Right Hemisphere Regions Critical for Expression of Emotion Through Prosody
Frontiers in Neurology, 2018 Impaired expression of emotion through pitch, loudness, rate, and rhythm of speech (affective prosody) is common and disabling after right hemisphere (RH) stroke. These deficits impede all social interactions.

Visual Gestures of the Head and Eyebrows Support Prosody Perception for Individuals with Cochlear Implants [PDF]
Trends in HearingVisual gestures, especially head movements and eyebrow raises, are time-locked to acoustic cues during the expression of spoken prosody. The present study examined the role these visual cues play in prosody perception, particularly for individuals with ...

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) (

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

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.

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

Emotional prosody perception and production are linked in prelingually deaf children with cochlear implantsa) [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2023 Links between perception and production of emotional prosody by children with cochlear implants (CIs) have not been extensively explored. In this study, production and perception of emotional prosody were measured in 20 prelingually deaf school-age ...

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 ...
