SPARSE NON-NEGATIVE DECOMPOSITION OF SPEECH POWER SPECTRA FOR FORMANT TRACKING

Many works on speech processing have dealt with auto-regressive (AR) models for spectral envelope and formant frequency estimation, mostly focusing on the estimation of the AR parameters. However, it is also interesting to be able to directly estimate the ...

How does a dictation machine recognize speech?

Hervé Bourlard

There is magic (or is it witchcraft?) in a speech recognizer that transcribes continuous radio speech into text with a word accuracy of even not more than 50%. The extreme difficulty of this task, tough, is usually not perceived by the general public. This ...

Nonlinear modelling of double and triple period pitch breaks in vocal fold vibration

Auke Ijspeert, Jonas Buchli, Fritz Menzer

This paper reports a study on short-time subharmonic pitch breaks in vocal fold vibration, which are found to be a common feature of the human voice in spoken language. The observed pitch breaks correspond to a change in periodicity of the electrolaryngogr ...

HMM inference towards flexible speech recognition

One of the difficulties in Automatic Speech Recognizer (ASR) is the pronunciation variability. Each word (modeled by a baseline phonetic transcription in the ASR dictionary) can be pronounced in many different ways depending on many complex qualitative and ...

Relating LPC modeling to a factor-based articulatory model

Sacha Krstulovic

This paper proposes a method for recovering the articulatory parameters of a factor-based vocal tract shape model from the speech waveform. This is realized by analytically relating the shape model to a Linear Prediction lattice filter. Results pertaining ...
