Generalized variogram analysis of vocal dysperiodicities in connected speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
A generalized variogram is used to track vocal dysperiodicities in connected speech, which are summarized by means of a signal-to-dysperiodicity marker. To evaluate the variogram-based analysis, signal-to-dysperiodicity estimates are correlated with scores obtained by means of perceptual ratings of the degree of hoarseness, which are based on comparative judgments of pairs of speech samples. The corpora comprise four French sentences as well as vowels [a] produced by 22 male and female normophonic and dysphonic speakers.

Assessment of vocal dysperiodicities in connected disordered speech
The aim of the presentation is to investigate acoustic analysis of connected speech by means of an average-equalized and energy-equalized variogram to extract vocal dysperiodicities. The variogram enables positioning a current and a lagged analysis frame in adjacent speech cycles to track inter-cycle dysperiodicities. Average and energy equalization of the analysis frames are options that make ...
متن کاملMultivariate analysis of frame-based acoustic cues of dysperiodicities in connected speech
Generalized variogram is used to extract vocal dysperiocities in disordered speech produced by dysphonic speakers. Both signal and dysperiodicity are passed through a filter bank and a segmental signal-to-dysperiodicity ratio is defined in each frequency band. Multivariate analysis is carried out to summarize the degree of perceived hoarseness. The predictor variables are the segmental signal-t...
متن کاملMulti-band and multi-cue analyses of disordered connected speech
The objective is to analyze vocal dysperiodicities in connected speech produced by dysphonic speakers. The analysis involves a speech variogram-based method that enables tracking instantaneous vocal dysperiodicities. The dysperiodicity trace is summarized by means of the signal-todysperiodicity ratio, which has been shown to correlate strongly with the perceived degree of hoarseness of the spea...

The topic of the presentation is an examination of several methodological problems posed by multi-step predictive analysis of speech when applied with a view to estimating vocal dysperiodicities. Problems that are discussed are the following. First, the stability of the multistep predictive synthesis filter; second, the decrease of the quantization noise by means of multiple prediction coeffici...
