A Semi-spontaneous Dutch Speech Dataset for Speech Enhancement and Speech Recognition
Dimme de Groot, Yuanyuan Zhang, Jorge Martinez +1
We present DRES: a 1.5-hour Dutch realistic elicited (semi-spontaneous) speech dataset from 80 speakers recorded in noisy, public indoor environments. DRES was designed as a test s…
Objective and Subjective Evaluation of Diffusion-Based Speech Enhancement for Dysarthric Speech
Dimme de Groot, Tanvina Patel, Devendra Kayande +2
Dysarthric speech poses significant challenges for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems due to its high variability and reduced intelligibility. In this work we explore the u…
Performance of Objective Speech Quality Metrics on Languages Beyond Validation Data: A Study of Turkish and Korean
Javier Perez, Dimme de Groot, Jorge Martinez
Objective speech quality measures are widely used to assess the performance of video conferencing platforms and telecommunication systems. They predict human-rated speech quality a…
Loudspeaker Beamforming to Enhance Speech Recognition Performance of Voice Driven Applications
Dimme de Groot, Baturalp Karslioglu, Odette Scharenborg +1
In this paper we propose a robust loudspeaker beamforming algorithm which is used to enhance the performance of voice driven applications in scenarios where the loudspeakers introd…
