Acoustic effects of style of speech [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974
Recordings were made of nine subjects producing test words in seven different styles, varying from completely informal conversation to reading the test words in lists. The subjects were all educated male speakers of standard English who had lived in Southern California from an early age.

A Pronunciation Prior Assisted Vowel Reduction Detection Framework with Multi-Stream Attention Method

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Vowel reduction is a common pronunciation phenomenon in stress-timed languages like English. Native speakers tend to weaken unstressed vowels into a schwa-like sound.

Hierarchical Attention and Knowledge Matching Networks With Information Enhancement for End-to-End Task-Oriented Dialog Systems

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
Nowadays, most end-to-end task-oriented dialog systems are based on sequence-to-sequence (Seq2seq), which is an encoder-decoder framework. These systems sometimes produce grammatically correct, but logically incorrect responses.

Restricted Boltzmann Machine-Based Approaches for Link Prediction in Dynamic Networks

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Link prediction in dynamic networks aims to predict edges according to historical linkage status. It is inherently difficult because of the linear/non-linear transformation of underlying structures.

A Complementary Effect in Active Control of Powertrain and Road Noise in the Vehicle Interior

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
This study shows that a concurrent active noise control strategy for engine harmonics and road noise has a complementary effect. In particular, we found that engine booming noise is additionally attenuated when road noise control is concurrently used ...

Acoustics of speech and environmental Sounds

open access: yesProceedings of International Conferences of Experimental Linguistics, 2019
In this study we present a preliminary acoustic analysis of environmental sound stimuli, based on Gaver’s (1993) classification. Results showed similarities between sounds produced by objects with the same type of material and interaction. We also designed an experiment, where the subjects had to propose onomatopoeic representations for environmental ...

Improving Hybrid CTC/Attention Architecture with Time-Restricted Self-Attention CTC for End-to-End Speech Recognition

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
As demonstrated in hybrid connectionist temporal classification (CTC)/Attention architecture, joint training with a CTC objective is very effective to solve the misalignment problem existing in the attention-based end-to-end automatic speech recognition (
