Learning an acoustic model directly from the raw waveform has been an active area of research. However, waveform-based models have not yet matched the performance of log-mel trained neural networks. We will show that raw waveform features match the performance of log-mel filterbank energies when used with a state-of-th...

Reverberation poses a problem to the active robot audition system. The change in speaker's face orientation relative to the robot perturbs the room acoustics and alters the reverberation condition at runtime, which degrades the automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance. In this paper, we present a method to mitiga...

Text-dependent speaker verification uses short utterances and verifies both speaker identity and text contents. Due to this nature, traditional state-of-the-art speaker verification approaches, such as i-vector, may not work well. Recently, there has been interest of applying deep learning to speaker verification, howe...
