Better HMM-Based Articulatory Feature Extraction with Context-Dependent Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The majority of speech recognition systems today commonly use Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as acoustic models in systems since they can powerfully train and map a speech utterance into a sequence of units. Such systems perform even better if the units are context-dependent. Analogously, when HMM techniques are applied to the problem of articulatory feature extraction, contextdependent articulatory features should definitely yield a better result. This paper shows a possible strategy to extend a typical HMM-based articulatory feature extraction system into a context-dependent version which exhibits higher

Backing-off Context- & Gender-dependent Models for Better Articulatory Feature Extraction
The majority of speech recognition systems today commonly use Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) as acoustic models in systems since they can powerfully train and map a speech utterance into a sequence of units. Such systems perform even better if the units employed are context-dependent and gender-dependent. Analogously, when HMM technology is applied to the problem of articulatory feature extraction...
متن کاملComparative Study: HMM&SVM for Automatic Articulatory Feature Extraction
Generally speech recognition systems make use of acoustic features as a representation of speech for further processing. These acoustic features are usually based on human auditory perception or signal processing. More recently, Articulatory Feature (AF) based speech representations have been investigated by a number of speech technology researchers. Articulatory features are motivated by lingu...

متن کاملVowel Creation by Articulatory Control in HMM-based Parametric Speech Synthesis
Hidden Markov model (HMM)-based parametric speech synthesis has become a mainstream speech synthesis method in recent years. This method is able to synthesise highly intelligible and smooth speech sounds. In addition, it makes speech synthesis far more flexible compared to the conventional unit selection and waveform concatenation approach. Several adaptation and interpolation methods have been...
متن کاملFeature-Space Transform Tying in Unified Acoustic-Articulatory Modelling for Articulatory Control of HMM-Based Speech Synthesis
In previous work, we have proposed a method to control the characteristics of synthetic speech flexibly by integrating articulatory features into hidden Markov model (HMM) based parametric speech synthesis. A unified acoustic-articulatory model was trained and a piecewise linear transform was adopted to describe the dependency between these two feature streams. The transform matrices were train...
