A dutch treatment of an elitist approach to articulatory-acoustic feature classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel approach to articulatory-acoustic feature extraction has been developed for enhancing the accuracy of classification associated with place and manner of articulation information. This “elitist” approach is tested on a corpus of spontaneous Dutch using two different systems, one trained on a subset of the same corpus, the other trained on a corpus from a different language (American English). The feature dimensions, voicing and manner of articulation transfer relatively well between the two languages. However, place information transfers less well. Manner-specific training can be used to improve classification of articulatory place information.

A novel framework for automatic articulatory-acoustic feature extraction has been developed for enhancing the accuracy of placeand manner-of-articulation classification in spoken language. The ‘‘elitist’’ approach provides a principled means of selecting frames for which multi-layer perceptron, neural-network classifiers are highly confident. Using this method it is possible to achieve a frame-...

A novel framework for automatic articulatory-acoustic feature extraction has been developed for enhancing the accuracy of placeand manner-of-articulation classification in spoken language. The “elitist” approach focuses on frames for which neural network (MLP) classifiers are highly confident, and discards the rest. Using this method, it is possible to achieve a frame-level accuracy of 93% for ...
متن کاملMulticlass Support Vector Machines for Articulatory Feature Classification
This ongoing research project investigates articulatory feature (AF) classification using multiclass support vector machines (SVMs). SVMs are being constructed for each AF in the multi-valued feature set (Table 1), using speech data and annotation from the IFA Dutch “Open-Source” (van Son et al. 2001) and TIMIT English (Garofolo et al. 1993) corpora. The primary objective of this research is to...

The focus of this paper is estimating articulatory movements of the tongue and lips from acoustic speech data. While there are several potential applications of such a method in speech therapy and pronunciation training, performance of such acoustic-to-articulatory inversion systems is not very high due to limited availability of simultaneous acoustic and articulatory data, substantial speaker ...
