Ratings of voices' likability were collected in two successive studies. A single scale seems to be sufficient for assessing such ratings. Based on limited but controlled data...
Unlike most of the world's languages, Korean distinguishes three types of voiceless stops, namely lenis, fortis, and aspirated stops. All occur at three places of articulatio...
In this paper we investigate the prosody and voice quality of dominance in scenario meetings. We have found that in these scenarios the most dominant person tends to speak with a ...
Being able to recognize people from their voice is a natural ability that we take for granted. Recent advances have shown significant improvement in automatic speaker recognition ...
This paper introduces Silk, CELT, and BroadVoice that are available in the internet as open source voice codecs. Their voice quality is evaluated with a subjective listening test....
Inspired by the recent improvements in domain adaptation and session variability compensation techniques used for speech and speaker processing, we study their effect for emotion ...
In this paper we investigate a computational model of word learning that is cognitively plausible. The model is partly trained on incorrect form-referent pairings, modelling the i...
Intonational research is often dependent upon hand-labeling by trained listeners, which can be prone to bias or error. We apply tools from Functional Data Analysis (FDA) to a set ...
We describe a new language-independent technique for automatically identifying errors in an electronic pronunciation dictionary by analyzing the source of conflicting patterns dir...
According to articulatory phonology, the gestural score is an invariant speech representation. Though the timing schemes, i.e., the onsets and offsets, of the gestural activations...
