Exploring the Effect of Differences in the Acoustic Correlates of Adults' and Children's Speech in the Context of Automatic Speech Recognition

EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing, 2010
This work explores the effect of mismatches between adults' and children's speech due to differences in various acoustic correlates on the automatic speech recognition performance under mismatched conditions.

Mandarin speech‐based early detection of SCD: a feature‐fusion residual network method

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a global health challenge. Early intervention during the stage of subjective cognitive decline (SCD) – a potential window for delaying disease progression – is crucial. This study aims to assess an exploratory speech‐based model for rapid SCD screening.

Speech‐Like Vibrotactile Stimulation Is Associated With Enhanced Cortical Activations in Single‐Sided Deafness: An fMRI Study

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 10, May 2026.
Using fMRI during somatosensory stimulation with fixed‐frequency and speech‐derived vibrotactile signals, normal‐hearing adults showed stronger stimulus selectivity in primary somatosensory cortex, with greater responses to simple periodic vibrations.

Estimation of formant frequencies using machine learning

, 2019
This Master's thesis deals with the issue of formant extraction. A system of scripts in Matlab interface is created to generate values of the first three formant frequencies from speech recordings with the use of Praat and Snack(WaveSurfer).

Exploring Acoustic Overlap in Second Language Vowel Productions

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 1293-1304, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines the alignment of vowel categories between second language (L2) learners and first language (L1) speakers of the target language, as well as potential overlaps between adjacent vowels in terms of formant frequencies and duration.

Introducing the Archive of Pittsburgh Language and Speech, a Publicly Accessible, Richly Annotated Corpus of Sociolinguistic Interviews

Language and Linguistics Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The troves of speech data that have driven an increasing orientation towards large‐scale methods in linguistics have been, for the most part, available only to closed teams of researchers and their collaborators. The Archive of Pittsburgh Language and Speech (APLS, https://apls.pitt.edu) is a new open data resource, consisting of nearly 46 h ...

Do herbicides and pesticides in domestic gardens threaten wildlife in the United Kingdom and Ireland?

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Preregistered rapid review finds just four studies in the United Kingdom and Ireland which assess pesticide use and wild species abundance or diversity in domestic gardens. These studies either reported negative effects of pesticide use or no significant effect, so we recommend chemical‐free gardening to support biodiversity.

Influences of transformed auditory feedback with first three formant frequencies [PDF]

, 2011
Auditory feedback is one of important roles from speech production to perception. It also directly affects speech production under several feedback situations, such as noise environment, delayed auditory feedback (DAF) and transformed auditory feedback ...

Motherhood and Sex Predict Emotional Reactivity During a Predator Confrontation in Two Macaque Species

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 4, April 2026.
Maternal status, sex, and species influence emotional responses to predator exposure. Mothers show stronger physiological responses, while males and non‐mothers show stronger behavioral responses. Long‐tailed macaques show initially stronger physiological and behavioral responses. Vocal behavior, however, did not differ across groups.
