Bulbar motor deterioration due to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) leads to the eventual
impairment of speech and swallowing functions. Despite these devastating consequences …

This paper reviews data collection practices in electromagnetic articulography (EMA)
studies, with a focus on sensor placement. It consists of three parts: in the first part, we …

Abstract In recent years Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) has emerged as the distance
measure of choice for virtually all time series data mining applications. For example, virtually …

This paper describes the acquisition of a new database of dysarthric speech in terms of
aligned acoustics and articulatory data. This database currently includes data from seven …

Purpose This work provides a quantitative assessment of the positional tracking accuracy of
the NDI Wave Speech Research System. Method Three experiments were completed:(a) …

The present study uses electromagnetic articulography, by which the position of tongue and
lips during speech is measured, for the study of dialect variation. By using generalized …

Purpose In this investigation, the authors determined the strength of association between
tongue kinematic and speech acoustics changes in response to speaking rate and loudness …

Recent innovations in 3D motion capture technology such as electromagnetic articulography
(EMA) are providing unprecedented access to the intricate movements of the articulators …

Disabled speech is not compatible with modern generative and acoustic-only models of
speech recognition (ASR). This work considers the use of theoretical and empirical …

Purpose To quantify the articulatory distinctiveness of 8 major English vowels and 11
English consonants based on tongue and lip movement time series data using a data-driven …
