• Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of automatic detection of voice pathologies directly from the speech signal. For this, we investigate the use of the glottal source estimation as a means to detect voice disorders. Three sets of features are proposed, depending on whether they are related to the speech or the glottal signal, or to prosody. The relevancy of these features is assessed through mutual information-based measures. This allows an intuitive interpretation in terms of discrimation power and redundancy between the features, independently of any subsequent classifier. It is discussed which characteristics are interestingly informative or complementary for detecting voice pathologies.

  Current accent conversion systems do not disentangle the two main sources of non-native accent: segmental and prosodic characteristics. We present an AC system that decouples voice quality from accent, but also disentangles the latter into its segmental and prosodic characteristics. We conduct perceptual listening tests to quantify the individual contributions of segmental features and prosody on the perceived comprehensibility of non-native speech.

  We construct a representation learning task based on joint modeling of ASR and TTS. We seek to learn a representation of audio that disentangles that part of the speech signal that is relevant to transcription from that part which is not. We show that enforcing these properties during training improves WER by 24.5% relative on average for our joint modeling task.

Unlike current bioacoustic recognition methods, which are task-oriented, the proposed model relies on transforming the input signals into vector subspaces. The validity of the proposed method is verified using three challenging bioacoustic datasets containing anuran, bee, and mosquito species.
