A Deep Generative Model of Vowel Formant Typology [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 What makes some types of languages more probable than others? For instance, we know that almost all spoken languages contain the vowel phoneme /i/; why should that be?

Development of categorical speech perception in Mandarin‐speaking children and adolescents
Child Development, Volume 94, Issue 1, Page 28-43, January/February 2023., 2023 Abstract Although children develop categorical speech perception at a very young age, the maturation process remains unclear. A cross‐sectional study in Mandarin‐speaking 4‐, 6‐, and 10‐year‐old children, 14‐year‐old adolescents, and adults (n = 104, 56 males, all Asians from mainland China) was conducted to investigate the development of categorical ...

Formant Tracking Using Quasi-Closed Phase Forward-Backward Linear Prediction Analysis and Deep Neural Networks [PDF]
Published in IEEE ACCESS. Vol. 9, 2021, pp. 151631-151640, 2022 Formant tracking is investigated in this study by using trackers based on dynamic programming (DP) and deep neural nets (DNNs). Using the DP approach, six formant estimation methods were first compared. The six methods include linear prediction (LP) algorithms, weighted LP algorithms and the recently developed quasi-closed phase forward-backward (QCP ...

Acoustic analysis of Minjaee Luri vowels [PDF]
̒Ilm-i Zabān, 2022 Minjaee is the general name of some dialects of Luri that are known as Khorramabadi, Balageriveie, Silakhori, Boroujerdi, Malayeri, and so on. This study presents the acoustic parameters such as the first formant frequency and second formant frequency of

Journal of Zoology, Volume 318, Issue 4, Page 297-307, December 2022., 2022 Goat (Capra hircus) mothers and their kids display mutual recognition, and both source‐related (f0) and filter‐related (Formants) parameters have been shown to be individualized. Here, we aimed to identify if f0 and the Formants are used by goat kids to recognize their mother's vocalizations. We found no difference in kid reactions as a function of the

Time-Varying Quasi-Closed-Phase Analysis for Accurate Formant Tracking in Speech Signals [PDF]
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing,
Vol. 28, pp. 1901-1914, 2020, 2023 In this paper, we propose a new method for the accurate estimation and tracking of formants in speech signals using time-varying quasi-closed-phase (TVQCP) analysis. Conventional formant tracking methods typically adopt a two-stage estimate-and-track strategy wherein an initial set of formant candidates are estimated using short-time analysis (e.g., 10-

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 Despite ample evidence that speech production is associated with extensive trial-to-trial variability, it remains unclear whether this variability represents merely unwanted system noise or an actively regulated mechanism that is fundamental for ...
