The effect of formant trajectories and phoneme durations on vowel intelligibility
We examined how much listeners can benefit from listening to “clear” (CLR) speech compared to “conversational” (CNV) speech, both spoken at different speaking rates. Vowe...

Discriminatively estimated discrete, parametric and smoothed-discrete duration models for speech recognition
Duration of phonemic segments provide important cues for distinguishing words in languages such as Arabic. Recently, we proposed a discriminatively estimated joint acoustic, durat...

Improving text-independent phonetic segmentation based on the Microcanonical Multiscale Formalism
In an earlier work, we proposed a novel phonetic segmentation method based on speech analysis under the Microcanonical Multiscale Formalism (MMF). The latter relies on the computa...

Native and non-native listeners' perception of English consonants in different types of noise
This paper shows that the effect of different types of noise on recognition of different phonemes by native versus non-native listeners is highly variable, even within classes of ...

Sign Language Phoneme Transcription with Rule-based Hand Trajectory Segmentation
A common approach to extract phonemes of sign language is to use an unsupervised clustering algorithm to group the sign segments. However, simple clustering algorithms based on dis...
