This book was released on 2008 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speech audiometry materials are essential for thorough audiological testing. One aspect of speech audiometry is evaluating an individual's speech recognition threshold (SRT). Recorded materials for SRT are available in many languages; however there are no widely published recorded SRT materials available in the Thai language. The goal of this study was to develop relatively psychometrically equivalent SRT materials for evaluating the hearing abilities of native speakers of the Thai language. To accomplish this, 90 commonly used bisyllabic Thai words were digitally recorded by a male and a female talker and evaluated by 20 native Thai listeners. Twenty-eight words with relatively steep and homogeneous psychometric function slopes were selected and adjusted to reduce threshold variability. These 28 selected words were digitally recorded onto compact disc to facilitate SRT testing for native Thai speakers.

Download or read book An Acoustic Study of Syllable Onsets written by Visarut Ahkuputra and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To develop a new acoustic speech units on modelling of the Thai onset units. The concept of onset and rhyme units is applied to Thai continuous speech recognition. Thai syllables are acoustically analysed and found that a syllable is composed of a pair of onset and rhyme units. The onset unit incorporates transitional period existed between releasing consonant and its adjacent vowel. The rhyme unit covers both vowel and arresting consonant. The transitional period has unique acoustic characteristics depending on releasing consonant and vowel which is crucial in recognition of the consonant. Two acoustic models of the onset-rhyme unit are introduced in this dissertation-Phonotactic Onset-Rhyme Models (PORMs) and Contextual Onset-Rhyme Models (CORMs). The PORMs consider the same releasing consonant in different context as different models. This results in 792 onset units and 200 rhyme units. The CORMs consider the same releasing consonant within similar short-long vowel context as the same models. The number of onset units is then reduced to only 297 units. In modelling of the onset units, the onset unit overlaps over vowel seqment of rhyme unit to cover transitional period between releasing consonant and adjacent vowel. Two overlapping techniques are proposed in modelling of the onset units-fixed duration overlap and variable duration overlap. The fixed duration overlap has constant duration at 10, 20, or 30 ms into the vowel segment. The variable duration overlap has variable duration at either 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, or 25% of the vowel segment. Due to limited speech data and only one male speaker, only partial set of the onset and rhyme units are modelled in the speaker-dependent recognition system. The PORMs and CORMs contain 384 onset units and 218 onset units, respectively. Both models share the same 144 rhyme units. Acoustic models of these onset and rhyme units are created using Hidden Markov Models. The lowest onset error rate achieved is 10.38% using the CORMs at 25% overlap. Considering both onset and rhyme units, the PORMs provide better word error rate at 13.53% using 20% overlap with no grammar. The CORMs give out 16.51% word error rate at 15% overlap. The phone models give out 37.12% word error rate. Hence, the PORMs outperform the phone models up to 55.76% reduction in word error rate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary of grammatical terms covers both current and traditional terminology in syntax and morphology. It includes descriptive terms, the major theoretical concepts of the most influential grammatical frameworks, and the chief terms from mathematical and computational linguistics. It contains over 1500 entries, providing definitions and examples, pronunciations, the earliest sources of terms and suggestions for further reading, and recommendations about competing and conflicting usages. The book focuses on non-theory-boumd descriptive terms, which are likely to remain current for some years. Aimed at students and teachers of linguistics, it allows a reader puzzled by a grammatical term to look it up and locate further reading with ease.

Book excerpt: Notes that in the decade since the first edition, speech audiometry has been almost entirely replaced by electrophysiological tests in many countries for advanced diagnosis, but that many countries do not have such sophisticated equipment or training, and that audiology is still used for rehabilitation. Explains such aspects as the basic properties of speech, speech tests in quiet and noise as a measure of auditory processing, equipment and its calibration, speech tests of hearing for children, and experiences in a number of countries and institutions.

Book excerpt: This classic and authoritative student textbook contains information that is not over simplified and can be used to solve the real world problems encountered by noise and vibration consultants as well as the more straightforward ones handled by engineers and occupational hygienists in industry. The book covers the fundamentals of acoustics, theoretical concepts and practical application of current noise control technology. It aims to be as comprehensive as possible while still covering important concepts in sufficient detail to engender a deep understanding of the foundations upon which noise control technology is built. Topics which are extensively developed or overhauled from the fourth edition include sound propagation outdoors, amplitude modulation, hearing protection, frequency analysis, muffling devices (including 4-pole analysis and self noise), sound transmission through partitions, finite element analysis, statistical energy analysis and transportation noise. For those who are already well versed in the art and science of noise control, the book will provide an extremely useful reference. A wide range of example problems that are linked to noise control practice are available on www.causalsystems.com for free download.

Download or read book Speech Processing in the Auditory System written by Steven Greenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-09 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although speech is the primary behavioral medium by which humans communicate, its auditory basis is poorly understood, having profound implications on efforts to ameliorate the behavioral consequences of hearing impairment and on the development of robust algorithms for computer speech recognition. In this volume, the authors provide an up-to-date synthesis of recent research in the area of speech processing in the auditory system, bringing together a diverse range of scientists to present the subject from an interdisciplinary perspective. Of particular concern is the ability to understand speech in uncertain, potentially adverse acoustic environments, currently the bane of both hearing aid and speech recognition technology. There is increasing evidence that the perceptual stability characteristic of speech understanding is due, at least in part, to elegant transformations of the acoustic signal performed by auditory mechanisms. As a comprehensive review of speech's auditory basis, this book will interest physiologists, anatomists, psychologists, phoneticians, computer scientists, biomedical and electrical engineers, and clinicians.
