In most approaches to speech recognition, the speech signals are segmented using constant-time segmentation, for example into 25 ms blocks. Constant segmentation risks losing info...
— This paper proposes a computational model for phoneme acquisition by infants. Human infants perceive speech sounds not as discrete phoneme sequences but as continuous acoustic ...
Speech synthesis by unit selection requires the segmentation of a large single speaker high quality recording. Automatic speech recognition techniques, e.g. Hidden Markov Models (...

Abstract— A continuous vocal imitation system was developed using a computational model that explains the process of phoneme acquisition by infants. Human infants perceive speech...
We describe automatic visual speech segmentation using facial data captured by a stereo-vision technique. The segmentation is performed using an HMM-based forced alignment mechani...
