Better Phoneme Recognisers Lead to Better Phoneme Posteriorgrams for Search on Speech? An Experimental Analysis
Advances in Speech and Language Technologies for Iberian LanguagesAbstractPhoneme posteriorgrams are widely used for speech representation when performing query-by-example search on speech. These posteriorgrams are computed by obtaining the per-frame a posteriori probability of each unit in a phoneme recogniser, ...
Speech-Input Speech-Output Communication for Dysarthric Speakers Using HMM-Based Speech Recognition and Adaptive Synthesis System
Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that causes inability to control and coordinate one or more articulators. This makes it difficult for a dysarthric speaker to utter certain speech sound units, thereby producing poorly articulated, slurred, and ...
