Automatic detection of the context of acoustic landmark deletion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Earlier work has shown that the acoustic landmarks in speech [1,2], proposed to be important in lexical access, are largely preserved in spontaneous American English Speech [3]. Moreover, the loss of acoustic landmarks predicted from word’s lexical representation is systematic and predictable. This study reports preliminary analysis of factors that govern whether a landmark will be realized as predicted, or will be changed or apparently omitted. A classification tree is designed to predict the deletion/change or preservation of a landmark in a corpus of spontaneous American English using contextual factors that include prosody, word structure, morphosyntactic categories and landmark type.

Persian Phone Recognition Using Acoustic Landmarks and Neural Network-based variability compensation methods
Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...
متن کاملAllophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملA probabilistic framework for landmark detection based on phonetic features for automatic speech recognition.
A probabilistic framework for a landmark-based approach to speech recognition is presented for obtaining multiple landmark sequences in continuous speech. The landmark detection module uses as input acoustic parameters (APs) that capture the acoustic correlates of some of the manner-based phonetic features. The landmarks include stop bursts, vowel onsets, syllabic peaks and dips, fricative onse...

متن کاملMining Frequent Patterns in Uncertain and Relational Data Streams using the Landmark Windows
Todays, in many modern applications, we search for frequent and repeating patterns in the analyzed data sets. In this search, we look for patterns that frequently appear in data set and mark them as frequent patterns to enable users to make decisions based on these discoveries. Most algorithms presented in the context of data stream mining and frequent pattern detection, work either on uncertai...
