Robust Speech: Recognition and Understanding

PUBLISHER Intechopen (06/01/2007)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)
Description
This book on Robust Speech Recognition and Understanding brings together many different aspects of the current research on automatic speech recognition and language understanding. The first four chapters address the task of voice activity detection which is considered an important issue for all speech recognition systems. The next chapters give several extensions to state-of-the-art HMM methods. Furthermore, a number of chapters particularly address the task of robust ASR under noisy conditions. Two chapters on the automatic recognition of a speaker's emotional state highlight the importance of natural speech understanding and interpretation in voice-driven systems. The last chapters of the book address the application of conversational systems on robots, as well as the autonomous acquisition of vocalization skills.

An der UniversitAt Karlsruhe promovierte er 1971 mit dem Thema "Optimale Suchfilter" und habilitierte sich 1974 fA1/4r das Fach "Nachrichtentechnik." Seit 1977 ist er an der UniversitAt Karlsruhe Professor an der FakultAt fA1/4r Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik.

Von 1987 bis 1991 leitete er parallel dazu die Abteilung "Digitale Signalverarbeitung und Diagnose" am Fraunhofer Institut fA1/4r Informations- und Datenverarbeitung (IITB) in Karlsruhe. Heute arbeitet er dort als wissenschaftlicher Berater.

Auf den Feldern "Signalverarbeitung" und "NachrichtenA1/4bertragung" publizierte er A1/4ber 60 BeitrAge und schrieb 3 BA1/4cher, zum Teil zusammen mit anderen Autoren. Sein besonderes Interesse gilt der StAr- und Echoreduktion bei Spracherkennung und -A1/4bertragung.

Mehrmals nahm er im Rahmen von Forschungssemestern Positionen an anderen Hochschulen ein, so am Technion Haifa, Israel, der University of California at Santa Barbara, California, dem Bandung Institute of Technology, Indonesia usw.

Er ist Mitglied des VDE, des Verbandes der Elektrotechnik, Elektronik und Informationstechnik e.V.
