Intelligibility Is More Than a Single Word: Quantification of Speech Intelligibility by ASR and Prosody
In this paper we examine the quality of the prediction of intelligibility scores of human experts. Furthermore, we investigate the differences between subjective expert raters who evaluated speech disorders of laryngectomees and children with cleft lip and palate. We use the recognition rate of a word recognizer and prosodic features to predict the intelligibility score of each individual exper...
متن کاملNeural representation of amplified speech sounds.
OBJECTIVE To determine if (1) evoked potentials elicited by amplified speech sounds (/si/ and /[symbol: see text]/) can be recorded reliably in individuals, (2) amplification alters neural response patterns, and (3) different amplified speech sounds evoke different neural patterns. DESIGN Cortical evoked potentials were recorded in sound field from seven normal-hearing young adults in respons...
متن کاملCortical sensitivity to periodicity of speech sounds.
Previous non-invasive brain research has reported auditory cortical sensitivity to periodicity as reflected by larger and more anterior responses to periodic than to aperiodic vowels. The current study investigated whether there is a lower fundamental frequency (F0) limit for this effect. Auditory evoked fields (AEFs) elicited by natural-sounding 400 ms periodic and aperiodic vowel stimuli were...
متن کاملWord intelligibility estimation of noise-reduced speech
It is indispensable to establish an objective test methodology for noise-reduced speech. This paper proposes a new methodology which estimates word intelligibility of the noise-reduced speech from PESQ MOS (subjective MOS estimated by the PESQ). To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology, a word intelligibility test of the noise-reduced speech was performed by using four noise re...
متن کاملSpeech Facilitation by Left Inferior Frontal Cortex Stimulation
Electrophysiological studies in humans and animals suggest that noninvasive neurostimulation methods such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can elicit long-lasting [1], polarity-dependent [2] changes in neocortical excitability. Application of tDCS can have significant and selective behavioral consequences that are associated with the cortical location of the stimulation electro...
