Measurements of articulatory variation in expressive speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a method for acquiring data for facial movements to be analysed for implementation in an animated talking head. We will show preliminary data on how a number of articulatory parameters vary under the influence of expressiveness in speech and gestures. Primarily we focused on expressive gestures and emotions conveying information that is intended to make the animated agent more ''human-like'' as described in the objectives of the PF-Star project (Preparing future multisensorial interaction research).

Measurements of articulatory variation and communicative signals in expressive speech
This paper describes a method for acquiring data for facial movement analysis and implementation in an animated talking head. We will also show preliminary data on how a number of articulatory and facial parameters for some Swedish vowels vary under the influence of expressiveness in speech and gestures. Primarily we have been concerned in expressive gestures and emotions conveying information ...
متن کاملSpeech Variation and the Use of Distance Metrics on the Articulatory Feature Space
This paper describes ongoing research on the relation between variation in speech in the articulatory-acoustic domain and the variation as represented in the symbolic domain. More specifically, we address variation in speech as represented by articulatory features, and the description of variation in phone annotation and segmentation. Variation in speech is quantified by using distance metrics ...
متن کاملRelations between acoustic and articulatory measurements of /l/
Variation in the production of English /l/ has received significant study. It has been characterized in terms of categorical allophones, in terms of acoustic properties, and in terms of articulatory timing. Using a parallel corpus of acoustic-articulatory data from two speakers of American English, this study looks at the relations between acoustic and articulatory measurements of /l/ across wo...
متن کاملOn speech variation and word type differentiation by articulatory feature representations
This paper describes ongoing research aiming at the descrip tion of variation in speech as represented by asynchronous ar ticulatory features. We will first illustrate how distances in the articulatory feature space can be used for event detection along speech trajectories in this space. The temporal structure imposed by the cosine distance in articulatory feature space coincides to a large e...
متن کاملArticulatory Strengthening and Prosodic Hierarchy
This paper reports a set of results based on the spectral and EPG measurements to the read speech copra in Mandarin Chinese, aim at the observation on the relationship between articulatory strengthening and prosody hierarchy. The data obtained both from acoustic and physiological measurements indicate that, articulatory manifestation of any segment in real speech are closely relevant to their p...
