Speech perception is known to rely on both auditory and visual information. However, sound-specific somatosensory input has been shown also to influence speech perceptual processing (Ito et al., 2009). In the present study, we addressed further the relationship between somatosensory information and speech perceptual processing by addressing the hypothesis that the temporal relationship between ...

This paper describes an optimal algorithm using continuous state Hidden Markov Models for solving the HMS decoding problem, which is the problem of recovering an underlying sequence of phonetic units from measurements of smoothly varying acoustic features, thus inverting the speech generation process described by Holmes, Mattingly and Shearme in a well known paper (Speech synthesis by rule, Lan...

—This paper addresses the problem of older adults’ understanding of speech. By analyzing speech rates used by various radio stations and by confronting them with audience ratings we found that there is some correlation between speech rate used by radio stations and audience preferences in different age groups. We present various studies analyzing the problem of speech perception among older ad...

We approach the problem of understanding the disease progression and speech of patients suffering from ALS as a language divergence identification problem. We summarize the promises and challenges of using speech-related biomarkers to adapt speech recognition to ALS patients and correlate language divergence with disease progression.

The nonlinear speech signal decomposition based on Volterra-Wiener functional series is described. The solution of speech recognition problem by means of measuring Wiener kernels is proposed. The recognition system of speech signal is considered for speech phoneme identification.

One of the interesting topics on multimedia domain is concerned with empowering computer in order to speech production. Speech synthesis is granting human abilities to the computer for speech production. Data-based approach and process-based approach are the two main approaches on speech synthesis. Each approach has its varied challenges. Unit-selection speech synthesis and statistical parametr...
