Speech segmentation in aphasia. [PDF]
Aphasiology, 2015 Speech segmentation is one of the initial and mandatory phases of language learning. Although some people with aphasia have shown a preserved ability to learn novel words, their speech segmentation abilities have not been explored.We examined the ability of individuals with chronic aphasia to segment words from running speech via statistical learning ...

Improving Dysarthric Speech Segmentation With Emulated and Synthetic Augmentation [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and MedicineAcoustic features extracted from speech can help with the diagnosis of neurological diseases and monitoring of symptoms over time. Temporal segmentation of audio signals into individual words is an important pre-processing step needed prior to extracting

Speech Segmentation Optimization using Segmented Bilingual Speech Corpus for End-to-end Speech Translation [PDF]
Interspeech 2022, 2022 Speech segmentation, which splits long speech into short segments, is essential for speech translation (ST). Popular VAD tools like WebRTC VAD have generally relied on pause-based segmentation.

Statistical learning for speech segmentation: Age-related changes and underlying mechanisms. [PDF]
Psychol Aging, 2018 Statistical learning (SL) is a powerful learning mechanism that supports word segmentation and language acquisition in infants and young adults. However, little is known about how this ability changes over the life span and interacts with age-related ...

Experience with a second language affects the use of fundamental frequency in speech segmentation. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2017 This study investigates whether listeners’ experience with a second language learned later in life affects their use of fundamental frequency (F0) as a cue to word boundaries in the segmentation of an artificial language (AL), particularly when the cues ...

Domain-general mechanisms for speech segmentation: The role of duration information in language learning. [PDF]
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform, 2017 Speech segmentation is supported by multiple sources of information that may either inform language processing specifically, or serve learning more broadly.

Tongue Contour Tracking and Segmentation in Lingual Ultrasound for Speech Recognition: A Review
Diagnostics, 2022 Lingual ultrasound imaging is essential in linguistic research and speech recognition. It has been used widely in different applications as visual feedback to enhance language learning for non-native speakers, study speech-related disorders and ...

Differential Gaze Patterns on Eyes and Mouth During Audiovisual Speech Segmentation. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2016 Speech is inextricably multisensory: both auditory and visual components provide critical information for all aspects of speech processing, including speech segmentation, the visual components of which have been the target of a growing number of studies.

Effects of the Native Language on the Learning of Fundamental Frequency in Second-Language Speech Segmentation. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2016 This study investigates whether the learning of prosodic cues to word boundaries in speech segmentation is more difficult if the native and second/foreign languages (L1 and L2) have similar (though non-identical) prosodies than if they have markedly ...
