Transfer Effect of Speech-sound Learning on Auditory-motor Processing of Perceived Vocal Pitch Errors [PDF]
Speech perception and production are intimately linked. There is evidence that speech motor learning results in changes to auditory processing of speech.

A comparative study of the function of heterospecific vocal mimicry in European passerines [PDF]
Although heterospecific vocal imitation is well documented in passerines, the evolutionary correlates of this phenomenon are poorly known. Here, we studied interspecific variation in vocal mimicry in a comparative study of 241 European songbirds.

Evidence for Teaching in an Australian Songbird
Song in oscine birds (as in human speech and song) relies upon the rare capacity of vocal learning. Transmission can be vertical, horizontal, or oblique.

Joint singing voice separation and F0 estimation with deep U-net architectures [PDF]
Vocal source separation and fundamental frequency estimation in music are tightly related tasks. The outputs of vocal source separation systems have previously been used as inputs to vocal fundamental frequency estimation systems; conversely, vocal ...

Learning and adaptation in speech production without a vocal tract [PDF]
How is the complex audiomotor skill of speaking learned? To what extent does it depend on the specific characteristics of the vocal tract? Here, we developed a touchscreen-based speech synthesizer to examine learning of speech production independent of ...

We bridge the gap between two issues in infant development: vocal development and intrinsic motivation. We propose and experimentally test the hypothesis that general mechanisms of intrinsically motivated spontaneous exploration, also called curiosity ...

Some animal vocalizations develop reliably in the absence of relevant experience, but an intriguing subset of animal vocalizations is learned: they require acoustic models during ontogeny in order to develop, and the learner's vocal output reflects those models. To what extent do such learned vocalizations reflect phylogeny?

Whisper-to-speech conversion using restricted Boltzmann machine arrays [PDF]
Whispers are a natural vocal communication mechanism, in which vocal cords do not vibrate normally. Lack of glottal-induced pitch leads to low energy, and an inherent noise-like spectral distribution reduces intelligibility.

Multimodal imitative learning and synchrony in cetaceans: A model for speech and singing evolution
Multimodal imitation of actions, gestures and vocal production is a hallmark of the evolution of human communication, as both, vocal learning and visual-gestural imitation, were crucial factors that facilitated the evolution of speech and singing ...
