It is shown that even a simple feature such as full-band energy, when employed with a large-enough context, shows promise for further investigation. Experimental evaluations on the test data set, with a state-of-the-art multi-layer perceptron based SND system and a simple energy threshold based SND method, using the F-measure, show an absolute performance gain of 4.4\% and 5.4\% respectively. The optimal contextual length was found to be 1000 ms. Further numerical optimizations yield an improvement (3.37\% absolute,',','), resulting in an absolute gain of 7.77\% and 8.77\% over the MLP based and energy based methods respectively. ROC based performance evaluation also reveals promising performance for the proposed method, particularly in low SNR conditions.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/papers/2008/Parthasarathi_TSD2008_2008.pdf} } crossreferenced publications: @TECHREPORT{parthasarathi:rr08-22, author = {Parthasarathi, Sree Hari Krishnan and Hermansky, Hynek}, projects = {Idiap}, title = {Exploiting contextual information for speech/non-speech detection}, type = {Idiap-RR}, number = {Idiap-RR-22-2008}, year = {2008}, institution = {IDIAP}, abstract = {In this paper, we investigate the effect of temporal context for speech/non-speech detection (SND).
