data. While previous work has focussed on estimating the mean and the variance of the data here we attempt to estimate the impulsiveness from the data ...

Pre-processing of stereo signals A pair of gains is selected for each channel, in order to maximize an impulsiveness criterion on the envelope of the remixed monophonic signal. The impulsiveness measure I is computed as follows: Firstly, an envelope signal s′(t) is obtained by half-wave rectifying, decimating, low-pass filtering, and differentiating s(t). Then a contrast factor on this envelope...
