Automatic measurement of vowel duration via structured prediction [PDF]
, 2016 A key barrier to making phonetic studies scalable and replicable is the need to rely on subjective, manual annotation. To help meet this challenge, a machine learning algorithm was developed for automatic measurement of a widely used phonetic measure: vowel duration.

A knowledge-driven vowel-based approach of depression classification from speech using data augmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We propose a novel explainable machine learning (ML) model that identifies depression from speech, by modeling the temporal dependencies across utterances and utilizing the spectrotemporal information at the vowel level. Our method first models the variable-length utterances at the local-level into a fixed-size vowel-based embedding using a ...
