Bipolar II disorder: Epidemiology, diagnosis and management
Bipolar II disorder (BP-II) is defined, by DSM-IV, as recurrent episodes of depression and hypomania. Hypomania, according to DSM-IV, requires elevated (euphoric) and/or irritable mood, plus at least three of the following symptoms (four if mood is only irritable): grandiosity, decreased need for sleep, increased talking, racing thoughts, distractibility, overactivity (an increase in goal-directed activity), psychomotor agitation and excessive involvement in risky activities. This observable change in functioning should not be severe enough to cause marked impairment of social or occupational functioning, or to require hospitalisation. The distinction between BP-II and bipolar I disorder (BP-I) is not clearcut. The symptoms of mania (defining BP-I) and hypomania (defining BP-II) are the same, apart from the presence of psychosis in mania, and the distinction is based on the presence of marked impairment associated with mania, i.e. mania is more severe and may require hospitalisation. This is an unclear boundary that can lead to misclassification; however, the fact that hypomania often increases functioning makes the distinction between mania and hypomania clearer. BP-II depression can be syndromal and subsyndromal, and it is the prominent feature of BP-II. It is often a mixed depression, i.e. it has concurrent, usually subsyndromal, hypomanic symptoms. It is the depression that usually leads the patient to seek treatment.DSM-IV bipolar disorders (BP-I, BP-II, cyclothymic disorder and bipolar disorder not otherwise classified, which includes very rapid cycling and recurrent hypomania) are now considered to be part of the 'bipolar spectrum'. This is not included in DSM-IV, but is thought to also include antidepressant/substance-associated hypomania, cyclothymic temperament (a trait of highly unstable mood, thinking and behaviour), unipolar mixed depression and highly recurrent unipolar depression.BP-II is underdiagnosed in clinical practice, and its pharmacological treatment is understudied. Underdiagnosis is demonstrated by recent epidemiological studies. While, in DSM-IV, BP-II is reported to have a lifetime community prevalence of 0.5%, epidemiological studies have instead found that it has a lifetime community prevalence (including the bipolar spectrum) of around 5%. In depressed outpatients, one in two may have BP-II. The recent increased diagnosing of BP-II in research settings is related to several factors, including the introduction of the use of semi-structured interviews by trained research clinicians, a relaxation of diagnostic criteria such that the minimum duration of hypomania is now less than the 4 days stipulated by DSM-IV, and a probing for a history of hypomania focused more on overactivity (increased goal-directed activity) than on mood change (although this is still required for a diagnosis of hypomania). Guidelines on the treatment of BP-II are mainly consensus based and tend to follow those for the treatment of BP-I, because there have been few controlled studies of the treatment of BP-II. The current, limited evidence supports the following lines of treatment for BP-II. Hypomania is likely to respond to the same agents useful for mania, i.e. mood-stabilising agents such as lithium and valproate, and the second-generation antipsychotics (i.e. olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone, ziprasidone, aripiprazole). Hypomania should be treated even if associated with overfunctioning, because a depression often soon follows hypomania (the hypomania-depression cycle). For the treatment of acute BP-II depression, two controlled studies of quetiapine have not found clearcut positive effects. Naturalistic studies, although open to several biases, have found antidepressants in acute BP-II depression to be as effective as in unipolar depression; however, one recent large controlled study (mainly in patients with BP-I) has found antidepressants to be no more effective than placebo. Results from naturalistic studies and clinical observations on mixed depression, while in need of replication in controlled studies, indicate that antidepressants may worsen the concurrent intradepression hypomanic symptoms. The only preventive treatment for both depression and hypomania that is supported by several, albeit older, controlled studies is lithium. Lamotrigine has shown some efficacy in delaying depression recurrences, but there have also been several negative unpublished studies of the drug in this indication.

