Discrimination of speaker size from syllable phrases.
The length of the vocal tract is correlated with speaker size and, so, speech sounds have information about the size of the speaker in a form that is interpretable by the listener. A wide range of different vocal tract lengths exist in the population and humans are able to distinguish speaker size from the speech. Smith et al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 117, 305-318 (2005)] presented vowel sounds to ...
متن کاملInfluences of vowel duration on speaker-size estimation and discrimination
Several experimental studies have shown that the human auditory system has a mechanism for extracting speaker-size information, using sufficiently long sounds. This paper investigated influence of vowel duration on the processing for size extraction using short vowels. In a size estimation experiment, listeners subjectively estimated the size (height) of the speaker for isolated vowels. The res...
متن کاملSyllable based Feature-Contours for Speaker Recognition
The use of acoustic short-time features for speaker identification has established itself for several years. In this work, classical acoustic as well as prosodic features are jointly used in a lexical context. The contours of pitch, energy and cepstral coefficients are continuously modeled over the time span of a syllable to capture the speaking style on phonetic level. Especially the addition ...
متن کاملAutomatic extraction of paraphrastic phrases from medium-size corpora
This paper presents a versatile system intended to acquire paraphrastic phrases from a representative corpus. In order to decrease the time spent on the elaboration of resources for NLP system (for example Information Extraction, IE hereafter), we suggest to use a knowledge acquisition module that helps extracting new information despite linguistic variation (textual entailment). This knowledge...
متن کاملEnhanced Syllable Discrimination Thresholds in Musicians
Speech processing inherently relies on the perception of specific, rapidly changing spectral and temporal acoustic features. Advanced acoustic perception is also integral to musical expertise, and accordingly several studies have demonstrated a significant relationship between musical training and superior processing of various aspects of speech. Speech and music appear to overlap in spectral a...
