Domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) recognise meaningful content in monotonous streams of read speech. [PDF]
Anim CognDomestic dogs (Canis familiaris) can recognize basic phonemic information from human speech and respond to commands. Commands are typically presented in isolation with exaggerated prosody known as dog-directed speech (DDS) register.

On the Utility of Self-Supervised Models for Prosody-Related Tasks [PDF]
Spoken Language Technology Workshop, 2022 Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) from speech data has produced models that have achieved remarkable performance in many tasks, and that are known to implicitly represent many aspects of information latently present in speech signals.

Text-Free Prosody-Aware Generative Spoken Language Modeling [PDF]
Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2021 Speech pre-training has primarily demonstrated efficacy on classification tasks, while its capability of generating novel speech, similar to how GPT-2 can generate coherent paragraphs, has barely been explored. Generative Spoken Language Modeling (GSLM) (

Prosospeech: Enhancing Prosody with Quantized Vector Pre-Training in Text-To-Speech [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2022 Expressive text-to-speech (TTS) has become a hot research topic recently, mainly focusing on modeling prosody in speech. Prosody modeling has several challenges: 1) the extracted pitch used in previous prosody modeling works have inevitable errors, which

A New Approach to the Persian Prosodies based on Music Tetrachords [PDF]
Literary Arts, 2021 There is no doubt that the quantitative meter is the essence of music and prosodies, providing the link between poetry and music. In addition to the time priority that music has over prosodies, the similarity between these elements makes it apparent that

Prosody Is Not Identity: A Speaker Anonymization Approach Using Prosody Cloning
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2023 Prosody is closely linked to the identity of a speaker, leading to individual pitch and intonation patterns. Therefore, it is challenging in speaker anonymization to generate speech utterances that both keep the original audio’s main prosodic structure ...

Fully-Hierarchical Fine-Grained Prosody Modeling For Interpretable Speech Synthesis [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2020 This paper proposes a hierarchical, fine-grained and interpretable latent variable model for prosody based on the Tacotron 2 text-to-speech model. It achieves multi-resolution modeling of prosody by conditioning finer level representations on coarser ...

Generating Diverse and Natural Text-to-Speech Samples Using a Quantized Fine-Grained VAE and Autoregressive Prosody Prior [PDF]
IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2020 Recent neural text-to-speech (TTS) models with fine-grained latent features enable precise control of the prosody of synthesized speech. Such models typically incorporate a fine-grained variational autoencoder (VAE) structure, extracting latent features ...

CopyCat: Many-to-Many Fine-Grained Prosody Transfer for Neural Text-to-Speech [PDF]
Interspeech, 2020 Prosody Transfer (PT) is a technique that aims to use the prosody from a source audio as a reference while synthesising speech. Fine-grained PT aims at capturing prosodic aspects like rhythm, emphasis, melody, duration, and loudness, from a source audio ...

Mark my words: tone of voice changes affective word representations in memory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The present study explored the effect of speaker prosody on the representation of words in memory. To this end, participants were presented with a series of words and asked to remember the words for a subsequent recognition test. During study, words were