[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disorder with high morbidity and significant health service utilization costs. Few studies have reported on the phenotypic overlap of FM and bipolar disorder (BD). The aim of this review is to qualitatively and quantitatively summarize the results and clinical implications of the extant literature on the co-occurrence of FM and BD. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Embase was conducted to search for relevant articles. Articles were included if incidence and/or prevalence of BD was determined in the FM sample. Results of prevalence were pooled from all studies. Pooled odds ratio (OR) was calculated based on case-control studies using standard meta-analytic methods. Results: A total of nine studies were included. The pooled rate of BD comorbidity in samples of FM patients was 21% (n=678); however, results varied greatly as a function of study methodology. Case-controlled studies revealed a pooled OR of 7.55 of BD co-morbidity in samples of FM patients [95% Confidence Interval (CI)=3.9-14.62, FM n=268, controls n=413] with low heterogeneity (I(2)=0%). Limitations: The current study was limited by the low number of available studies and heterogeneity of study methods and results. Conclusions: These data strongly suggest an association between BD and FM. Future studies employing a validated diagnostic screen are needed in order to more accurately determine the prevalence of BD in FM. An adequate psychiatric assessment is recommended in FM patients with suspected symptoms consistent with BD prior to administration of antidepressants in the treatment of FM.0Comments 1Citation
- "...hat depression often dominates the course of BD, evinced by its frequent misdiagnosis as MDD (Benazzi, 2007). The current gold standard for diagnosis of BD is the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SC..."The clinical relevance for screening and monitoring individuals with comorbid BD in FM patients is underscored by the data reviewed herein, where treatment selection could directly or indirectly affect illness trajectory, morbidity , and mortality. A separate, but related, concern in treating individuals with FM that are at risk for or are diagnosed with BD is that depression often dominates the course of BD, evinced by its frequent misdiagnosis as MDD (Benazzi, 2007). The current gold standard for diagnosis of BD is the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) conducted by mental health practitioners; however, even this diagnostic method can be subject to relatively low sensitivity and specificity (0.45 and 0.74, respectively) depending on the patient's presentation and examiner experience (Benazzi and Rihmer, 2000).
- "...what mechanisms are behind the different management effects in these two types of bipolar disorder [4]. Biological studies for example, have shown some promises in this regard. ..."Moreover, for patients with resistance to pharmacotherapies, the electroconvulsant therapy is more effective in BD II than that in BD I [6] . Scholars are wondering what mechanisms are behind the different management effects in these two types of bipolar disorder [4]. Biological studies for example, have shown some promises in this regard.
Relationship between Personality Disorder Functioning Styles and the Emotional States in Bipolar I and II Disorders[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Bipolar disorder types I (BD I) and II (BD II) behave differently in clinical manifestations, normal personality traits, responses to pharmacotherapies, biochemical backgrounds and neuroimaging activations. How the varied emotional states of BD I and II are related to the comorbid personality disorders remains to be settled. We therefore administered the Plutchick - van Praag Depression Inventory (PVP), the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ), the Hypomanic Checklist-32 (HCL-32), and the Parker Personality Measure (PERM) in 37 patients with BD I, 34 BD II, and in 76 healthy volunteers. Compared to the healthy volunteers, patients with BD I and II scored higher on some PERM styles, PVP, MDQ and HCL-32 scales. In BD I, the PERM Borderline style predicted the PVP scale; and Antisocial predicted HCL-32. In BD II, Borderline, Dependant, Paranoid (-) and Schizoid (-) predicted PVP; Borderline predicted MDQ; Passive-Aggressive and Schizoid (-) predicted HCL-32. In controls, Borderline and Narcissistic (-) predicted PVP; Borderline and Dependant (-) predicted MDQ. Besides confirming the different predictability of the 11 functioning styles of personality disorder to BD I and II, we found that the prediction was more common in BD II, which might underlie its higher risk of suicide and poorer treatment outcome.0Comments 0Citations
