The network consists of spiking neurons. The spiking neurons in both layers are modeled by relaxation oscillators. The first layer of the network is locally connected, while the second layer is a fully connected network. We show that in order to correctly segregate sound sources, we should either use Cochleotopic/AMtopic map (CAM) or Cochleotopic/Spectrotopic map (CSM) depending on the nature of the intruding sound source.","PeriodicalId":315958,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE XIII Workshop on Neural Networks for Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

Previous systems have dealt with voiced speech with success, but they cannot handle unvoiced speech. We study the segregation of stop consonants, which contain significant unvoiced signals. We propose a novel method that employs onset as a major cue to segregate stop consonants. Our system first detects stops through onset detection and Bayesian classification of acoustic-phonetic features, and then performs grouping based on onset coincidence. The system has been tested and performs well on utterances mixed with various types of interference.","PeriodicalId":315958,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE XIII Workshop on Neural Networks for Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.

The residue of the destination signal after self-prediction is computed, after which a cross-prediction of the source signal over this residue is examined. In the absence of causality, there should be no cross-predictive power, due to which the performance of the cross-prediction system can be used as an indication of causality. The proposed approach uses the surrogate data method, and implements the self- and cross-prediction systems as feedforward neural networks. It is tested on synthetic examples, and a sensitivity analysis demonstrates the robustness of the approach.","PeriodicalId":315958,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE XIII Workshop on Neural Networks for Signal Processing (IEEE Cat.
