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...
Duration of phonemic segments provide important cues for distinguishing words in languages such as Arabic. Recently, we proposed a discriminatively estimated joint acoustic, durat...
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...

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 ...
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...
