Landmark-based consonant voicing detection on multilingual corpora
This paper tests the hypothesis that distinctive feature classifiers anchored at phonetic landmarks can be transferred crosslingually without loss of accuracy. Three consonant voicing classifiers were developed: (1) manually selected acoustic features anchored at a phonetic landmark, (2) MFCCs (either averaged across the segment or anchored at the landmark), and (3) acoustic features computed u...
متن کاملConsonant landmark detection for speech recognition
This thesis focuses on the detection of abrupt acoustic discontinuities in the speech signal, which constitute landmarks for consonant sounds. Because a large amount of phonetic information is concentrated near acoustic discontinuities, more focused speech analysis and recognition can be performed based on the landmarks. Three types of consonant landmarks are defined according to its characteri...
متن کاملCorpus-Based Investigations on the Phonetics of Consonant Voicing*
Within and across languages the realization of consonant voicing is highly variable. This study aims to identify, and quantify, the segmental, prosodic and positional factors that have an influence on consonant voicing. A widely used acoustic measure of voicing, viz. voice onset time, is known to have disadvantages both in a cross-linguistic framework, where it fails to provide sufficient Infor...
متن کاملTactual Display of Consonant Voicing
This research is concerned with the development of tactual displays to supplement the information available through lipreading. Because voicing carries a high informational load in speech and is not well transmitted through lipreading, the efforts are focused on providing tactual displays of voicing to supplement the information available on the lips of the talker. This research includes explor...
متن کاملObstruent Consonant Landmark Detection in Thai Continuous Speech
The presence of obstruent consonants constitutes key landmark events with cues that indicate abrupt acoustic discontinuities in the speech signal. Such discontinuities allow further analysis and recognition to be performed in knowledge-based speech recognition systems. This paper describes an acoustical investigation on Thai obstruent consonant detection using average level crossing rate (ALCR)...