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Purpose Despite a growing body of knowledge on bipolar spectrum disorder (BSD), relatively little is known about the clinical characteristics of BSD in elderly people. We investigated the prevalence of BSD in elderly patients with recurrent depression. Patients and methods A total of 65 elderly outpatients (≥60 years of age) who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV criteria for recurrent major depressive disorder participated in the study. BSD was diagnosed according to the criteria developed by Ghaemi et al and the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (MDQ) was used to assess bipolarity. Results Of 65 subjects, eleven (16.9%) and 54 (83.1%) were diagnosed with BSD and unipolar depression, respectively. A total of 32.3% (n=22) had a positive screen for bipolar disorder, and we found a significant association between the BSD criteria and the criteria for a positive MDQ (P<0.001). Patients with BSD had a longer duration of illness (P=0.040) and more prior depressive episodes (P<0.001) than did those with unipolar depression. The BSD criteria of first-degree relative with bipolar disorder (P=0.030), antidepressant-induced hypomania (P=0.034), hyperthymic personality (P=0.001), and atypical depression (P=0.030) were highly associated with MDQ-positive patients. Conclusion Our results indicate that many depressed elderly patients have bipolar-related illness; moreover, some features of the depression are associated with bipolarity.0Comments 2Citations

Frisky pin-up parrot gets personal attention
Relevant offers
Playing wingman to the world's most famous parrot is more than a fulltime job for Alisha Sherriff – it's a labour of love.
The Department of Conservation ranger is Sirocco the kakapo's minder and personal assistant, which means she is at the native parrot's beck and call round-the-clock.
She oversees his public appearances, gets his meals ready, cleans his house, looks after his fan mail, ensures he gets his beauty sleep and that no one ruffles his feathers.
It's a demanding assignment that has required Sherriff to move into premises within metres of Sirocco's enclosure at Wellington wildlife attraction Zealandia, so that she can respond to his needs no matter the hour.
Despite the long hours, Sherriff is more than happy with her lot, and admits she has become very attached to her charge, one of only 129 kakapo in the world and the only one on the mainland.
"He is my responsibility and if anything happens to him it's on my head," she told the Sunday Star-Times.
Sirocco shot to fame in 2009 when his frisky antics were caught on film by a documentary crew filming the series Last Chance to See with zoologist Mark Carwadine and the celebrity Stephen Fry.
The film footage of Sirocco climbing on Carwadine's head and mimicking mating has been viewed on YouTube more than 3.3 million times, propelling the male parrot to international stardom.
He is now the poster boy for the kakapo recovery programme and has his own Facebook page.
People are even willing to pay for his spewed food. Online auction site Trade Me is currently running an auction of masticated pine needles infused with Sirocco's saliva. The auction, which closes this evening, has already attracted numerous bids.
Sherriff said she had heard lots of stories about Sirocco before she took up her position, and he had more than lived up to his billing: "He's wild in every aspect apart from the fact he does like to interact with people, and unfortunately mate with people as well.
"He's really good. He's really gentle, playful and mischievous. He can be a little bit naughty at times, but he is quite endearing. I didn't think I would get this attached to him.
"It will be quite sad when I have to say goodbye."
And that time is fast approaching as Sirocco will soon leave Zealandia for the wilds of Maud Island. He will spend a few months there in solitude before returning to the celebrity circuit next year.

Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced that its previously proprietary front-end UML editor has moved into the open source domain. Accessible for free download from xtUML.org, this editor was formerly part of the company's powerful BridgePoint™ xtUML environment. Providing a free editor and releasing the editor code as an open source software project (which is occurring over the course of the next month) is designed to encourage the advancement of model-driven development within the system design community.
"The xtUML editor is one of the best tools available for creating Executable UML models. It makes development work much easier than other UML tools in the market," remarked Lee Riemenschneider, chief scientist at frogooa, a software development consultancy specializing in Executable UML.
Models are often used in systems engineering for documenting or communicating design intent. A model-driven development flow goes one step further, leveraging the model from its first incarnation as a conceptual model, through its refinement as a detailed design representation, and finally to its automated implementation for the target platform. A fundamental principle of model-driven development is that an application should be developed and verified independent of its implementation target, for maximum productivity, implementation flexibility, and reuse.
