Unsupervised Phoneme Segmentation Based on Main Energy Change for Arabic Speech

Journal of Telecommunications and Information Technology, 2017
In this paper, a new method for segmenting speech at the phoneme level is presented. For this purpose, author uses the short-time Fourier transform of the speech signal. The goal is to identify the locations of main energy changes in frequency over time,

Exploring the "anchor word" effect in infants: Segmentation and categorisation of speech with and without high frequency words.

PLoS ONE, 2020
High frequency words play a key role in language acquisition, with recent work suggesting they may serve both speech segmentation and lexical categorisation. However, it is not yet known whether infants can detect novel high frequency words in continuous

A summary of the 2012 JHU CLSP Workshop on Zero Resource Speech Technologies and Models of Early Language Acquisition [PDF]

, 2013
We summarize the accomplishments of a multi-disciplinary workshop exploring the computational and scientific issues surrounding zero resource (unsupervised) speech technologies and related models of early language acquisition.

Segmental Duration in Parkinsonian French Speech [PDF]

Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica, 2009
<i>Objectives: </i>The present study had 2 main objectives: (1) examine the effect of Parkinson’s disease (PD) on vowel and consonant duration in French read speech and (2) investigate whether the durational contrasts of consonants and vowels are maintained or compromised.

Portable Low‐Field Magnetic Resonance Imaging in People With Human Immunodeficiency Virus

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The aging population of people with HIV (PWH) raises heightened concerns regarding accelerated aging and dementia. Portable, low‐field MRI (LF‐MRI) is an innovative technology that could enhance access and facilitate routine monitoring of PWH.

Newborns are sensitive to multiple cues for word segmentation in continuous speech.

Developmental Science, 2019
Before infants can learn words, they must identify those words in continuous speech. Yet, the speech signal lacks obvious boundary markers, which poses a potential problem for language acquisition (Swingley, Philos Trans R Soc Lond.

Network Localization of Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Fatigue is among the most common symptoms and one of the main factors determining the quality of life in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying fatigue are not fully understood. Here we studied lesion locations and their connections in individuals with MS, aiming to identify brain networks ...

Automatic speech signal segmentation with chosen parametrization method

Archives of Acoustics, 2014
This paper is dedicated to the problem of automatic segmentation of a speech signal into so-called phonetic segments, i.e. speech signal segment with homogeneous physical structure which can be ascribed with adequate phonetic mean.

Learning novel phonotactics from exposure to continuous speech

Laboratory Phonology, 2017
Knowledge of phonotactics is commonly assumed to derive from the lexicon. However, computational studies have suggested that phonotactic constraints might arise before the lexicon is in place, in particular from co-occurrences in continuous speech.

Frailty Exacerbates Disability in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate frailty in severe progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Methods This prospective, cross‐sectional, multicenter study enrolled a late severe PMS group requiring skilled nursing (n = 53) and an age, sex, and disease duration‐matched control PMS group (n = 53).
