A Modeling Framework for Speech Motor Development and Kinematic Articulator Control
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents three hypotheses that are central to a computational model of speech production: (1) Sound targets take the form of regions, rather than points, in a planning reference frame. (2) The planning frame is more acoustic-like than the frames used in most recent models. (3) A direction-to-direction mapping transforms planned trajectories into articulator movements. These hypotheses are supported by experimental data and simulation results.

that the same speaker will often use widely different articulator configurations to produce /r/ in different contexts. Ongoing research is addressing the addition of F3 to the planning space and the addition of consonants to the model's phonemic repertoire. It is believed that consonants, unlike vowels and /r/, may require the incorporation of constriction information in the target specificatio...
متن کاملModeling Motor Pattern Generation in the Development of Infant Speech Production
We previously proposed a non-imitative account of learning to pronounce, implemented computationally using discovery and mirrored interaction with a caregiver. Our model used an infant vocal tract synthesizer and its articulators were driven by a simple motor system. During an initial phase, motor patterns develop that represent potentially useful speech sounds. To increase the realism of this ...
متن کاملForward Dynamics Modeling of Speech Motor Control Using Physiological Data
We propose a paradigm for modeling speech production based on neural networks. We focus on characteristics of the musculoskeletal system. Using real physiological data articulator movements and EMG from muscle activitya neural network learns the forward dynamics relating motor commands to muscles and the ensuing articulator behavior. After learning, simulated perturbations, were used to asses p...
متن کاملPhysiologically Based Speech Synthesis
This study demonstrates a paradigm for modeling speech production based on neural networks. Using physiological data from speech utterances, a neural network learns the forward dynamics relating motor commands to muscles and the ensuing articulator behavior that allows articulator trajectories to be generated from motor commands constrained by phoneme input strings and global performance parame...
متن کاملIs Coarticulation in Speech Kinematics Centrally Planned ?
Coarticulation in speech production is a phenomenon in which the articulator movements for a given speech sound vary systematically with the surrounding sounds and their associated movements. Although these variations may appear to be centrally planned, without explicit models of the speech articulators, the kinematic patterns which are attributable to central control cannot be distinguished fr...
