Unsupervised speech processing with applications to query-by-example spoken term detection
This thesis is motivated by the challenge of searching and extracting useful information from speech data in a completely unsupervised setting. In many real world speech processing problems, obtaining annotated data is not cost and time effective. We therefore ask how much can we learn from speech …
