Detecting Determinism in Speech Phonemes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a discriminating approach to detecting the existence of underlying determinism in speech phonemes using the surrogate data method. The discrimination is made using a statistical measurement of neighboring trajectory directions. This approach is experimentally verified with both deterministic and stochastic time series and then applied to speech phonemes from the TIMIT database. The results show that vowels present some degree of determinism, while no evidence is observed showing that determinism exists with either voiced or unvoiced fricatives.

This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...
متن کاملPhoneme recognition in continuous speech using feature selection based on mutual information
This paper describes an optimal statistical method to recognize phonemes in continuous speech. The novelty of this method is to search the most effective acoustic features in each acoustic Ievel using the criterion of mutual information between acoustic feature vectors and phoneme Iabels assigned to the speech wave. In the proposed method for phoneme recognition using multiple acoustic features...
