When speaker identity is unavoidable: Neural processing of speaker identity cues in natural speech.
Speech sound acoustic properties vary largely across speakers and accents. When perceiving speech, adult listeners normally disregard non-linguistic variation caused by speaker or accent differences, in order to comprehend the linguistic message, e.g. to correctly identify a speech sound or a word. Here we tested whether the process of normalizing speaker and accent differences, facilitating th...
متن کاملSpeech compression with preservation of speaker identity
Although much e ort has been directed recently towards speech compression at rates below 4 kb/s, the primary metric for comparison has, understandably, been the amount of spectral distortion in the decompressed speech. However, an aspect which is becoming important in some applications is the ability to identify the original speaker from the coded speech algorithmically. We investigate here the...
متن کاملChildren’s Perception of Speaker Identity
Speaker identification is a challenge for cochlear implant users because their prosthesis restricts access to the cues that underlie natural voice quality. The present thesis examined speaker recognition in the context of spectrally degraded sentences. The listeners of interest were child implant users who were prelingually deaf as well as hearing children and adults who listened to speech via ...
متن کاملRobust Speech Coding for the Preservation of Speaker Identity
Low bitrate speech coding usually requires robustness to a wide range of speakers. The problem which we report on here is one where the compression rate must be maximized for the purposes of archival, but the compressed information must be available at a later date for the purposes of identifying a new speaker. The new speaker may or may not have been recorded in the archived database. As would...
متن کاملAnalysis of Parameter Importance in Speaker Identity
We present the analysis performed over eleven speakers (five women and 6 men) in order to obtain the most important parameters as far as speaker identity is concerned. Parameters that have been studied are F0, six formants, five bandwidths and four source parameters. Feature selection is based on linear discriminant analysis. Results show that the most relevant parameter is F0, followed by form...
