Systolic architectures for connected speech recognition [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 1986
Systolic arrays for two connected speech recognition methods are presented. The first method is based on the dynamic time warping algorithm which is applied directly on acoustic feature patterns. The second method is the probabilistic matching algorithm which requires that the input sentence be preprocessed by a phonetic analyzer. It is shown that both

WORD BASED TAMIL SPEECH RECOGNITION USING TEMPORAL FEATURE BASED SEGMENTATION [PDF]

open access: yesICTACT Journal on Image and Video Processing, 2015
Speech recognition system requires segmentation of speech waveform into fundamental acoustic units. Segmentation is a process of decomposing the speech signal into smaller units.

Insights into L2 connected speech segmentation: A gating experiment with listeners of different English proficiency levels

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2023
The relative contribution of bottom-up (i.e. acoustic-phonetic) and top-down (i.e. contextual) cues for successful L2 online segmentation is still a matter of debate. This study used the gating paradigm to investigate the segmentation processes of adult

Progressive Speech Enhancement with Residual Connections [PDF]

open access: yesInterspeech 2019, 2019
This paper studies the Speech Enhancement based on Deep Neural Networks. The proposed architecture gradually follows the signal transformation during enhancement by means of a visualization probe at each network block. Alongside the process, the enhancement performance is visually inspected and evaluated in terms of regression cost.

A Comparison of Connected Speech Tasks for Detecting Early Alzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment Using Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning

open access: yesFrontiers in Computer Science, 2021
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has a long pre-clinical period, and so there is a crucial need for early detection, including of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).

How Mastery of Linking, Reduction and Assimilation Predicts EFL Learners’ TOEFL Listening Proficiency

open access: yesJournal of English Teaching and Applied Linguistics
TOEFL is an international benchmark of academic English proficiency, yet its listening section remains the most demanding because it requires the rapid, real-time processing of natural speech.

Spoken discourse in Alzheimer' disease: a review

open access: yesLinguistica, 2012
In its typical form, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) manifests with early impairment in episodic memory. Evidence suggests that language deficits also occur early on in the disease process, and can be detected at the preclinical stage, suggesting that language

The combination of rhythm and pitch can account for the beneficial effect of Melodic intonation therapy on connected speech improvements in Broca’s aphasia

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Melodic intonation therapy (MIT) is a structured protocol for language rehabilitation in people with Broca’s aphasia. The main particularity of MIT is the use of intoned-speech, a technique in which the clinician stylizes the prosody of short sentences ...

Lexical access in connected speech recognition [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 27th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1989
This paper addresses two issues concerning lexical access in connected speech recognition: 1) the nature of the pre-lexical representation used to initiate lexical lookup 2) the points at which lexical look-up is triggered off this representation. The results of an experiment are reported which was designed to evaluate a number of access strategies ...
