  Serrano, Luis; Tavarez Arriba, David; Sarasola, Xabier; Raman, Sneha; Saratxaga Couceiro, Ibon; Navas Cordón, Eva; Hernaez Rioja, Inmmaculada Concepción (International Speech Communication Association, 218-11-23)

  This paper describes a voice conversion system designed withthe aim of improving the intelligibility and pleasantness of oe-sophageal voices. Two different systems have been built, oneto transform the spectral magnitude ...
• Listening to Laryngectomees: A study of Intelligibility and Self-reportedListening Effort of Spanish Oesophageal Speech 

  Raman, Sneha; Hernaez Rioja, Inmmaculada Concepción; Navas Cordón, Eva; Serrano, Luis (International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)

  Oesophageal speakers face a multitude of challenges, such asdifficulty in basic everyday communication and inability to in-teract with digital voice assistants. We aim to quantify the diffi-culty involved in understanding ...
• Regularized Neural User Model for Goal-Oriented Spoken Dialogue Systems 

  Serras, Manex; Torres Barañano, María Inés; Del Pozo, Arantza (Springer, 2018-08-02)

  User simulation is widely used to generate artificial dialogues in order to train statistical spoken dialogue systems and perform evaluations. This paper presents a neural network approach for user modeling that exploits ...
• Tracking the Expression of Annoyance in Call Centers 

  Irastorza, Jon; Torres Barañano, María Inés (Springer, 2018-08-26)

  Machine learning researchers have dealt with the identification of emo- tional cues from speech since it is research domain showing a large number of po- tential applications. Many acoustic parameters have been analyzed ...
