Applications of missing feature theory to speaker recognition
… techniques and approaches from missing feature theory for improving Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based speaker verification under this mismatch condition. Experiments are performed using a speech corpus consisting of "clean" training speech and "dirty" test speech equal to the clean …

Nasal codas in Standard Chinese : a study in the framework of the distinctive feature theory
… correlates of language-universal distinctive features and language-specific enhancing attributes. The distinctive feature theory and the theory of enhancement provide a framework for quantifying the acoustic and articulatory patterns observed in the two languages. An acoustic model of …

Noise-Robust Speech Recognition Using Deep Neural Network
… of speech. Thirdly, we revisited the missing feature theory and developed a DNN-based spectral masking system. Fourthly, an Ideal Hidden-activation Mask (IHM) was proposed to remove noise-prone latent detectors. Lastly, a noise code technique was developed to simulate IHM with reduced …

Optimization of acoustic feature extraction from dysarthric speech
… speech recognition, Stevens' Lexical Access from Features (LAFF) framework, for ten individual speakers with dysarthria (SWDs). The LAFF model is rooted in distinctive feature theory, with acoustic landmarks indicating changes in the manner of articulation. The acoustic correlates manifested …

On the Formal Flexibility of Syntactic Categories
… 1, I lay out some foundational issues regarding features and categories in Chapter 2 and delineate a featural metalanguage comprising four components: specification, valuation, typing, and granularity. Based on that I put forward a templatic definition for syntactic categories, which unifies the …
