Hi!

        I saw this posted on comp.speech (Usenet) and thought there
would be some interest from segments of the Auditory-List community.

 We are preparing a review article on "Robust Speech Recognition
 Under Adverse Conditions", which we would like to be a little
 broader than other recent reviews such as:

     B.-H. Juang, "Speech Recognition in Adverse Environments,"
        Computer Speech and Language, vol. 5, pp. 275-294, 1991.

 or

     S. Furui, "Toward Robust Speech Recognition under Adverse
        Conditions," Proc. ESCA Workshop on Speech Processing in
        Adverse Conditions, pp. 31-42, European Speech Comm. Assoc.,
        Cannes, Nov. 1992.

 We would appreciate references to any original work you may suggest
 for inclusion, including, but not limited to the following topics:

        - Special transducer arrangements for noise suppression
        - Novel representations of speech, such as Auditory models
        - Speech enhancement preprocessing
        - Noise masking and adaptive models
        - Robust distortion measures
        - Stress compensation
        - Speaker adaptation
        - Co-channel separation
        - Coping with different kinds of microphones
        - Adaptation to new task domains


     Thanks in advance,