Creating platform-independent models allows the user to focus on solving the application problem without having to worry about the implementation details. Representing systems at a higher level of abstraction allows designs to be captured and verified quickly, concisely, and efficiently. The xtUML editor is a gateway to platform-independent modeling and the starting point for a model-driven development methodology.
UML is a general-purpose modeling language, typically used to create abstract models of software-intensive systems. xtUML adds execution and translation capabilities, expanding the value of the UML language from a static picture drawing facility into a full-fledged solution for model-driven development.
The code available from xtUML.org includes an xtUML meta-model, an xtUML model of the BridgePoint environment, and the Java source that interfaces with the Eclipse environment, upon which the BridgePoint environment is built. The xtUML editor provides intelligent UML modeling, which ensures syntactic correctness and semantic consistency.

It is known to electronically convert one voice to another. In such a voice conversion process, a training phase is performed in which speech training data from source and target speakers is collected and used to train a voice conversion model. Next, a usage phase is entered in which the trained voice conversion model is used to convert a voice.
In general, the training phase is separate and distinct from the usage phase, meaning that the user must spend time providing speech training data before being able to use the voice conversion function. The better the quality of the speech training data, the better the quality of the voice conversion model. In practice, to obtain high quality speech training data, it is typical for a user to spend quite a lot of time speaking to train the system. Typically, the user is asked to speak a set of pre-defined sentences or a large amount of free speech in a dedicated collection mode. Or the user may provide speech training data from pre-stored source recorded under controlled conditions. However, it is unreasonable and inconvenient to expect the user to speak or otherwise collect large amounts of training material for the sake of training the voice conversion model. If the source voice is generated using text-to-speech (TTS) technology, then only the target speech corpus need be collected. Nonetheless, such training remains burdensome and inconvenient to the user.
It may be desirable to provide a way to collect high quality speech training data without undue burden to the user. Speech training data may be collected during normal usage of a device. In this way, the collection of speech training data may be effectively transparent to the user, without the need for a distinct collection mode from the user's point of view. For example, where the device is or includes a phone (such as a cellular phone), when the user makes or receives a phone call to/from another party, speech training data may be automatically collected from one or both of the parties during the phone call.
Illustrative aspects as disclosed herein are directed to a method, including receiving first speech input by a first party and second speech input by a second party; determining whether portions of the first speech input are active based on both the first speech input and the second speech input; generating data representing the active portions of the first speech input; and storing the data.
Further aspects are directed to an apparatus, including a first input configured to receive first speech input; a second input configured to receive second speech input different from the first speech input; a computer-readable medium; and a controller coupled to the first and second inputs and the computer-readable medium. The controller may be configured to determine whether portions of the first speech input are active based on both the first speech input and the second speech input, generate data representing the active portions of the first speech input, and store the data at the computer-readable medium.
Still further aspects are directed to an apparatus, including means for receiving first speech input by a first party and second speech input by a second party; means for determining whether portions of the first speech input are active based on both the first speech input and the second speech input; and means for generating data representing the active portions of the first speech input.
Even further aspects are directed to a method, including receiving first speech input; storing first data representing at least a portion of the first speech input; receiving second speech input; determining a first portion of the first data associated with a first speech quality; determining a first portion of the second data associated with a second speech quality; comparing the first speech quality with the second speech quality; responsive to an outcome of comparing, replacing the stored first portion of the first data with the first portion of the second speech input to produce a first modified first data; and training a voice conversion model based on the first modified first data.
Yet further aspects are directed to an apparatus, including an input configured to receive first speech input and second speech input; a computer-readable medium; and a controller coupled to the input and the computer-readable medium. The controller may be configured to store first data representing at least a portion of the first speech input at the computer-readable medium, determine a first portion of the first data associated with a first speech quality, determine a first portion of the second data associated with a second speech quality, compare the first speech quality with the second speech quality, responsive to an outcome of comparing, replace the first portion of the stored first data with the first portion of the second speech input to produce a first modified first data, and train a voice conversion model based on the first modified first data.
