Quantization of Magnitude Spectra in Waveform Interpolation Speech Coding

Efficient quantization of magnitude spectra is one of the central issues in speech coding, especially with techniques operating at low bit rates. This paper presents a novel high-accuracy quantization scheme for the magnitude spectra in waveform interpolation speech coding. The performance of the proposed techniques, including both their accuracy and complexity, is studied using objective measu...

Speech waveform perturbation analysis revisited

The c l in ica l usefulness of seven acoustic measures of cycle-to-cycle variations (perturbations) in the speech waveform was investigated. Three of these measures referred t o the frequency of occurrence and severeness of waveform perturbations i n special selected parts of the speech identified by means of the r a t e of change of the fundamental frequency. Three other measures referred t o ...

the analysis of the role of the speech acts theory in translating and dubbing hollywood films

از محوری ترین اثراتی که یک فیلم سینمایی ایجاد می کند دیالوگ هایی است که هنرپیش گان فیلم میگویند. به زعم یک فیلم ساز, یک شیوه متأثر نمودن مخاطب از اثر منظوره نیروی گفتارهای گوینده, مثل نیروی عاطفی, ترس آور, غم انگیز, هیجان انگیز و غیره, است. این مطالعه به بررسی این مسأله مبادرت کرده است که آیا نیروی فراگفتاری هنرپیش گان به مثابه ی اعمال گفتاری در پنج فیلم هالیوودی در نسخه های دوبله شده باز تولید...

a comparative pragmatic analysis of the speech act of “disagreement” across english and persian

the speech act of disagreement has been one of the speech acts that has received the least attention in the field of pragmatics. this study investigates the ways power relations, social distance, formality of the context, gender, and language proficiency (for efl learners) influence disagreement and politeness strategies. the participants of the study were 200 male and female native persian s...
