In this paper we introduce a novel dynamic programming algorithm called Information Retrieval-based Dynamic Time Warping (IR-DTW) used to find non-linearly matching subsequences between two time series where matching start and end points are not known a priori. In this paper our algorithm is applied for audio matching ...

Factor automaton is an efficient data structure for representing all factors (substrings) of a set of strings (e.g. a finite-state automaton). This notion can be generalized to weighted automata by associating a weight to each factor. In this paper, we consider the problem of computing expected document frequency (DF),...

Voice-pathology detection from a subject's voice is a promising technology for the pre-diagnosis of larynx diseases. Glottal source estimation in particular plays a very important role in voice-pathology analysis. To more accurately estimate the spectral envelope and glottal source of the pathology voice, we propose a ...

The perception of prosodic prominence is influenced by different sources like different acoustic cues, linguistic expectations and context. We use a generalized additive model and a random forest to model the perceived prominence on a corpus of spoken German. Both models are able to explain over 80% of the variance. Wh...
