Classification of Fricative Consonants for Speech Enhancement in Hearing Devices
OBJECTIVE To investigate a set of acoustic features and classification methods for the classification of three groups of fricative consonants differing in place of articulation. METHOD A support vector machine (SVM) algorithm was used to classify the fricatives extracted from the TIMIT database in quiet and also in speech babble noise at various signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Spectral feature...

متن کاملFrequency compression/transposition of fricative consonants for the hearing impaired with high-frequency dead regions
In this paper we present the first evaluation results of a carefully designed piecewise linear frequency compression curve, to improve the recognition of fricative consonants, for patients with high-frequency dead regions in the cochlea. Our original frequency compression/transposition algorithm takes into account the average short-time spectrum of the most frequent Brazilian Portuguese fricati...
متن کاملAcoustic structure of fricative consonants in Greek
The present study examines the temporal and spectral characteristics of Greek fricatives (duration and spectral moments, i.e. mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis) as distinctive cues for their place of articulation. The effects of voicing, speaker’s gender and post-fricative vowel on both duration and spectral moments are also investigated. The results indicate that noise duration does not disti...
