Evaluating acoustic distance measures for template based recognition
In this paper we investigate the behaviour of different acoustic distance measures for template based speech recognition in light of the combination of acoustic distances, linguistic knowledge and template concatenation fluency costs. To that end, different acoustic distance measures are compared on tasks with varying levels of fluency/linguistic constraints. We show that the adoption of those ...
متن کاملEvaluating Distance Measures for Trajectories in the Mobile Setting
Mobile devices, such as smartphones allow us to use computationally expensive algorithms and techniques. In this paper, we study algorithms in order to solve the problem of finding the most similar trajectory within a number of trajectories. We built a framework that enables the user to compare a trajectory Q with trajectories that have been generated and stored on mobile devices. The system re...
متن کاملComparison of Distance Measures in Discrete Spectral Modeling
We present a general adaptive approach for discrete spectral modeling by minimizing different spectral distances in an adaptive filtering context. By comparing the steady-state error for several spectral distance measures for real speech, we study the performance of these important distance measures. We also present a fast converging algorithm for the COSH distance that is shown to yield a more...
متن کاملObjective distance measures for spectral discontinuities in concatenative speech synthesis
The quality of unit selection based concatenative speech synthesis mainly depends on how well two successive units can be joined together to minimise the audible discontinuities. The objective measure of discontinuity used when selecting units is known as the join cost. The ideal join cost will measure perceived discontinuity, based on easily measurable spectral properties of the units being jo...
متن کاملEffect of spectral content and learning on auditory distance perception
We studied the importance of the stimulus spectrum and of the listener’s experience on the human ability to judge distance of auditory objects. The study was performed in a virtual auditory environment (VAE), created by convolution of the stimuli with non-individual Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) measured in a regular classroom. The listeners’ task was to judge the distance of sounds o...
