The Study Group was presented with the problem of determining how to generate noise samples appropriate for reliably testing the quality of in-car speech recognition systems. Speech-driven applications are becoming more common in cars and it is important to be able to test how well such systems perform and to identify those aspects of the noise which may cause difficulties for the systems. This...

In the present work we introduce a new approach to pathological speech processing methods and recognition of various speech pathologies. We no longer attempt to recognise forms of pathological speech deformations, because it is impossible to show any compact template of a normal speech signal (as reference) and it is also impossible to show a standard form of any deformation. Almost any sample ...

Indonesia merupakan negara dengan jumlah umat muslim terbesar di dunia, yang menjadikan pembacaan ayat-ayat Al-Qur’an sering terdengar berbagai tempat-tempat umum seperti Mesjid, Mushollah, dan kegiatan. Pemanfaatan Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) sebagai pengenalan kata bertujuan untuk mengetahui bacakan menambah pengetahuan mengenai serta informasi pendukung lainnya salah satu sarana berda...

In this paper we show how symbolic Artii-cial Intelligence (AI) techniques can be combined with traditional Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and statistical methods to enhance speech recognition. We implement a hybrid system which uses a rule-based expert system to create a Conceptual Dependency (CD) representation of the spoken input. Conceptual Dependencies are used for natural language unders...

Speech is the nature’s gift to the human being which contributes towards the intelligence and discrimination from rest of the animal kingdom. Taking into consideration technological aspects, speech recognition is the buzzword today, as communication and hands free computing evolving day by day. Speech is a very important mode of the communication and interaction with the digital computer. Speec...

A significant number of individuals have unexplained difficulties with acquiring normal speech and language, despite adequate intelligence and environmental stimulation. Although developmental disorders of speech and language are heritable, the genetic basis is likely to involve several, possibly many, different risk factors. Investigations of a unique three-generation family showing monogenic ...

Cognitive ability, or Intelligence Quotient (IQ), has long been shown to have a significant effect on language development in preschool children with hearing loss. IQ has been reported to be the strongest predictor of language outcomes for children under 5 years of age with hearing loss (Mayne et al., 2000). Non-verbal cognitive ability continues to have a sustained effect on language developme...
