报告摘要:


Speech signal not only contains lexiconinformation, but also deliver various kinds of paralinguistic speech attributeinformation, such as speaker, language, gender, age, emotion, channel, voicing,psychological states, etc. The core technique question behind it is utterancelevel supervised learning based on text independent speech signal with flexibleduration. I will select speaker verification as an example to introduce theframework of paralinguistic speech attribute recognition. Moreover, we can extendthe signal from speech to multimodal human centered behavior data. We applysignal processing and machine learning technologies to human behavior signals,such as audio, visual, physiological and eye tracking data to provide objectiveand quantitative behavior measurements or codes. Example studies include autismspectrum disorder, obesity, biometrics and piano learning.
