Sparse non-negative decomposition of speech power spectra for formant tracking
Many works on speech processing have dealt with auto-regressive (AR) models for spectral envelope and formant frequency estimation, mostly focusing on the estimation of the AR par...

A logarithmic based pole-zero vocal tract model estimation for speaker verification
In this paper we investigate the use of formant and antiformant measurements of nasal consonants for speaker verification. The features are obtained using a pole-zero vocal tract...

Rhythm and formant features for automatic alcohol detection
Two speech feature sets, RMS rhythmicity and formant frequencies F1-F4, are analyzed for their ability to distinguish alcoholized from sober speech. We describe the statistical fr...

Effect of speaking style and speaking rate on formant contours
This paper presents the results of formant analysis using a newly developed formant contour model. We model formant contours with a linear combination of formant target values and...
