Temporal structures for fast and slow speech rate
نویسنده
چکیده
The rhythmic component in speech synthesis often remains rather rudimentary, despite recent major efforts in the modeling of prosodic models. The European COST Action 258 has identified this problem as one of the next challenges for speech synthesis. This paper is a contribution to a new, promising approach that was tested on a French temporal model.

Whether Long-Term Tracking of Speech Rate Affects Perception Depends on Who is Talking
Speech rate is known to modulate perception of temporally ambiguous speech sounds. For instance, a vowel may be perceived as short when the immediate speech context is slow, but as long when the context is fast. Yet, effects of long-term tracking of speech rate are largely unexplored. Two experiments tested whether long-term tracking of rate influences perception of the temporal Dutch vowel con...
متن کاملPhoneme Classification Using Temporal Tracking of Speech Clusters in Spectro-temporal Domain
This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...
متن کاملTemporal organization of speech for normal and fast rates
This paper characterizes the temporal organization of speech within interstress intervals (ISI) for fast and normal rates of speech for two groups of English speakers: . normal speakers (NS), and a group of disfluent speakers (DS) whose speech rate was clinically rated as “slow”. Duration measurements of stressed vowels, (SV) unstressed vowels (USV) and intervowel intervals (IVI) were obtained ...
متن کاملRole of slow pathway after nodal fast pathway ablation on the basic and rate- dependent properties of the isolated rabbit atrioventricularNode
Introduction : The aim of this study is to obtain new insight into possible relation between functional properties of slow concealed pathway and rate-dependent properties of AV-node. Methods : Rate-dependent nodal properties of recovery, facilitation, and fatigue were characterized by stimulation protocols in one groups of (N=7) isolated superfused AV-Nodal rabbits. Small miniature lesions ...
متن کاملEffects of ageing on speed and temporal resolution of speech stimuli in older adults
Background: According to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. In this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. Methods: A time-compressed speech test (TCST) w...
