Information transmission and ethos of a speaker using normal and defective speech

Abstract: This study describes the measurement of information retention, speech “ interestingness,”; speaker character, and speaker authoritativeness of a speaker using “normal”; and defective speech. Support was found for the position that a speech defective speaker is perceived as less authoritative than a “normal”; speaking individual. Support in similar regard for information retention, speech “interestingness,”; and speaker character was not obtained.

Similarity measure for automatic speech and speaker recognition.

Abstract: Different speaking rates and stress patterns are known to affect the timing of speech utterances in a nonlinear and complicated way. Time normalization is, therefore, an important prerequisite in automatic speech and speaker recognition. This note describes a new approach to speech and speaker recognition based on a time‐invariant measure of “contour similarity.” The important relative timing of the different parameters representing a given utterance are preserved by the contour similarity measure defined here. The concept of contour similarity is applicable to other recognition tasks in which the available information can be represented by contours in a multidimensional space.
