Perceptual Information Loss due to Impaired Speech Production

Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei

Phonological classes define articulatory-free and articulatory-bound phone attributes. Deep neural network is used to estimate the probability of phonological classes from the speech signal. In theory, a unique combination of phone attributes form a phonem ...

Sound Pattern Matching for Automatic Prosodic Event Detection

Hervé Bourlard, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei, Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet

Prosody in speech is manifested by variations of loudness, exaggeration of pitch, and specific phonetic variations of prosodic segments. For example, in the stressed and unstressed syllables, there are differences in place or manner of articulation, vowels ...

Articulatory feature based continuous speech recognition using probabilistic lexical modeling

Ramya Rasipuram

Phonological studies suggest that the typical subword units such as phones or phonemes used in automatic speech recognition systems can be decomposed into a set of features based on the articulators used to produce the sound. Most of the current approaches ...

On Structured Sparsity of Phonological Posteriors for Linguistic Parsing

Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei

The speech signal conveys information on different time scales from short (20–40 ms) time scale or segmental, associated to phonological and phonetic information to long (150–250 ms) time scale or supra segmental, associated to syllabic and prosodic inform ...

On Compressibility of Neural Network phonological Features for Low Bit Rate Speech Coding

Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei

Phonological features extracted by neural network have shown interesting potential for low bit rate speech vocoding. The span of phonological features is wider than the span of phonetic features, and thus fewer frames need to be transmitted. Moreover, the ...

Speech vocoding for laboratory phonology

Milos Cernak

In this paper, we propose a platform based on phonological speech vocoding for examining relations between phonology and speech processing, and in broader terms, between the abstract and physical structures of speech signal. The goal of this paper is to go ...

Joint Source-Filter Optimization for Accurate Vocal Tract Estimation Using Differential Evolution

Jean-Marc Vesin, Olaf Schleusing

In this work, we present a joint source-filter optimization approach for separating voiced speech into vocal tract (VT) and voice source components. The presented method is pitch-synchronous and thereby exhibits a high robustness against vocal jitter, shim ...
