The fundamental frequency variation spectrum
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a recently introduced vector-valued representation of fundamental frequency variation – the FFV spectrum – which has a number of desirable properties. In particular, it is instantaneous, continuous, distributed, and well-suited to application of standard acoustic modeling techniques. We show what the representation looks like, and how it can be used to model prosodic sequences.

A Feasible Solution to Distinguish the Transformer Winding Deformation from Insulation Characteristic Impacts on FRA Spectrum
Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is popular technique which has been used since the last decade as a diagnostic method for transformers. However, accurate interpretation of FRA measurements is still challenging. Recent studies reveal that apart from winding deformation, FRA data can also be influenced by moisture variation in transformer paper insulation. Hence, a specific transformer’s model ...
متن کاملLearning Prosodic Sequences Using the Fundamental Frequency Variation Spectrum
We investigate a recently introduced vector-valued representation of fundamental frequency variation, whose properties appear to be well-suited for statistical sequence modeling. We show what the representation looks like, and apply hidden Markov models to learn prosodic sequences characteristic of higher-level turn-taking phenomena. Our analysis shows that the models learn exactly those charac...
متن کاملDependence of Radar Emission Spectra on Measurement Bandwidth and Implications for Compliance with Emission Mask Criteria
Radar transmitter emission criteria normally include the specification of frequency-dependent emission masks. These masks specify the amount by which unwanted radar emissions (both out-of-band and spurious) must be suppressed relative to the power levels emitted at the radars fundamental frequencies. Compliance with emission masks is determined through measurements of emission spectra. The mea...
متن کاملFault Detection Method on a Compressor Rotor Using the Phase Variation of the Vibration Signal
The aim of this work is the application of the phase variation in vibration signal for fault detection on rotating machines. The vibration signal from the machine is modulated in amplitude and phase around a carrier frequency. The modulating signal in phase is determined after the Hilbert transform and is used, with the Fast Fourier Transform, to extract the harmonics spectrum in phase. This me...
متن کاملA Snack Implementation and Tcl/Tk Interface to the Fundamental Frequency Variation Spectrum Algorithm
Intonation is an important aspect of vocal production, used for a variety of communicative needs. Its modeling is therefore crucial in many speech understanding systems, particularly those requiring inference of speaker intent in real-time. However, the estimation of pitch, traditionally the first step in intonation modeling, is computationally inconvenient in such scenarios. This is because it...
