Articulatory features for robust visual speech recognition
… the visual signal in terms of the underlying articulatory features. This approach is a natural extension of feature-based modeling of acoustic speech, which has been shown to increase robustness of audio-based speech recognition systems. We start by exploring ways of defining visual …

The control of speech motor targets
… focused on acoustic parameters and/or articulatory configurations of the end result of the production process as the target of speech production. The representations of production target, however, are far richer than the stereotypical acoustic/articulatory features that have been …

The perceptual basis of long-distance laryngeal restrictions
… are restrictions on auditory, as opposed to articulatory, features. Both long-distance laryngeal dissimilation, where roots may have one but not two laryngeally marked stops (MacEachern 1999), and assimilation, where stops in a root must agree in laryngeal features (Hansson 2001; Rose and …

The Interaction of Sound and Meaning in Qur’ānic Words: A Tonal Approach
… of syntactic, phonological, and rhythmic features, which are interpreted through the musical tonal dynamics. And the ways in which the aural structures become distinct of each other are read in parallel with the generation of Qur’ānic meanings. These studies construct a fertile formal …

Acoustic feature combination for speech recognition
In this thesis, the use of multiple acoustic features of the speech signal is considered for speech recognition. The goals of this thesis are twofold: on the one hand, new acoustic features are developed, on the other hand, feature combination methods are investigated in order to find an effective …

Using articulatory adjustment to compensate for hypernasality - a modeling study based on measures of electromagnetic articulography (EMA)
… an approach that uses speech-dependent articulatory adjustments to reduce hypernasality caused by excessive velopharyngeal opening. A preliminary study has been done to derive such articulatory adjustments for hypernasal /i/ vowels based on the simulation of an articulatorymodel (Speech …
