Initial investigations have shown the feasibility of synthesising context dependent models from context independent models through weighted interpolation of the peripheral states of a given hidden markov model with its adjacent model. This idea can be further extended, to maximum likelihood estimation of not only single weights, but a matrix of weights or a transform. This paper outlines the application of Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression (MLLR) as a means of modeling context dependency in continuous density Hidden Markov Models (HMM).","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127910160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first approach is based on the alignment of the speech signal on a high quality synthetic speech pattern, and the second one uses a hybrid HMM/ANN system. Both systems have been evaluated on French read utterances from a speaker never seen in the training stage of the HMM/ANN system and manually segmented. This study outlines the advantages and drawbacks of both methods. The high quality speech synthetic system has the great advantage that no training stage is needed, while the classical HMM/ANN system easily allows multiple phonetic transcriptions. We deduce a method for the automatic constitution of phonetically labeled speech databases based on using the synthetic speech segmentation tool to bootstrap the training process of our hybrid HMM/ANN system. The importance of such segmentation tools will be a key point for the development of improved speech synthesis and recognition systems.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115831748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that the accurate recognition of the first syllable or the initial portion of each word played an important role in recognizing a word correctly. It was implied in the study that their recognition performance would be enhanced by utilizing the speech processing methods, time-scale expansion and/or dynamic range compression. Although approximately 85 percent of English words begin with strong syllables [1], many of them do not carry a sentence stress and they are not pronounced as clearly as isolated words. Moreover, the duration of a word, especially a beginning word is so short that the listener can't recognize it correctly. Two experiments were administered in the anechoic room. In the first experiment, subjects listened to extracted words and corresponding isolated words of English, which included words without primary stress on the first syllables. We found that they had difficulty in recognizing both isolated words and the extracted words, especially when the word did not begin with a strong syllable, which was sounded somewhat unclear. This is quite frequent in a normal English speech. We confirmed that they had difficulty recognizing the words which began with weak syllables and it is concluded that the first syllable plays an important role in the recognition of words at least for Japanese speakers. In the second experiment, the extracted words and the corresponding time-scale expanded words (henceforth, expanded words) were given. The result indicated that the expanded words were better recognized. It is found that the time-scale modification (henceforth, TSM) of the extracted words didn’t lose intelligibility even around the ratio of 2.00, as was clear from the fact that the recognition improved.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115896967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The testing and training data include many likely vowel confusions for speakers of different L1s. The training program focuses on one distinction at a time, and adjusts to concentrate on particular contexts or exemplars that are difficult for the individual subject. In the current study, 52 subjects participated in testing and 2 subjects participated in training. In the testing portion, results indicate that the L1 and the fluency level in English, as well as individual variability, have an effect on perceptual ability. In the training portion, subjects showed significant improvement on the contrasts on which they trained. Because these programs make extensive data collection over large populations and large distances easy, this method of research will facilitate further investigation of questions regarding second language acquisition.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132051206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the vocoder, the encoder performs phoneme recognition and transmits phoneme indexes and state durations to the decoder, and the decoder synthesizes speech using HMM-based speech synthesis technique. One of the main problems of this vocoder is that the voice characteristics of synthetic speech depend on HMMs used in the decoder, and are therefore fixed regardless of a variety of input speakers. To overcome this problem, we adapt HMMs to input speech by transmitting transfer vectors, information on mismatch between the input speech and HMMs. The results of the subjective tests show that the performance of the proposed vocoder without quantization of transfer vectors is comparable to that of a speaker dependent vocoder.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132208532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
