Negentropic linguistic evolution: A comparison of seven languages

Frédéric Kaplan, Vincent Christian Buntinx

The relationship between the entropy of language and its complexity has been the subject of much speculation – some seeing the increase of linguistic entropy as a sign of linguistic complexification or interpreting entropy drop as a marker of greater regul ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Individual Differences in the Discrimination of Novel Speech Sounds: Effects of Sex, Temporal Processing, Musical and Cognitive Abilities

John Christian Thoresen

This study examined whether rapid temporal auditory processing, verbal working memory capacity, non-verbal intelligence, executive functioning, musical ability and prior foreign language experience predicted how well native English speakers (N = 120) discr ...

Towards mixed language speech recognition systems

Hervé Bourlard, David Imseng

Multilingual speech recognition obviously involves numerous research challenges, including common phoneme sets, adaptation on limited amount of training data, as well as mixed language recognition (common in many countries, like Switzerland). In this latte ...

On Confusions in a Phoneme Recognizer

Hynek Hermansky, Joel Praveen Pinto

In this paper, we analyze the confusions patterns at three places in the hybrid phoneme recognition system. The confusions are analyzed at the pronunciation, the posterior probability, and the phoneme recognizer levels. The confusions show significant stru ...

Hierarchical Neural Networks Feature Extraction for LVCSR system

Hynek Hermansky, Fabio Valente

This paper investigates the use of a hierarchy of Neural Networks for performing data driven feature extraction. Two different hierarchical structures based on long and short temporal context are considered. Features are tested on two different LVCSR syste ...
