Download or read book Prosodic Featured Based Automatic Language Identification written by Niraj Singh and published by Educreation Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living beings inherently have the ability to differentiate languages as a part of human intelligence. Language Identification (LID) had been a science fiction in 1970's but today; it has been deployed in practical usage. The prosodic features of a speech are relatively simpler in their structure and are accredited to be very affective in some Language Recognition (LR) or LID tasks; irrespective of these features to be biased on numerous factors, as speaker's way of speaking, the culture and background of speaker. The book includes a series of experiments on several speech corpus with different classification or/and identification technique. At the end of each chapter, few review questions have been included and at the verge of the book, a short list of projects for research scholars has been mentioned in addition to a set of MCQs and Important questions. This book motivates for developing a multilingual LID system which can be widely used for betterment of mankind, particularly in the fields of Intelligence Police/Military) services and medical care. In an overview, we may assert that the book explores various experimental datasets, for, performance analysis of LID system with News speech and Natural Conversation speech; Joint Factor Analysis for LR on prosodic featured models and for automatic LID using i-Vector based prosodic system.
Book Synopsis Language Identification Using Spectral and Prosodic Features by : K. Sreenivasa Rao
Download or read book Language Identification Using Spectral and Prosodic Features written by K. Sreenivasa Rao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the impact of spectral features extracted from frame level, glottal closure regions, and pitch-synchronous analysis on the performance of language identification systems. In addition to spectral features, the authors explore prosodic features such as intonation, rhythm, and stress features for discriminating the languages. They present how the proposed spectral and prosodic features capture the language specific information from two complementary aspects, showing how the development of language identification (LID) system using the combination of spectral and prosodic features will enhance the accuracy of identification as well as improve the robustness of the system. This book provides the methods to extract the spectral and prosodic features at various levels, and also suggests the appropriate models for developing robust LID systems according to specific spectral and prosodic features. Finally, the book discuss about various combinations of spectral and prosodic features, and the desired models to enhance the performance of LID systems.

Book Synopsis Neural Networks in Telecommunications by : Ben Yuhas
Download or read book Neural Networks in Telecommunications written by Ben Yuhas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neural Networks in Telecommunications consists of a carefully edited collection of chapters that provides an overview of a wide range of telecommunications tasks being addressed with neural networks. These tasks range from the design and control of the underlying transport network to the filtering, interpretation and manipulation of the transported media. The chapters focus on specific applications, describe specific solutions and demonstrate the benefits that neural networks can provide. By doing this, the authors demonstrate that neural networks should be another tool in the telecommunications engineer's toolbox. Neural networks offer the computational power of nonlinear techniques, while providing a natural path to efficient massively-parallel hardware implementations. In addition, the ability of neural networks to learn allows them to be used on problems where straightforward heuristic or rule-based solutions do not exist. Together these capabilities mean that neural networks offer unique solutions to problems in telecommunications. For engineers and managers in telecommunications, Neural Networks in Telecommunications provides a single point of access to the work being done by leading researchers in this field, and furnishes an in-depth description of neural network applications.
Book Synopsis Mathematical Foundations of Speech and Language Processing by : Mark Johnson
Download or read book Mathematical Foundations of Speech and Language Processing written by Mark Johnson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speech and language technologies continue to grow in importance as they are used to create natural and efficient interfaces between people and machines, and to automatically transcribe, extract, analyze, and route information from high-volume streams of spoken and written information. The workshops on Mathematical Foundations of Speech Processing and Natural Language Modeling were held in the Fall of 2000 at the University of Minnesota's NSF-sponsored Institute for Mathematics and Its Applications, as part of a "Mathematics in Multimedia" year-long program. Each workshop brought together researchers in the respective technologies on the one hand, and mathematicians and statisticians on the other hand, for an intensive week of cross-fertilization. There is a long history of benefit from introducing mathematical techniques and ideas to speech and language technologies. Examples include the source-channel paradigm, hidden Markov models, decision trees, exponential models and formal languages theory. It is likely that new mathematical techniques, or novel applications of existing techniques, will once again prove pivotal for moving the field forward. This volume consists of original contributions presented by participants during the two workshops. Topics include language modeling, prosody, acoustic-phonetic modeling, and statistical methodology.
