From articulatory to acoustic parameters non-stop
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports an attempt to map the time variations of selected articulatory parameters (from X-ray profiles) directly on the F1, F2 and F3 formant tracks using multiple regression analysis (MRA). The results indicate that MRA can indeed be useful for predicting formant frequencies. Since the results reported here are limited to preliminary observations of F1 only, further studies including F2 and F3 are needed to evaluate the method more definitively.

Statistical acoustic-to-articulatory mapping unified with speaker normalization based on voice conversion
This paper proposes a model of speaker-normalized acoustic-toarticulatory mapping using statistical voice conversion. A mapping function from acoustic parameters to articulatory parameters is usually developed with a single speaker’s parallel data. Hence the constructed mapping model can work appropriately only for this specific speaker, and applying this model to other speakers degrades the pe...
متن کاملIn search of non-uniqueness in the acoustic-to-articulatory mapping
This paper explores the possibility and extent of non-uniqueness in the acoustic-to-articulatory inversion of speech, from a statistical point of view. It proposes a technique to estimate the non-uniqueness, based on finding peaks in the conditional probability function of the articulatory space. The paper corroborates the existence of non-uniqueness in a statistical sense, especially in stop c...
متن کاملAcoustic-to-articulatory inversion using a speaker-normalized HMM-based speech production model
Acoustic-to-articulatory inverse mapping is a difficult problem because of its non-linear and oneto-many characteristics. We have previously developed a speech inversion method using a hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech production model which takes into account the phonemespecific dynamic constraints of articulatory parameters. We found that the constraint significantly decreases the estima...
متن کاملOn the Non-uniqueness of Acoustic-to-Articulatory Mapping
This paper studies the hypothesis that the acoustic-to-articulatory mapping is nonunique, statistically. The distributions of the acoustic and articulatory spaces are obtained by minimizing the BIC while fitting the data into a GMM using the EM algorithm. The kurtosis is used to measure the non-Gaussianity of the distributions and the Bhattacharya distance is used to find the difference between...
متن کاملTime-Frequency Energy Features for Articulator Position Inference on Stop Consonants
Acoustic-to-Articulatory inversion offers new perspectives and interesting applications in the speech processing field; however, it remains an open issue. This paper presents a method to estimate the distribution of the articulatory information contained in the stop consonants’ acoustics, whose parametrization is achieved by using the wavelet packet transform. The main focus is on measuring the...
