A perceptual study of speaker age
The present paper examines listeners’ ability to judge speaker age from stimuli consisting of phonated isolated words, and also suggests subdivision (categorisation) of voices into typical and atypical groups, depending on the listeners’ age estimating abilities.
متن کاملCross-lingual Speaker Adaptation for HMM-based Speech Synthesis based on Perceptual Characteristics and Speaker Interpolation
This paper proposes a cross-lingual speaker adaptation (CLSA) method based on perceptual characteristics (PCs). To develop a CLSA system, a state mapping (SM) based method has been recently proposed. This method extracts speaker characteristics directly from source acoustic features as linear transforms and applies them to target models. However, it is difficult to completely eliminate language...
متن کاملEffects of stimulus contents and speaker familiarity on perceptual speaker identification
1. Introduction In daily conversation, listeners use both phonological and speaker information of the utterance in order to achieve successful communication [1]. It is reported that the processing of the phonological content and that of the speaker identity occur separately, although they interact with each other [1,2]. One example of this interaction is that certain sounds are effective for pe...
متن کاملLombard speech impact on perceptual speaker recognition
It is well known that stress and Lombard effect impact speech production. The goal in this study is to investigate how Lombard effect impacts perceptual speaker recognition. We report results from In-Set/Out-of-Set speaker identification (ID) tasks performed by human subjects with a comparison to automatic algorithms. The main trends show that mismatch in reference and test data causes a signif...
متن کاملPerceptual speaker identification using monosyllabic stimuli - effects of the nucleus vowels and speaker characteristics contained in nasals
The goal of our research is to find out the acoustical correlates of human perception of speaker identity. In this study we investigated the effects of the stimulus contents on perceptual speaker identification. Forty-eight monosyllables were used as the stimuli for identifying four male speakers. The results showed that the syllables containing a coronal nasal yielded higher identification acc...
