Encoding of Articulatory Kinematic Trajectories in Human Speech Sensorimotor Cortex.

Neuron May 17, 2018
When speaking, we dynamically coordinate movements of our jaw, tongue, lips, and larynx. To investigate the neural mechanisms underlying articulation, we used direct cortical recordings from human sensorimotor cortex while participants spoke natural ...

Perspectives on Speech Timing: Coupled Oscillator Modeling of Polish and Finnish.

Phonetica Feb 23, 2017
This stud y was ai med at analyzing empirical duration data for Polish spoken at different tempos using an updated version of the Coupled Oscillator Model of speech timing and rhythm variability (O'Dell and Nieminen, 1999, 2009). We use Bayesian infe...

Real-Time Control of an Articulatory-Based Speech Synthesizer for Brain Computer Interfaces.

PLoS computational biology Nov 23, 2016
Restoring natural speech in paralyzed and aphasic people could be achieved using a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) controlling a speech synthesizer in real-time. To reach this goal, a prerequisite is to develop a speech synthesizer producing intelligi...

What can Neighbourhood Density effects tell us about word learning? Insights from a connectionist model of vocabulary development.

Journal of child language Feb 17, 2016
In this paper, we investigate the effect of neighbourhood density (ND) on vocabulary size in a computational model of vocabulary development. A word has a high ND if there are many words phonologically similar to it. High ND words are more easily lea...

Learning to Produce Syllabic Speech Sounds via Reward-Modulated Neural Plasticity.

PloS one Jan 25, 2016
At around 7 months of age, human infants begin to reliably produce well-formed syllables containing both consonants and vowels, a behavior called canonical babbling. Over subsequent months, the frequency of canonical babbling continues to increase. H...

Using articulatory feature detectors in progressive networks for multilingual low-resource phone recognitiona).

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America Nov 1, 2024
Systems inspired by progressive neural networks, transferring information from end-to-end articulatory feature detectors to similarly structured phone recognizers, are described. These networks, connecting the corresponding recurrent layers of pre-tr...

Japanese Braille Translation Using Deep Learning - Conversion from Phonetic Characters (Kana) to Homonymic Characters (Kanji).

Studies in health technology and informatics Aug 23, 2023
A blind student writes and submits reports in Braille word processor, which is difficult for teachers to read. This study's purpose is to make a translator from Braille into mixed Kana-Kanji sentences for such teachers. Because Kanji has homonyms, it...
