Deep learning architectures for estimating breathing signal and respiratory parameters from speech recordings

Mathew Magimai Doss, Zohreh Mostaani, Venkata Srikanth Nallanthighal

Respiration is an essential and primary mechanism for speech production. We first inhale and then produce speech while exhaling. When we run out of breath, we stop speaking and inhale. Though this process is involuntary, speech production involves a system ...
