      Listening to Laryngectomees: A study of Intelligibility and Self-reportedListening Effort of Spanish Oesophageal Speech 

      Raman, Sneha; Hernáez Rioja, Inmaculada ORCID; Navas Cordón, Eva ORCID; Serrano García, 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 ...

      LSTM based voice conversion for laryngectomees 

      Serrano García, Luis; Tavarez Arriba, David; Sarasola, Xabier; Raman, Sneha; Saratxaga Couceiro, Ibon ORCID; Navas Cordón, Eva ORCID; Hernáez Rioja, Inmaculada ORCID (International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
      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 ...

      Synthetic speech detection using phase information 

      Saratxaga Couceiro, Ibon ORCID; Sánchez de la Fuente, Jon ORCID; Wu, Zhizheng; Hernáez Rioja, Inmaculada ORCID; Navas Cordón, Eva ORCID (Elsevier B.V., 2016-04-16)
      Taking advantage of the fact that most of the speech processing techniques neglect the phase information, we seek to detect phase perturbations in order to prevent synthetic impostors attacking Speaker Verification systems. ...

      The observation likelihood of silence: analysis and prospects for VAD applications 

      Odriozola Sustaeta, Igor; Hernáez Rioja, Inmaculada ORCID; Navas Cordón, Eva ORCID; Serrano García, Luis; Sánchez de la Fuente, Jon ORCID (International Speech Communication Association, 2018-11-23)
      This paper shows a research on the behaviour of the observa-tion likelihoods generated by the central state of asilenceHMM(Hidden Markov Model) trained for Automatic Speech Recog-nition (ASR) using cepstral mean and variance ...
