Automatic Pathological Speech Intelligibility Assessment Exploiting Subspace-Based Analyses

Hervé Bourlard, Ina Kodrasi, Parvaneh Janbakhshi

Competitive state-of-the-art automatic pathological speech intelligibility measures typically rely on regression training on a large number of features, require a large amount of healthy speech training data, or are applicable only to phonetically balanced ...

PATHOLOGICAL SPEECH INTELLIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT BASED ON THE SHORT-TIME OBJECTIVE INTELLIGIBILITY MEASURE

Hervé Bourlard, Ina Kodrasi, Parvaneh Janbakhshi

Impaired speech intelligibility in motor speech disorders arising due to neurological diseases negatively affects the communication ability and quality of life of patients. Reliable and cost-effective measures to automatically assess speec ...

Characterisation of voice quality of Parkinson's disease using differential phonological posterior features

Milos Cernak

Change in voice quality (VQ) is one of the first precursors of Parkinson's disease (PD). Specifically, impacted phonation and articulation causes the patient to have a breathy, husky-semiwhisper and hoarse voice. A goal of this paper is to characterize a V ...

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 ...

Sparse Pronunciation Codes for Perceptual Phonetic Information Assessment

Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei, Dhananjay Ram

Speech is a complex signal produced by a highly constrained articulation machinery. Neuro and psycholinguistic theories assert that speech can be decomposed into molecules of structured atoms. Although characterization of the atoms is controversial, the ex ...

"Can you hear me now?"

Raphaël Marc Ullmann

This thesis deals with signal-based methods that predict how listeners perceive speech quality in telecommunications. Such tools, called objective quality measures, are of great interest in the telecommunications industry to evaluate how new or deployed sy ...

HMM-based Non-native Accent Assessment using Posterior Features

Milos Cernak, Ramya Rasipuram

Automatic non-native accent assessment has many potential benefits in language learning and speech technologies. The three fundamental challenges in automatic accent assessment are to characterize, model and assess individual variation in speech of the non ...

Automatic Accentedness Evaluation of Non-Native Speech Using Phonetic and Sub-Phonetic Posterior Probabilities

Milos Cernak, Ramya Rasipuram

Automatic evaluation of non-native speech accentedness has potential implications for not only language learning and accent identification systems but also for speaker and speech recognition systems. From the perspective of speech production, the two prima ...
