Automatic Parameter Estimation for a Context-Independent Speech Segmentation Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the framework of a recently introduced algorithm for speech phoneme segmentation, a novel strategy has been elaborated for comparing different speech encoding methods and for finding parameters which are optimal to the algorithm. The automatic procedure that implements this strategy allows to improve previously declared performances and poses the basis for a more accurate comparison between the investigated segmentation system and other segmentation methods proposed in literature.

Phonemic segmentation using the generalised Gamma distribution and small sample Bayesian information criterion
In this work, we present a text-independent automatic phone segmentation algorithm based on the Bayesian Information Criterion. Speech segmentation at a phone level imposes high resolution requirements in the short-time analysis of the audio signal; otherwise the limited information available in such a small scale would be too restrictive for an efficient characterisation of the signal. In orde...
متن کاملAutomatic Speech Segmentation with Hmm
ABSTRACT: In this paper we review aspects of our automatic speech segmentation system that has been utilised in conjunction with our speech synthesis research. The speech segmentation system is based on a hidden Markov model phone recogniser using training strategies optimised for the segmentation task. Our research includes an analysis of the various aspects of the phone recogniser’s design an...
متن کاملAutomatic Optimization of Segmentation Algorithms Through Simultaneous Truth and Performance Level Estimation (STAPLE)
The performance of automatic segmentation algorithms often depends critically upon a number of parameters intrinsic to the algorithm. Appropriate setting of these parameters is a pre-requisite for successful segmentation, and yet may be difficult for users to achieve. We propose here a novel algorithm for the automatic selection of optimal parameters for medical image segmentation. Our algorith...
متن کاملAutomatic estimation of regularization parameter by active constraint balancing method for 3D inversion of gravity data
Gravity data inversion is one of the important steps in the interpretation of practical gravity data. The inversion result can be obtained by minimization of the Tikhonov objective function. The determination of an optimal regularization parameter is highly important in the gravity data inversion. In this work, an attempt was made to use the active constrain balancing (ACB) method to select the...
