Analyzing distributional learning of phonemic categories in unsupervised deep neural networks
Infants' speech perception adapts to the phonemic categories of their native language, a process assumed to be driven by the distributional properties of speech. This study investigates whether deep neural networks (DNNs), the current state-of-the-art in distributional feature learning, are capable of learning phoneme-like representations of speech in an unsupervised manner. We trained DNNs wit...
متن کاملAssessing cerebral representations of short and long vowel categories by NIRS.
The present study examined cerebral representations of Japanese long and short vowel categories with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) by measuring the hemodynamic changes. Results showed that NIRS could capture phoneme-specific information. The left side of the auditory area showed large hemodynamic changes only for contrasting stimuli between which the phonemic boundary was estimated, but not...
متن کاملSyntactic Features in Morphology: General Problems of So-called Pronominal Inflection in German
where each morpheme represents a class of allomorphs from which the proper member must be chosen according to highly idiosyncratic rules.' The principles and details of this conception were worked out most carefully by Harris.' The shortcomings of such an approach have been pointed out by Chomsky:' it prevents one from making the most of the linguistically interesting generalizations. At the sa...
متن کاملSubjective Confidence of Acoustic and Phonemic Representations During Speech Perception
Although many speech perception studies have suggested that long-term memory representations of phonemes induce categorical perception along an acoustic continuum (e.g., voice-onset time; VOT) when identifying speech sounds, other studies have suggested that acoustic information is preserved and that graded responses can be observed in within-category comparisons. Using subjective confidence re...
متن کاملEditorial: Neural Mechanisms of Perceptual Categorization as Precursors to Speech Perception
This research topic describes recent advances in understanding the brain functional organization for sensory categorization along with its implications for speech perception. Among the 14 papers, one theme is how neural representations of auditory and visual input are transformed across different scales of neural organization to enable speech perception, and another is the neural mechanisms of ...
