Shadowing reduced speech and alignment.
This study examined whether listeners align to reduced speech. Participants were asked to shadow sentences from a casual speech corpus containing canonical and reduced targets. Participants' productions showed alignment: durations of canonical targets were longer than durations of reduced targets; and participants often imitated the segment types (canonical versus reduced) in both targets. The ...
متن کاملSpeech Analysis for Automatic Evaluation of Shadowing
This paper presents acoustic analysis for the purpose of automatic evaluation of shadowing speech. We use selfchecked scores of understanding, manual prosodic scores, and TOEIC scores as reference scores of learners’ shadowing speech, and compare these scores with automatic scores based on acoustic features that can reflect phoneme intelligibility and prosodic fluency in terms of intonation, an...
متن کاملClose shadowing natural vs. synthetic speech
Close shadowing experiments involving natural and synthetic stimuli are here described. Preliminary results show that speakers are able to follow natural stimuli with an average delay less than 50 ms whereas this delay exceeds 100 ms for stimuli produced by Text-to-speech systems. A complementary experiment shows that this contrast is mainly due to prosody.
متن کاملClose Shadowing Natural Versus Synthetic Speech
Close shadowing experiments involving natural and synthetic stimuli are described. Preliminary results show that speakers are able to follow natural stimuli with an average delay of 70 ms whereas this delay typically exceeds 100 ms for stimuli produced by text-to-speech systems. A complementary experiment shows that this contrast is mainly due to the inappropriate or impoverished prosody genera...
متن کاملReduced space sequence alignment
MOTIVATION Sequence alignment is the problem of finding the optimal character-by-character correspondence between two sequences. It can be readily solved in O(n2) time and O(n2) space on a serial machine, or in O(n) time with O(n) space per O(n) processing elements on a parallel machine. Hirschberg's divide-and-conquer approach for finding the single best path reduces space use by a factor of n...
