Abstract— A continuous vocal imitation system was developed using a computational model that explains the process of phoneme acquisition by infants. Human infants perceive speech...
In this paper, we describe an experiment to evolve oral tract (mouth) shapes for a set of vowels for two adult males. Target vowels were recorded in an acoustically anechoic room ...

Previously we have proposed different models for estimating articulatory gestures and vocal tract variable (TV) trajectories from synthetic speech. We have shown that when deploye...

— This paper proposes a computational model for phoneme acquisition by infants. Human infants perceive speech sounds not as discrete phoneme sequences but as continuous acoustic ...
