A Training System for Unvoiced Vowel Recognition

A self-supervised vowel recognition system

The Effect of English Vowel-Recognition Training on Beginner and Advanced Iranian ESL Learners

This study was an attempt to investigate the effect of vowel-recognition training on beginner and advanced Iranian ESL learners. A total of 36 adult Iranian ESL learners (18 advanced and 18 beginners) who were students of various majors at Memorial University (MUN) were recruited for the study. Advanced participants had the experience of living in Canada for at least three years while beginners...

Vowel place detection for a knowledge-based speech recognition system

On the convergence of "A self-supervised vowel recognition system"

AbslraclA self-supervised learning algorithm based on the concept of guard zoncs was developed by Pal et al'l) for studying the adaptive abilHY of a recognition system, starting with non-appropriate representative vectors. Guard zones were used 10 discard unreliable (dou btful) samples from the parameter-updatiug programme, so that the convergenee does not get affccted. The algorithm was implem...

Towards a robust/fast continuous speech recognition system using a voiced-unvoiced decision

In this paper, we show that the concept of Voiced-Unvoiced (VU) classification of speech sounds can be incorporated not only in speech analysis or speech enhancement processes, but also can be useful for recognition processes. That is, the incorporation of such a classification in a continuous speech recognition (CSR) system not only improves its performance in low SNR environments, but also li...
