We study the phonetic information in the signal from an ultrasonic “microphone”, a device that emits an ultrasonic wave toward a speaker and receives the reflected, Doppler-s...
This paper presents the Kachna Corpus of Spontaneous Speech, in which ten Czech and ten Norwegian speakers were recorded both in their native language and in English. The dialogue...
A novel speaker-adaptive learning algorithm is developed and evaluated for a hidden trajectory model of speech coarticulation and reduction. Central to this model is the process o...
While automatic methods for phonetic segmentation of speech can help with rapid annotation of corpora, most methods rely either on manually segmented data to initially train the p...
Spelling speech recognition can be applied for several purposes including enhancement of speech recognition systems and implementation of name retrieval systems. This paper presen...
