Journal ArticleDOI
Restructuring speech representations using a pitch-adaptive time-frequency smoothing and an instantaneous-frequency-based F0 extraction: possible role of a repetitive structure in sounds
TL;DR: A set of simple new procedures has been developed to enable the real-time manipulation of speech parameters by using pitch-adaptive spectral analysis combined with a surface reconstruction method in the time–frequency region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic sound stream formation based on continuity of spectral change
TL;DR: A proposed computational model that dynamically tracks and predicts changes in spectral shapes was verified in both psychophysical experiments and engineering applications and applied to phonemic restoration and segregation of two simultaneous utterances, showing the model to be effective for such engineering applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of pitch-accent information to Japanese spoken-word recognition
TL;DR: This article investigated the relation between word intelligibility in the presence of noise and the adequacy of accent type in those words and found that the spoken words with more adequate accent type were more intelligible.
Proceedings Article
A new method for speech recognition in the presence of non-stationary, unpredictable and high-level noise.
TL;DR: A new method for speech recognition in the presence of non-stationary, unpredictable and high-level noise by extending PreFEst is proposed, which does not need to know noise characteristics in advance and does not even estimate them in its process.
Proceedings Article
Pronunciation practice support system for children who have difficulty correctly pronouncing words.
TL;DR: A system with which children who have difficulty correctly pronouncing words to practice their pronunciation allows exercises to be individually tailored to each child’s pronunciation needs.