Yet further aspects are directed to an apparatus, including means for receiving first speech input; means for storing first data representing at least a portion of the first speech input; means for receiving second speech input; means for determining a first portion of the first data associated with a first speech quality; means for determining a first portion of the second data associated with a second speech quality; means for comparing the first speech quality with the second speech quality; means for, responsive to an outcome of comparing, replacing the stored first portion of the first data with the first portion of the second speech input to produce a first modified first data; and means for training a voice conversion model based on the first modified first data.
These and other aspects of the disclosure will be apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of illustrative aspects. For example, illustrative systems including combinations and subcombinations of the above-mentioned apparatuses are described, as well as illustrative methods performed by these systems.
A more complete understanding of the present disclosure may be acquired by referring to the following description in consideration of the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers indicate like features, and wherein:
It is noted that the various drawings are not necessarily to scale.
The various aspects summarized previously may be embodied in various forms. The following description shows by way of illustration various examples in which the aspects may be practiced. It is understood that other examples may be utilized, and that structural and functional modifications may be made, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
Except where explicitly stated otherwise, all references herein to two elements being "coupled" to each other is intended to include both (a) the elements being directly connected to each other, or in direct communication with each other, without any intervening elements as well as (b) the elements being indirectly connected to each other, or in indirect communication with each other, with one or more intervening elements.
Communication Environment
Referring to
Likewise, terminals 101 and 102 may be configured to communicate with each other via communication network 130. For example, terminals 101 and 102 may include a telephone (e.g., landline and/or cellular) and/or a computer with network communication functionality. In addition, terminals 101 and 102 may be mobile units (i.e., portable wireless communication devices such as but not limited to cellular phones and walkie-talkies) or non-mobile units (e.g., desktop computers). As will be described in further detail, various aspects of speech training data collection will be illustratively described as occurring during communication between terminals 101 and 102. However, as will also be described, such collection activities may additionally or alternatively occur at other times in which a terminal is not communicating with another terminal.
Controller 201 may be embodied as, for instance, one or more processors, circuits, computers, and the like. Controller 201 may be configurable such as by being programmed by executing computer-readable instructions stored in storage 202 and/or may be hard wired to perform specific functions. Thus, controller 201 may be embodied as hardware, software, and/or firmware. As will be discussed below, controller 201 may be configured to perform various data processing and decision-making functions of terminal 101.
Storage 202 may be embodied as one or more computer-readable media capable of storing information. For example, storage 202 may include one or more memories, magnetic disc drives/discs, and/or optical disc drives/discs. Storage 202 may store information in the form of data (such as speech training data) and/or computer-readable instructions. The computer-readable instructions may be used to configure (e.g., program) controller 201 to perform any of the various functions of controller 201 described herein. In addition, controller 201 may be configured to store data and computer-readable instructions in storage 202 as well as retrieve stored data and computer-readable instructions from storage 202 as desired.
Microphone 203 may be embodied as any acoustic sensing device, such as but not limited to a piezoelectric element microphone, a condenser microphone, a moving coil microphone. Microphone 203 may, for instance, be the microphone included on any standard cell phone. For instance, when a user is on a telephone call, the user may be talking into microphone 203. Raw analog or digital acoustic signals may be sent from microphone 203 to controller 201, or alternatively these acoustic signals may be preprocessed before being sent to controller 201.
Speaker 204 may be embodied as any sound producing device, such as but not limited to a piezoelectric element speaker or a moving coil speaker. Speaker 204 may be a physically different element than microphone 203. Alternatively, speaker 204 and microphone 203 may share the same sound sensing/producing element, since in many cases a speaker operated in reverse may be used as a microphone, and vice-versa. Speaker 204 may, for instance, be the speaker included on any standard cell phone. For instance, when a user is on a telephone call, the user may be listening to the voice of the other party being generated from speaker 204. Speaker 204 may also be used to provide a ring tone indicating an incoming call or to indicate some other status to the user. All sounds generated by speaker 204 may be directly or indirectly controlled and/or generated by controller 201.
