Acoustic-Phonetic Decoding of Speech

1988
Several methods for acoustic-phonetic decoding are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the need for mathematical methods for speech recognition. Several examples of statistical methods are described. The author presents several techniques for incorporating “speech knowledge” into these statistical models, and provides a simple formalism for using multiple ...

From acoustic signal to phonetic message

Journal of Communication Disorders, 1975
Among the distinctive properties of language as a medium of communication is its “duality of patterning” (Hackett, 1958), its construction of a pattern of meaning from patterned combinations of meaningless elements. The meaningless elements are the phonemes of linguistic theory and the distinctive features that compose them.

Acoustic phonetic research in speech understanding [PDF]

open access: possibleIEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1975
This paper describes the acoustic processing in a syntactically guided natural language speech understanding system. A major characteristic of this system is that through the interaction of pragmatic, semantic, and syntactic information, candidate words are proposed to exist at specific points in the acoustic stream.

APS: An environment for acoustic phonetic research

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1989
Continuous speech recognition systems based on acoustic phonetic features demand characterization of the relationship between phonetic segments and their acoustic values. This paper describes a software environment for exploring this relationship. The software system is known as APS—acoustic phonentic research with S (the standard UNIX statistical ...

Articulatory and acoustic phonetics of voice actors

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020
Voice actors are an under-utilized population for linguistic study. This type of vocal performance requires actors to perform careful, consistent, and precise vocal tract manipulations to portray different character types such as imitating a dialect or performing complex manipulations that simulate a smaller vocal tract to sound younger. There has been

A note on classification experiments in acoustic phonetics

Journal of Phonetics, 1995
In recent years, several classification experiments have addressed the value of global spectral properties for the classification of stop consonants by humans or machines. The results of some of these studies seem to be at variance with each other.

Acoustic-phonetic analysis of Spanish /I/

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1987
Acoustic measurements to examine the contribution of overlapping segments—anticipatory and carryover coarticulations—to the identification of American Spanish /I/ were performed. The consonant was combined with five vowels in naturally produced CV, VC, VCV, and CCV syllables.

Tools for education in acoustics and phonetics

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
We have developed a series of tools for education in acoustics and phonetics. Some of them are in electronic form, while some are physical models. A set of demonstrations and explanations in acoustic phonetics is now available as “Acoustic-Phonetics Demonstrations (APD)” through our WebSite: www.splab.net/APD/.

DWT-based classification of acoustic-phonetic classes and phonetic units

Interspeech 2004, 2004
Abstract In this paper, we describe a new algorithm based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) which uses a multi-threshold decision model (MTD model) to detect acoustic and phonetic classes (based on 10ms speech signal segments). The best thresholds of the model are found by using experimental pattern classification. Then a unit level interpolation

Acoustic-phonetic modeling in the SPICOS system

IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing, 1994
This paper deals with the acoustic-phonetic modeling developed in the SPICOS recognition system. The phoneme units are represented by variants of hidden Markov models and are refined step-by-step to improve the recognition performance. Two different approaches to modeling the emission probabilities are investigated, namely discrete models and ...
