Two representations of the residual are compared, namely real-cepstrum and MFCC, with the latter performing better. Experiments on RT06eval show that residual with subband information from 2.5 kHz to 3.5 kHz and spectral slope yields a performance close to traditional MFCC features. As a way to objectively evaluate privacy in terms of linguistic information, we perform phoneme recognition. Residual features yield low phoneme accuracies compared to traditional MFCC features.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2011/Parthasarathi_Idiap-RR-14-2011.pdf} }