User input portion 205 and user output portion 206 may be any devices that allow a user to provide input and receive output, respectively. For example, user input portion 205 may be a keyboard, key pad, mouse, joystick, and/or scroll wheel. User output portion 206 may be, for example, a display. Moreover, user input portion 205 and user output portion 206 may include one or more elements that are combined or integrated, such as a touch-sensitive display screen that both displays output to the user and receives touch input from the user. All user input and output may be directly or indirectly controlled by controller 201. Thus, controller 201 may cause output to be generated at user output portion 206, and controller 201 may receive input provided from user input portion 205.
Network interface 207 provides an interface between terminal 101 and communication network 103, and may be embodied as appropriate depending upon the configurations of terminal 101 and communication network 103. For example, where communication network 103 is a wireless network, then network interface 207 may include an antenna (such as a cellular network compatible antenna) for wireless communication with the wireless network, as well as a transmitter and/or receiver (e.g., a transceiver) for modulating, demodulating, transmitting, and/or receiving information to/from the antenna. All data transmitted to communication network 103 may be sent from controller 201 through the transmitter of network interface 207, and all data received from communication network 103 may be received by controller 201 via the receiver of network interface 207.
Various illustrative operations of the equipment described above will now be described. In the following illustrative description, it will be assumed that terminals 101 are 102 are each configured as a phone, that communication network 103 includes a phone network, and that a bi-directional audio phone call is made between terminal 101 and terminal 102. However, implementations of the various aspects disclosed herein are not limited to phones and phone calls. As will be described, audio provided by the party at terminal 101 and/or received from terminal 102 during a normal phone call may be used as a source for speech training data, which may be used for training a voice conversion model. This collection of speech training data may be done in a transparent manner from the user's perspective, without necessarily requiring a dedicated speech training data collection mode. Because speech training data may be collected in real time during a phone call, this may provide a desire for new ways to store and process the speech training data as opposed to environments where speech training data is collected in a dedicated collection mode without real time constraints. Storage of speech training data may be challenging in this transparent collection environment because a very large amount of data (e.g., representing the voices occurring during the phone call) may be provided, whereas storage 202 may have a limited capacity in practice, especially in a mobile device where device cost and size may be important considerations. As will be described below, only a relatively small selected subset of the data may be stored yet still provide for a high quality set of speech training data for the voice conversion model.
Speech training data collection may be broadly divided into two main functions: collection and processing of raw speech input into speech training data, and selection of a subset of the speech training data and storage thereof. These main functions may operate in a pipeline fashion (e.g., collection and processing, then selection/storage) and thus may also operate simultaneously with each other. In addition, either or both of these functions may operate before, during, or after a phone call as appropriate, and either or both of these functions may operate transparently behind the scenes from the perspective of the user.
Raw Speech Input Collection and Processing
Referring to
An enhanced two-input VAD may be implemented in an innovative way b using dialogue modeling by exploiting the fact that while one party is speaking during a phone call, the other party is most likely listening but not speaking. For example, when the two parties X and Y are engaged in a phone call, the dialogue has four possible cases: (1) X is speaking, (2) Y is speaking, (3) both X and Y are speaking, and (4) neither X nor Y are speaking. It may be assumed that case (3) is the least likely and in any event may produce low quality speech input.
A conventional VAD function for a single channel x typically operates as follows:
The conventional VAD(x) function includes one or more thresholds. The stricter the thresholds, the less likely that a given portion of speech input x will be considered active speech input. The single-channel VAD function may be adapted to operate for both channels x and y and enhanced taking the above dialogue modeling into consideration. This two-channel enhanced VAD (eVAD) may be expressed as:
Because a large quantity of source speech input x and y may be provided during a typical phone call, the VAD thresholds may be set rather strictly to provide for higher quality potential speech training data yet still maintain a sufficient quantity of qualified speech training data. In fact, because the total amount of speech input may be expected to be very large, over-rejection of speech input may likely not be harmful and may be beneficial from the viewpoint of data quality.
