Speaker-Sex Discrimination for Voiced and Whispered Vowels at Short Durations
Whispered vowels, produced with no vocal fold vibration, lack the periodic temporal fine structure which in voiced vowels underlies the perceptual attribute of pitch (a salient auditory cue to speaker sex). Voiced vowels possess no temporal fine structure at very short durations (below two glottal cycles). The prediction was that speaker-sex discrimination performance for whispered and voiced v...
متن کاملSpeaker-independent Vowel Recognition: Spectrograms versus Cochleagrams
We examined the ability of multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) trained with backpropagation to classify vowels excised from natural continuous speech. Two spectral representations were compared: spectrograms and cochleagrams. The features used to train the MLPs included DFT or cochleagram coefficients from a single frame in the middle of the vowel, or coefficients from each third of the vowel. We al...
متن کاملDysarthric Speakers' Intrinsic Vowel Durations
This study uses the Nemours Database of Dysarthric Speech and the Buckeye Corpus of Conversational Speech to look into differences in the way vowel quality correlates with intrinsic duration in typical and non-typical populations. Results based on speech material from ten dysarthric subjects indicate that intrinsic vowel duration may indeed play a role as a parameter for acoustic classification.
متن کاملPerception of speaker age, sex and vowel quality
This paper deals with the perception of linguistic and paralinguistic qualities conveyed by synthetic vowels produced with an articulatory model in which transfer functions of the French vowels /i y e ø œ/ characteristic of five growth stages were each combined with five different F0 values. Listeners had to judge the speaker's age and sex in addition to vowel quality. Four subgroups of liste...
متن کاملFuzzy Sets and Decisionmaking Approaches in Vowel and Speaker Recognition
Some applications based on the theory of fuzzy sets in problems of computer recognition of vowels and identifying the person from his spoken words using only the first three formants (F 1, F2, and F3) of the unknown utterance are presented. Two decision algorithmic methods using weighted-distance functions and property sets are developed and implemented with the optimum size of the training set...
