Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
& Speech Signal Processing Research
at Aalborg University
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is now being widely deployed in Denmark even though
Danish is a "small" language. In this talk an accounting is given for the developments within ASR in
Denmark. Next, some recent work on speech signal processing is presented: (i) voice activity
detection and variable frame analysis are applied for the improvement of noise robustness of ASR,
and (ii) joint speech separation and speaker identification. Finally some recent studies within
automatic reading tutoring are presented. The talk is concluded by a short general presentation of
the department and a short comparison of US and Danish higher education.

Børge Lindberg (M’94) was born in Denmark in Nov. 1959. He
received M.Sc. Degree in electrical engineering from Aalborg
University (AAU), Denmark, in 1983. In 1983, he became a
Research Assistant at AAU, in 1986 he was with Jydsk Telefon,
R&D Lab, Århus, Denmark, and in 1992 he became a Research
Assistant at AAU [Center for Person-Komunikation (CPK)]. In
1995, he was a Visiting Researcher at the Defense Research
Agency, Great Malvern, U.K., studying methods for predicting the
performance of automatic speech recognition systems. Since
1996, he has been an Assoc. Professor at Dept. of Electronic
Systems, AAU, and since 2006 has been Dept. Head. Much of his
automatic speech recognition research has been in collaboration
with Danish and European companies from public funding. His
current research interests include speech recognition with a focus
on robustness and acoustic modeling techniques.
