Previously we have proposed different models for estimating articulatory gestures and vocal tract variable (TV) trajectories from synthetic speech. We have shown that when deploye...

The motivation for this study is the need for careful analysis of aperiodicity of the excitation component in expressive voices. The paper proposes analysis methods which can pres...

We present a novel automatic procedure to analyze articulatory setting (AS) or basis of articulation using realtime magnetic resonance images (rt-MRI) of the human vocal tract rec...

This paper applies two dynamic Bayes networks that include theoretical and measured kinematic features of the vocal tract, respectively, to the task of labeling phoneme sequences ...
In this paper we proposed some flexible methods, which are useful in the process of voice conversion. The proposed methods modify the shape of the vocal tract system and the chara...
Abstract. Glottal inverse filtering is a technique used to derive the glottal waveform during voiced speech. Closed phase inverse filtering (CPIF) is a common approach for achiev...
Real generalized cepstral analysis is introduced and applied to speech deconvolution. Real pseudo cepstrum of the vocal tract model impulse response is defined and applied to the a...
The article compares two approaches to the description of ultrasound vocal tract images for application in a “silent speech interface,” one based on tongue contour modeling, a...
Physiological properties of the glottis and the vocal tract change with age and gender. Since these changes are reflected in the speech signal, acoustic measures related to those...
The popular mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) capture a mixture of speaker-related, phonemic and channel information. Speaker-related information could be further broke...
