PT-1: Automatic Speech Recognition: Past, Present and Future

Jean-Paul Haton
Room: I.I.C. Bratianu Hall
The use of speech as a man-machine communication medium has been extensively studied during the past few decades. This presentation will address one aspect of this domain, i.e., automatic speech recognition (ASR) that consists of interacting with a machine by voice. Commercial products have existed for more than 20 years, at first for isolated word recognition, and then for connected words and continuous speech, with applications of increasing complexity: dictation and data entry, interactive voice response, control, telecommunications, medias and meetings transcription, etc. Most of these systems are based on statistical modeling, both at the acoustic and linguistic levels.
If automatic speech recognition systems perform remarkably well, even for large vocabulary or multi-speaker tasks, their performance degrades dramatically in adverse situations, especially in the presence of noise or distortion. In particular, problems are created by differences that may occur between training and testing conditions (noise level as measured by the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), distance to the microphone and orientation, type of speakers, etc.). Speech recognition in adverse conditions has received much attention since system robustness has become one of the major bottlenecks for practical use of speech recognizers in real life.
After briefly recalling the basic principles of speech signal acquisition and parameterization, we will present the statistical approach to ASR (especially in a Bayesian framework) that is now the most widely used, based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM) for acoustic modeling. We will then turn to the types of solutions that have been proposed so far to increase the robustness of ASR systems in order to obtain good performance in real life conditions, including robust feature extraction and model adaptation.

PT-2: Computable performance analysis of sparsity recovery with application

Arye Nehorai
Room: I.I.C. Bratianu Hall
The last decade has witnessed burgeoning development in the reconstruction of signals based on exploiting their low-dimensional structures, particularly their sparsity, block-sparsity, and low-rankness. The reconstruction performance of these signals is heavily dependent on the structure of the operating matrix used in sensing. The quality of these matrices in the context of signal recovery is usually quantified by the restricted isometry constant and its variants. However, the restricted isometry constant and its variants are extremely difficult to compute. We present a framework for analytically computing the performance of the recovery of signals with sparsity or block-sparsity structures. We define a family of incoherence measures to quantify the goodness of arbitrary sensing matrices. Our primary contribution is the association of the incoherence measures with fixed points of certain scalar functions. These scalar functions are defined by a set of optimization problems and computed by series of programs. Linear programs, second-order cone programs, or semi-definite programs can be used, depending on the specific problem. We then use fixed-point theory and bisection search to generate an efficient algorithm to compute the incoherence measures with guaranteed global convergence. As a by-product, we implement efficient algorithms to verify sufficient conditions for exact signal recovery in the noise-free case. The utility of the proposed incoherence measures lies in their relation to the performance of reconstruction methods. We derive bounds on the recovery errors of convex relaxation algorithms in terms of these measures. We then discuss applications of these bounds to numerically assess the performance of sparsity systems arising in radar and other practical areas.

PT-3: Source Separation in Nonlinear Mixtures: How and Why?

Christian Jutten
Room: I.I.C. Bratianu Hall
The problem of source separation has been addressed mainly for linear mixtures, either memoryless or convolutive. Methods for solving the problem are based on source assumptions like statistical independence (ICA), time properties (coloration or nonstationarity), positivity or sparsity. However, although linearity is very often a convenient approximation, there are some applications in which the mixing process is clearly nonlinear. In this talk, in a first part, we explain what are the main problems encountered by source separation in nonlinear mixtures and how they can be overcome. Then, in a second part, we will consider actual strongly nonlinear problems: one in image processing and another one in chemical sensor array processing. For each problem, we will derive the nonlinear models, show how source separation can be applied and experiment results which can be achieved.

PT-5: Shannonian Abstractions, Real-Time Interactive Communications Calamities and Near-Capacity Multimedia Transceivers...

