HMMs are a special case of such models, one in which the trajectory constraints in the speech segment are ignored by the assumption of conditional independence across frames within the segment. In this paper, we investigate in detail some extensions to our trajectory modeling approach aimed at improving LVCSR performance: (i) improved modeling of mixtures of trajectories via better initialization, (ii) modeling of context dependence, and (iii) improved segment boundaries by means of search. We will present results in terms of both phone classi cation and recognition accuracy on the Switchboard corpus.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"52 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":"130186963","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 study was conducted in order to evaluate age-related speech percepton abilities and ccammmication profiles in a population who do not present for hearing assessment and who are not included in census statistics as having hearing problems. Audiometric assessment, demographic and hearing history self-reports, speech reception thresholds, consonant discrimination perception in quiet and noise, and the Ccumnunication Profile for the Hearing Impaired (CPHI) were the in.ements used to develop speech communication profiles. Hearing performance decreased with increased age. However, despite self-reports of no hearing impairment, many subjects over age 50 had audiometric thresholds that indicated hearing impairment. The responses to the CPHI were correlated to audiometric thresholds, but also to the age of the respondent, when hearing thresholds had been controlled statistically. A comparison of CPHI responses f?om this study and that of two other samples in clinical populations revealed only slightly different patterns of behaviour in the present sample when co&o&d with communication difficulties.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"161 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":"133893507","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}

By combining the idea of the minimax decision rule with a normal Viterbi search, we derive a recursive minimax search algorithm, where the minimax decision rule is repetitively applied to determine the partial paths during the search procedure. Because of its intrinsic nature of a recursive search, the proposed method can be easily extended to perform contin-uos speech recognition. Experimental results on Japanese isolated digits and TIDIGITS, where the mismatch between training and testing conditions is caused by additive white Gaussian noise, show the viability and e(cid:14)ciency of the proposed minimax search algorithm.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"49 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":"134135137","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 more computationally efficient direct route is more likely to be used for high frequency words, while the indirect route is most likely to be used for novel or low frequency words. We suggest that the acquired neurological disorder of apraxia of speech (AOS), provides a window to speech encoding mechanisms and that the disorder represents an impairment of direct route encoding mechanisms and, therefore, a reliance on indirect mechanisms. We report an investigation of the production of high and low frequency words across three subject groups: non-brain damaged control (NBDC, N=3); brain damaged control (BDC, N=3) and speakers with AOS (N=4). The results are presented and discussed within the dual-route phonetic encoding hypothesis.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"167 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":"133996680","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 analysis, we assessed the relationship between inter-speaker intervals and various contextual factors, such as the effects of eye contact, the presence of conversational game boundaries, the category of move in an utterance, and the degree of experience with the task in hand. The results of the analysis indicated that the main factors which gave rise to significant differences in inter-speaker intervals were those which related to decision-making and planning the greater the amount of planning, the greater the inter-speaker interval. Differences between speakers were also found to be significant, although this effect did not necessarily interact with all other effects.

Our approach is based on the noise reduction of the parameters that we use for recognition, that is, the Mel-based cepstral coefficients. A Temporal-Correlation-Based Recurrent Multilayer Neural Network (TCRMNN) for noise reduction in the cepstral domain is used in order to get less-variant parameters to be useful for robust recognition in noisy environments. Experiments show that the use of the enhanced parameters using such an approach increases the recognition rate of the continuous speech recognition (CSR) process. The HTK Hidden Markov Model Toolkit was used throughout. Experiments were done on a noisy version of the TIMIT database. With such a pre-processing noise reduction technique in the front-end of the HTK-based continuous speech recognition system (CSR) system, improvements in the recognition accuracy of about 17.77% and 18.58% using single mixture monophones and triphones, respectively, have been obtained at a moderate SNR of 20 dB.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"120 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":"131757815","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 transmitter stage includes a phone recogniser whose index is transmitted together with prosodic information such as duration, energy and pitch variation. This type of coder does not transmit spectral speaker characteristics and speaker recognisability thus becomes a major problem. In our previous work, we adapted a speaker modification strategy to minimise this problem, modifying a codebook to match the spectral characteristics of the input speaker. This is done at the cost of transmitting the LSP averages computed for vowel and glide phones. This paper presents new codebook generation strategies, with gender dependence and interpolation frames, that lead to better speaker recognisability and speech quality. Relatively to our previous work, some effort was also devoted to deriving more efficient quantization methods for the speakerspecific information, that considerably reduced the average bit rate, without quality degradation. For the CD-ROM version, a set of audio files is also included.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"4 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":"131802616","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}

Two additional sentences were formed from each sentence pair by transplanting the prosodic structure between the natural and synthetic members of each pair. In two listening experiments subjects were asked to (a) classify each sentence as “natural” or “synthetic, or (b) rate the naturalness of each sentence.

The case where the relation between two phonemes of a second language and those of a native language changes according to following vowels was studied. The perceptual properties of Russians with regards to Japanese fricatives were examined. In the perception test, the confusion of [ (cid:219) o] with [so] was very large. This phenomenon could be caused by the difference between the transition onset time from [s’] to vowels and that from the other consonants to vowels. It is considered that, in the case of following vowel [a] and [o], Russians equated Japanese [s] and [ (cid:219) ] with Russian [s] and [s'] respectively. However, in the case of [u], they did not equate them in such a manner.
