Computational differences between whispered and non-whispered speech
Whispering is a common type of speech which is not often studied in speech technology. Perceptual and physiological studies show us that whispered speech is subtly di erent from phonated speech, and is surprisingly able to carry a tremendous amount of information. In this dissertation we con- sider …
