The human superior temporal gyrus (STG) is critical for extracting meaningful linguistic
features from speech input. Local neural populations are tuned to acoustic-phonetic features …

Vowel onset point (VOP) is the instant at which the onset of vowel takes place during speech
production. There are significant changes occurring in the energies of excitation source …

Akustische Kommunikation wendet sich an alle wissenschaftlichen Fachrichtungen, die
bestrebt sind, ein anwendbares Verständnis der zahlreichen interdisziplinären …

In this work, a novel region switching based classification method is proposed for speech
emotion classification using vowel-like regions (VLRs) and non-vowel-like regions (non …

This paper reviews the literature related to the acoustic–phonetic analysis of speech and the
speech recognition approaches that use these types of knowledge. At first, acoustic …

Vowel-like regions (VLRs) in speech includes vowels, semi-vowels, and diphthong sound
units. VLR can be identified using a vowel-like region onset point (VLROP) event. By …

In this paper, we propose a method for detecting the vowel onset points (VOPs) for low bit
rate coded speech. VOP is the instant at which the onset of the vowel takes place in the …

This work proposes methods for detecting vowel-like regions (VLRs) and non-vowel-like
regions (non-VLRs) using excitation source information. The VLR onset and end points are …

Those learning foreign languages often experience problems in generating correct
intonation. Therefore, several attempts have been made to support the teaching of intonation …

An algorithm for automatic speech prominence detection is reported in this paper. We
describe a comparative analysis on various acoustic features for word prominence detection …
