Motivation • Hearing loss • conductive hearing loss • sensory-neural hearing loss • mixed hearing loss • Articulation Disorder • Hard to talk with each other • Hard to learn • Speech-language pathologists usually supervise an auditory training
Introduction • Types of Articulation errors • 替代音 (Substitution) 如:『公公』 說成 『咚咚』 • 省略音 (Omission) 如:鞋 說成 ㄧㄝˊ • 添加音 (Addition) 如:『吃飯』 說成 『ㄔㄨ飯』 • 聲調錯誤 (Tone Errors) • 歪曲音 (Distortion) • 整體性的語音不清(parsing ambiguities)
Types of articulation errors • 前置化(或稱舌尖音):發音位置在前面的發音方法。 • 後置化(或稱舌根化):發音位置在舌根後的發音方法。 • 不送氣化:以不送氣音取代送氣音。 • 塞音化:以 ㄅ、ㄆ、ㄉ、ㄊ、ㄍ、ㄎ 替代其他音。 • 塞擦音化:以 ㄐ、ㄓ、ㄗ 替代 ㄒ、ㄕ、ㄙ。 • 省略聲母:ㄧ ㄨㄚ 代替 ㄒㄧ ㄍㄨㄚ 。 • 省略界音:ㄚ 代替 ㄨㄚ。 • 韻母簡化: • 去聲隨鼻韻(鼻音缺乏)。 • 複韻母簡化:以單韻母替代複韻母。 替代音 省略音

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) • MFCC • PLP • RASTA • DTW
Purpose • Speech cue identification • Objective • Distinctiveness on Acoustic cue
Methods and results • 2.1 Linguistic Analysis
DTW • Butterworth • Order-6 • Band 500Hz • Overlap 250hz • FFT • Frame 400 • Overlap 200
DTW • Euclidean Distance • dist(x, y) = |x - y| = [ (x1-y1)2 + (x2-y2)2 + ... + (xn-yn)2 ]1/2 • Boundary conditions • (p1, q1) = (1, 1), (pk, qk) = (m, n) • D(X, Y) = ∣ i(X) - j(Y)∣ + min{D(X -1, Y ), D(X -1, Y-1), D(X, Y -1)}
Materials • TIMIT • 16K Hz • 16 bit
Future work • Speech Cue Enhancement • Speech Cue Verification