Referring again to
In step 303, the active speech input signal may be received and noise may be separated out. To accomplish this, inactive speech signal may be received in step 308. This inactive speech signal may be analyzed and used for determining various statistical characteristics of noise levels during silent portions of the inactive speech input signal. These characteristics may be applied in a known manner to remove noise from the active speech input signal at step 303. In addition, signal level normalization may be performed in step 303. Both steps 303 and 308 may be performed by controller 201.
In step 304, human-generated non-speech is detected and removed. Examples of such non-speech include laughing, breathing, and hesitation sounds (e.g., "ummmm"). This function may have already been performed as part of step 302, and in that case step 304 may be skipped.
In step 305, the speech signal may be enhanced in any manner desired. For example, one or more perceptual aspects of the speech signal may be improved, such as correcting potential reverberations (e.g., echo) in the speech signal.
In step 306, a speaker verification algorithm may be applied to verify the identity of the person who is speaking to ensure that the speech training data is taken only from the appropriate intended person. This may be performed by comparing speech input x with a hypothesized speaker verification model trained on the reference speech data stored in storage 202. Such speaker verification techniques are known, for example as described in F. Bimbot, et al., "A tutorial on text-independent speaker verification," EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing, 2004:4, pp. 430-451. This reference speech data may have been previously collected under controlled circumstances such that there is confidence that the reference speech data is from a known person. For instance, where terminal 101 is a cell phone, the reference speech data may be automatically collected during the first phone call or in response to a user-selection of a reference speech data collection mode (e.g., by providing appropriate input via user input portion 205. Because communication devices such as cell phones are usually dedicated for personal usage by the owner, who will be the one most likely to be talking into the phone, it may be expected to be relatively easy to obtain the owner's speech for purposes of generating reference speech data. The speaker verification process, including the collection and generation of reference speech data and the training of the verification model, may be performed by controller 201.
Next, in step 307, enhanced speech input x may be analyzed as desired and represented in the domain (e.g., a parametric domain) in which voice conversion will be performed. For instance, the speech may be represented (e.g., compressed) using a parametric speech model. Such a parametric model may use parameters defined as a sequence of feature vectors that change over time, and may allow for easy manipulation of individual parameters such as spectrum and/or prosodic features. Step 307 may be performed by controller 201. An example of such analysis and representation is described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/107,344, filed Apr. 15, 2005, which is incorporated by reference herein as to its entirety. The resulting speech training data may be included in the training corpus, subject to the optional data storage process described next, which is used to train the voice conversion model.
Speech Training Data Selection and Storage
While it is generally true that, the more speech training data available to a voice conversion model, the more accurate the voice conversion model (provided that the data is of high quality), it may not be expected to be practical to store all of the incoming speech training data generated from step 307. Accordingly, it may be necessary to selectively choose which portions of the speech data are stored for voice conversion model training and which are not.
In step 501, an initial amount of storage is allowed to be filled with incoming speech training data from step 307, such as in storage 202. This amount may be a fixed predetermined amount or may be dynamically determined based on an available amount of storage. Moreover, this amount may be set to be between (inclusively or non-inclusively) a lower storage amount limit and an upper storage amount limit. The lower storage amount limit may be set to correspond to a minimum amount of speech training data that would be acceptable for a high quality voice conversion model. The upper storage amount limit may be set in accordance with an available amount of storage space.
