Onset /l/ was longer before voiced than voiceless codas, and darker (for 3 speakers) as measured by F2 frequency and spectral centre of gravity. Differences due to other variables (lexical status, isolation/carrier context, syllable onset, vowel quality and regional accent) are outlined. It is proposed that coda voicing is a feature associated with the whole syllable, phonetically implemented as a variety of properties spread throughout the syllabic domain. Implications for word recognition are outlined.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"1 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":"131233228","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}

These features appear to be more robust to channel variations and environmental changes compared to features based on Melspectral coefficients. The main idea is to derive cepstrumlike features from group delay spectrum instead of deriving them from power spectrum. The group delay spectrum is computed from modified auto-correlation-like function. The effectiveness of the new feature set is demonstrated by the results of both speaker-independent (SI) and speaker-dependent (SD) recognition tasks. Preliminary results indicate that using the new features, we can obtain results comparable to Mel cepstra and PLP cepstra in most of the cases and a slight improvement in noisy cases. More optimization of the parameters is needed to fully exploit the nature of the new features.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"19 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":"133693995","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 model incorporates knowledge from intonation theories like the expected types of F 0 movements and syllable anchoring. The knowledge is integrated into the model using an appropriate approximation function for F 0 parametrization. The F 0 parameters that result from the parametrization are predicted from a set of features using neural nets. The quality of the generated contours is assessed by means of numerical measures and perception tests. They show that the basic hypotheses about intonation description and modeling are in principle correct and that they have the potential to be successfully applied to speech synthesis. We argue for a clear interface with a linguistic description (using pitch-accent and boundary labels as input) and discourse structure (using pitch-range normalized F 0 parameters), even though current text-to-speech systems usually still do not have the capability to predict most of the appropriate information.","PeriodicalId":117113,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing (ICSLP 1998)","volume":"45 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":"133107530","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 mean sentence score for the group was 72% (range 100-18%). Language scores (CELF-R) and Verbal Scale IQ (WISC-R) scores were significantly below the norm (72.8 and 89.2 respectively). Performance Scale IQ scores were slightly above the norm (106.3). Sentences scores were correlated significantly with language score (r = 0.49). Further investigation showed that the predicability of language scores could be improved when sensation level was taken into account. Sensation level was negatively correlated with language scores (r = - 0.51), demonstrating that children with better language abilities perceived speech at relatively lower intensity levels. The observed sensation levels from the group were compared with the expected levels for normally hearing children.