Lajos Hanzo
Room: I.I.C. Bratianu Hall
Commencing with a brief historical perspective on Shannon’s source- and channel-coding theorems, near-capacity multimedia transceivers are designed in a systematic manner. The lossless, but potentially infinite-length Shannonian entropy codes are extremely prone to loss of synchronization in the presence of channel-induced errors, especially for transmission over wireless channels exhibiting bursty, rather than randomly distributed transmission errors. Furthermore, most multimedia source signals are capable of tolerating lossy, rather than lossless delivery to the human ’receiver, namely to the eye, ear and other human sensors, when the associated psycho-visual and psycho-acoustic masking properties are exploited. However, the highly compressed source-coded signal becomes vulnerable to transmission errors, hence it has to be protected by powerful iteratively detected codes. As a lossless design example, the novel family of EXtrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) chart aided Variable-Length Codes (VLCs) will be alluded to. Furthermore, as a lossy example, H.264-coded video will be protected by the novel family of EXIT-chart-Optimized Short Block Codes (EOSBCs) and transmitted with the aid of multi-dimensional Sphere Packing (modulation aided Layered Steered Space-Time Coding termed as LSSTC. The LSSTC scheme combines all the benefits of the known MIMO schemes in terms of achieveing a multiplexing gain, diversity gain and beamforming gain. It is demonstrated that the conventional twostage turbo-detection schemes may suffer from a Bit Error Rate (BER) floor. We circumvent this deficiency with the aid of a three-stage turbo detected scheme, which employs a low-complexity unity-rate code as the intermediate code between the outer and inner code of the proposed architecture. The iterative decoding convergence behaviour of the advocatedMIMO transceiver is also investigated with the aid of EXIT charts.

PT-6: Sensing the universe: Signal processing challenges for large radio telescope arrays

Alle-Jan van der Veen
Room: I.I.C. Bratianu Hall
Radio astronomy is known for its very large telescope dishes, but currently there is a transition towards the use of large numbers of small elements. E.g., the recently commissioned LOFAR low frequency array uses 50 stations each with some 200 antennas, and the numbers will be even larger for the Square Kilometer Array, planned for 2020. Meanwhile some of the existing telescope dishes are being retrofitted with focal plane arrays. These instruments pose interesting challenges for array signal processing. One aspect, which we cover in this talk, is the calibration of such large numbers of antennas, especially if they are distributed over a wide area. Apart from the unknown element gains and phases (which may be directionally dependent), there is the unknown propagation through the ionosphere, which at low frequencies may be diffractive and different over the extent of the array. The talk will discuss several of the challenges, present the underlying data models, and propose some of the answers. We will also touch upon a recent initiative to develop a low-frequency telescope array in space, on a distributed platform formed by a swarm of nanosatellites.

PT-7: Information Theoretic aggregation for sparse prediction

Eric Moulines
Room: I.I.C. Bratianu Hall
Sparse regression addresses inference problems in which the number of parameters p to estimate is large compared to the sample size n. The main problem when the hypothesis space is high-dimensional problems is to propose estimators displaying favorable statistical performance but still having a manageable computational cost. Estimator based on penalized empirical risk minimization (with appropriately chosen sparsity inducing penalization) are known to perform theoretically well but are not able to address the combinatorial explosion of the hypothesis space. The Lasso estimator (and its many variants, like the group Lasso) makes the minimization problem convex, and leads to practical algorithms even when the number of regressors p is large. However stringent conditions (like the restricted isometry property) on the design have to be imposed to establish fast rates of convergence for this estimator. Recently, several authors have introduced new classes of estimators achieving good statistical performance for prediction without stringent assumption on the design and leading to practical algorithms. These methods are all based on some form of aggregation rather than selection of the active regressors; these estimators are obtained by sampling a quantity which might be interpreted as a posterior distribution, whose construction is based on some well-founded information theoretic principles. We will also discuss the statistical performance of this construction using a sparsity oracle inequality in probability.

PT-8: Space-from-Time Imaging: Acquiring Reflectance and Depth With Less Optics

Vivek Goyal
Room: I.I.C. Bratianu Hall
Traditional cameras use lenses to form an optical image of the scene and thus obtain spatial correspondences between the scene and the film or sensor array. These cameras do not sample the incident light fast enough to record any transient variations in the light field. This talk describes space-from-time imaging -- a signal processing framework in which spatial resolution comes from computationally processing samples of the response to time-varying illumination. Examples of this concept enable imaging using only omnidirectional illumination and sensing. Along with the formation of ordinary reflectance images in extraordinary configurations, we show a range sensing system that uses neither scene scanning by laser (as in LIDAR) nor multiple sensors (as in a time-of-flight camera). These technologies depend on novel parametric signal modeling and sampling theory.
