Vowel spectra, vowel spaces, and vowel identification.
Twelve Dutch vowels, each pronounced by 50 male speakers, were analyzed in 18 filter bands comparable in bandwidth with the cat's critical band. By considering the sound levels (in decibels) in these filter bands as dimensions, with a principal-component analysis the 18 dimensions per sound were reduced to four factors which together explain 75% of the total variance. The configuration of the a...
متن کاملSmoothed Time/frequency Features for Vowel Classification
A novel signal modeling technique is described to compute smoothed time-frequency features for encoding speech information. These time-frequency features compactly and accurately model phonetic information, while accounting for the main effects of contextual variations. These segment-level features are computed such that more emphasis is given to the center of the segment and less to the end re...
متن کاملExtracting cluster distributions from mass spectra: IsotopeFit
The availability of high resolution mass spectrometry in the study of atomic and molecular clusters opens up challenges for the interpretation of the data. In complex systems each resolved mass peak may contain contributions from multiple species because of the isotope structure of constituent elements and because a multitude of different types of clusters with different compositions are presen...
متن کاملFrequency warped modeling of vowel spectra: Dependence on vowel quality
The compact representation of harmonic amplitudes in the sinusoidal coding of speech is an important problem in low bit rate speech compression. A widely used method to achieve this is by the all-pole modeling of the spectral envelope. Often a perceptually warped frequency scale is applied in the all-pole modeling to improve perceived accuracy at low model orders. In this work, an attempt is ma...
متن کاملExtracting Summary Sample Characteristics from Epidemiology Tables
Epidemiology papers frequently provide a tabular summary describing the sample included in the study. Unfortunately, because this information is generally stored within the report itself, it is necessary for readers to physically acquire and read (at least the beginning of) any given paper in order to ascertain whether its sample has relevance to their own research. However, making this informa...
