Objective Study of Sensor Relevance for Automatic Cough Detection
Thomas Drugman, Jerome Urbain, Nathalie Bauwens +4
The development of a system for the automatic, objective and reliable detection of cough events is a need underlined by the medical literature for years. The benefit of such a tool…
Using a Pitch-Synchronous Residual Codebook for Hybrid HMM/Frame Selection Speech Synthesis
Thomas Drugman, Alexis Moinet, Thierry Dutoit +1
This paper proposes a method to improve the quality delivered by statistical parametric speech synthesizers. For this, we use a codebook of pitch-synchronous residual frames, so as…
Causal-Anticausal Decomposition of Speech using Complex Cepstrum for Glottal Source Estimation
Thomas Drugman, Baris Bozkurt, Thierry Dutoit
Complex cepstrum is known in the literature for linearly separating causal and anticausal components. Relying on advances achieved by the Zeros of the Z-Transform (ZZT) technique,…
The Deterministic plus Stochastic Model of the Residual Signal and its Applications
Thomas Drugman, Thierry Dutoit
The modeling of speech production often relies on a source-filter approach. Although methods parameterizing the filter have nowadays reached a certain maturity, there is still a lo…
A Deterministic plus Stochastic Model of the Residual Signal for Improved Parametric Speech Synthesis
Thomas Drugman, Geoffrey Wilfart, Thierry Dutoit
Speech generated by parametric synthesizers generally suffers from a typical buzziness, similar to what was encountered in old LPC-like vocoders. In order to alleviate this problem…
A Comparative Study of Pitch Extraction Algorithms on a Large Variety of Singing Sounds
Onur Babacan, Thomas Drugman, Nicolas d'Alessandro +2
The problem of pitch tracking has been extensively studied in the speech research community. The goal of this paper is to investigate how these techniques should be adapted to sing…