The speech training data may be subdivided into arbitrary units, which will be referred to herein as frames. The frames may or may not have a header and may be of a fixed size or a variable size. An example of stored speech training data and new incoming speech training data is shown in
Once the initial amount of storage space is filled, controller 201 may stop collection of further speech training data. Alternatively, controller 201 may continue collection and storage of further speech training data, albeit only selected portions thereof. In the latter case, controller 201 may determine the quality L of the worst quality frame. For instance, controller 201 may determine the quality of each frame in the stored speech training data and then choose the worst quality L from those determined qualities. In
The qualities shown, as well as the one-to-five scale, are merely illustrative. Any measure and scale of quality may be used. For example, the quality may depend upon the signal-to-noise ratio of the data, one or more of the parameters in the parametric model of the speech signal, and/or the measured modeling error caused by parametric representation (since if the quality of the signal is lower, the modeling error may be expected to be higher). Additionally or alternatively, a combination of several quality measures may be used to define the overall quality. The perceived quality of a particular portion of data may also depend upon the data as a whole. For instance, the quality of a data portion may be adjusted to be higher where the data portion provides speech aspects missing from or otherwise needed in the data as a whole (e.g., certain phonemes).
Next, in step 502, controller 201 receives/generates the new speech training data shown in
Next, in step 504, controller 201 determines whether the best quality of the new speech training data frames (in this example, four) is better than the worst quality of the existing speech training data frames (in this example, one). In this case, four is better than one, and so the outcome it true. Thus, the process moves on to step 505, in which controller 201 replaces a worst quality frame of the existing speech training data with a best quality frame of the new speech training data. This is shown in
Then, in step 506, controller 201 discards (e.g., ignores or deletes, as indicated by an "X" in
Upon the outcome of step 504 being false, then controller 201 discards the remaining frames of the new speech training data (step 507) and determines whether any more new speech training data exists (step 508). If so, then the process moves back to step 502. If not, then the data collection process ends and the revised speech training data may be used by controller 201 to train the voice conversion model using known processes (step 509). The voice conversion model may then be used by controller 201 to generate a synthesized target voice from a source voice. The synthesized voice may be output by controller 201 via, for example, speaker 204.
In addition to, or as an alternative to, the process shown in
Moreover, the processes of
In addition, it may be the case that the user does not want to listen to his or her own voice from the voice conversion model. Instead, the user may prefer to listen to the voice of someone else, such as the user's spouse. In that case, users may be able to share stored speech training data and/or trained voice data models. This may be accomplished by transmitting the model parameters between two devices (e.g., from terminal 101 to terminal 102, or vice versa) via, for example, communication network 103.
It is also noted that, while the above examples have been described with regard to processing speech input x and generating speech training data from speech input x, the same processes may be equally applied to speech input y (e.g., applied to speech input received from network interface 207. Where this is done, such processing of speech input y may further be used to estimate the identity of the source of speech input y (i.e., the identity of the person doing the speaking). Through interaction with user input and output portions 205 and 206, controller 201 may give the user the opportunity to reject an incoming call based on the determined caller identity. Where it is illegal or otherwise undesirable to perform this analysis on speech input y (since it is from another party and might be used without the other party's knowledge), it may be desirable that controller 201 provide the user with an option, via user input and output portions 205 and 206, to completely ignore speech input y or only use speech input y for implementing the step 301 eVAD function.
It may further be desirable that processing of speech input x may be used to determine whether the person speaking is authorized to use terminal 101. This may be enhanced in conjunction with additional user identification data, such as image data from a camera coupled to controller 201, or a fingerprint reader coupled to controller 201, or a password entered via user input portion 205.
Thus, various ways to collect and process high quality speech training data without undue burden to the user have been described, by collecting and processing such data during normal usage of a device, such as during a normal bi-directional phone call using a phone device. In this way, the collection of speech training data may be effectively transparent to the user.

Formula One: An Embarrassment of Riches?
Despite Formula One racking up profits reaching over £300 million over the last year, 2013 saw both the Lotus and Sauber teams in a public battle for financial survival. How is it that teams in a sport so flush are forced to fight to survive financially? Does Formula One still remain financially viable for privateer teams in 2014? Dan Paddock investigates. When the commercial rights holder of Formula One, CVC, reports earnings of over £500 million, £300 million of that believed to be profit, over the last financial year, one feels pressed to ask how it is that the very same week, Marussia, a team entering its fifth year in the sport can post a record loss of £59 million.
