Distinctive feature fusion for recognition of australian English consonants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Audio-Visual Automatic Speech Recognition offers to make speech recognition possible in noisy environments. Early and late fusion approaches dominate the field but may ignore linguistically relevant features. Distinctive features offer an alternative unit for fusion and research has shown that this is feasible on subsets of phonemes [1]. This paper outlines two extended models, multi-class and binary, and results suggest that it is possible to achieve a 20dB gain over audio-only recognition in low SNR environments.

Recognition of Plosives in Running Speech
In this paper the authors propose a completely automatic speake r independent system to recognize a ll six stop consonants in continuous speech. Thi s system makes use of three differe nt distinctive features including formant transitions, silent interval and voice onset time. One hundred and twenty sentences from six English speakers were selected and tested by the system. The results confirm ...
متن کاملDistinctive features and errors in short-term memory for English consonants.
Errors in short-term recall of 23 English consonants were tabulated and related to three distinctive-feature systems. The consonants were always presented in initial position in a consonant-vowel diagram, and the vowel was always/a/. Subjects were instructed to copy a list of consonants a it was being presented, followed by recall of the list. Perceptual errors were excluded from the recall-err...

Introduction To extract and combine information from different modalities, fusion techniques are commonly applied to promote system performance. In this study, we aimed to examine the effectiveness of fusion techniques in emotion recognition. Materials and Methods Electrocardiogram (ECG) and galvanic skin responses (GSR) of 11 healthy female students (mean age: 22.73±1.68 years) were collected ...

متن کاملDistinctive feature detection using support vector machines
An important aspect of distinctive feature based approaches to automatic speech recognition is the formulation of a framework for robust detection of these features. We discuss the application of the support vector machines (SVM) that arise when the structural risk minimization principle is applied to such feature detection problems. In particular, we describe the problem of detecting stop cons...
