Vowel-contingent feature detection.
Do vowel-contingent selective adaptation effects for place of articulation depend on vowel identity, or on the particular formant frequencies used? An experiment is reported here which tested the adaptation effects of consonants with exactly the same formant transitions before different diphthongs. In this experiment, the phonetic identity of the vowel and the formant frequencies of the consona...
متن کاملContingent Feature Analysis
Applying reinforcement learning algorithms in real-world domains is challenging because relevant state information is often embedded in a stream of highdimensional sensor data. This paper describes a novel algorithm for learning taskrelevant features through interactions with the environment. The key idea is that a feature is likely to be useful to the degree that its dynamics can be controlled...
متن کاملIntrinsic Vowel Pitch: A Gradient Feature of Vowel Systems?
This paper investigates the average fundamental frequency of eight peripheral vowels in Belgian Standard Dutch in order to examine whether a vowel gradient exists with respect to Intrinsic Vowel Pitch (IF0). The results show that IF0 exists in Belgian Standard Dutch and amounts to 3.26 semi-tones. It is found that the assumed gradience in the degree of openness/tongue height is only reflected t...
متن کاملRobust Vowel Detection
Human listeners can detect and recognize speech with relatively little hindrance of background noises [1]. It is well known that human listeners apply knowledge to derive a coherent interpretation of ambiguous input. But human listeners might also benefit from the robustness of formant patterns. Formants are part of the perceptual features that are hypothesized to be used by humans in speech pr...
متن کاملVowel-onset detection.
An algorithm is presented that correctly detects the large majority of vowel onsets in fluent speech. The algorithm is based on the simple assumption that vowel onsets are characterized by the appearance of rapidly increasing resonance peaks in the amplitude spectrum. Application to carefully articulated, isolated words results in a high number of false alarms, predominantly before consonants t...
