Human emotions detection considering speech signals is a field that has attracted the attention of the research community since the last years. Several situations where the human integrity and security is at risk have been addressed; particularly the analysis of speech in emergency calls or in call-centers, are an interesting scenario. This project aimed to develop a methodology to classify different types of emotions such as anger, anxiety, disgust, and desperation, in scenarios where the speech signal is contaminated with noise or is coded by telephone channels.
The feature vectors of a data set encode information about relations between speaker groups, clusters and outliers. Based on the assumption that these relations are conserved within the spatial properties of feature vectors, we introduce similarity …
There are a lot of features that can be extracted from speech signals for different applications such as automatic speech recognition or speaker verification. However, for pathological speech processing there is a need to extract features about the …
To solve the task of surgical mask detection from audio recordings in the scope of Interspeech’s ComParE challenge, we introduce a phonetic recognizer which is able to differentiate between clear and mask samples. A deep recurrent phoneme recognition …
Speech deficits are common symptoms amongParkinson’s Disease (PD) patients. The automatic assessment of speech signals is promising for the evaluation of the neurological state and the speech quality of the patients. Recently, progress has been made …
Introduction: The onset of deafness affects speech in different ways. Speech differences of Cochlear Implant (CI) users with pre- and postlingual deafness are examined using acoustic features extracted automatically from speech. Methods: Utterances …
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a variety of motor and non-motor symptoms. Particularly, several speech impairments appear in the initial stages of the disease, which affect aspects related to respiration and the …
Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that produces different motor impairments in the patients. The longitudinal assessment of the neurological state of patients is important to improve their quality of life. We introduced Apkinson, a …