Book Synopsis Language Identification Using Excitation Source Features by : K. Sreenivasa Rao
Download or read book Language Identification Using Excitation Source Features written by K. Sreenivasa Rao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the contribution of excitation source information in discriminating language. The authors focus on the excitation source component of speech for enhancement of language identification (LID) performance. Language specific features are extracted using two different modes: (i) Implicit processing of linear prediction (LP) residual and (ii) Explicit parameterization of linear prediction residual. The book discusses how in implicit processing approach, excitation source features are derived from LP residual, Hilbert envelope (magnitude) of LP residual and Phase of LP residual; and in explicit parameterization approach, LP residual signal is processed in spectral domain to extract the relevant language specific features. The authors further extract source features from these modes, which are combined for enhancing the performance of LID systems. The proposed excitation source features are also investigated for LID in background noisy environments. Each chapter of this book provides the motivation for exploring the specific feature for LID task, and subsequently discuss the methods to extract those features and finally suggest appropriate models to capture the language specific knowledge from the proposed features. Finally, the book discuss about various combinations of spectral and source features, and the desired models to enhance the performance of LID systems.
Book Synopsis Automatic Assessment of Prosody in Second Language Learning by : Florian Hönig
Download or read book Automatic Assessment of Prosody in Second Language Learning written by Florian Hönig and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2017 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide there is a universal need for second language language learning. It is obvious that the computer can be a great help for this, especially when equipped with methods for automatically assessing the learner's pronunciation. While assessment of segmental pronunciation quality (i.,e. whether phones and words are pronounced correctly or not) is already available in commercial software packages, prosody (i.e. rhythm, word accent, etc.) is largely ignored--although it highly impacts intelligibility and listening effort. The present thesis contributes to closing this gap by developing and analyzing methods for automatically assessing the prosody of non-native speakers. We study the detection of word accent errors and the general assessment of the appropriateness of a speaker's rhythm. We propose a flexible, generic approach that is (a) very successful on these tasks, (b) competitive to other state-of-the-art result, and at the same time (c) flexible and easily adapted to new tasks.

Book Synopsis Automatic Language Identification Using a Segment-based Approach by : Timothy J. Hazen
Download or read book Automatic Language Identification Using a Segment-based Approach written by Timothy J. Hazen and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Automatic Language Identification (ALI) is the problem of automatically identifying the language of an utterance through the use of a computer. In 1977, House and Neuburg proposed an approach to ALI which focused on the phonotactic constraints of different languages. Their work suggested that simple language models could be used effectively for language identification if an accurate phonetic representation of an utterance could be obtained from the acoustic signal. Our research utilizes House and Neuburg's ideas as the starting point for a new segment- based approach to ALI. To develop a solid theoretical basis for the design of an ALI system, a formal probabilistic framework has been developed. This framework uses House and Neuburg's ideas as its foundation but also utilizes additional information that may be useful for ALI. Specifically, phonotactic, acoustic and prosodic information are all incorporated into the framework which provides the structure for the segment-based system. To investigate the capabilities of the new segment-based approach, the system was trained and tested using the OGI Multi-Language Telephone Speech Corpus, which consists of utterances in 10 different languages. The entire system was able to identify the language of a test utterance 48.6% of the time. To investigate the system's performance in more detail, the entire system, as well as each component of the system, was evaluated as various test conditions were altered. Overall, the analyses of the system confirmed that the phonotactic constraints of languages can be used effectively for ALI. However, it was also discovered that additional information, such as prosodic and acoustic information, can also be useful to supplement the phonotactic information."
