Fractal Speech Processing

Fractal Speech Processing

This volume offers the results of research carried out to develop novel fractal-based techniques for the analysis of speech and audio signals. A great deal of this work is currently finding its way into practical commercial applications with Nokia Communications and other key organizations. After an introduction to speech processing and fractal geometry, fractal techniques are described in detail with numerous applications and examples. A final chapter summarizes the advantages and potential of the new techniques.

Advances in Nonlinear Speech Processing

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Nonlinear Speech Processing, NoLISP 2011, held in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, in November 2011. The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss new ideas, techniques and results related to alternative approaches in speech processing that may depart from the main stream. The 33 papers presented together with 2 keynote talks were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book. The topics of NOLISP 2011 were non-linear approximation and estimation; non-linear oscillators and predictors; higher-order statistics; independent component analysis; nearest neighbors; neural networks; decision trees; non-parametric models; dynamics of non-linear systems; fractal methods; chaos modeling; and non-linear differential equations.
