Speech problems

This paper presents our approach that addresses the problem of transplanting a source speaker’s emotional expression to a target speaker, one of the Vietnamese Language and Speech Processsing (VLSP) 2022 TTS tasks. Our approach includes a complete data preprocessing pipeline and two training algorithms.

This study explores a socially relevant problem related to teachers' conceptions of hate speech from a gender perspective present in the discourse of teaching history and social science educational practices. The methodology was used within the paradigm with a case study design, as a generalization was not intended.

In this paper, we propose the Adapt-TTS model that allows high-quality audio synthesis from a small adaptive sample without training to solve these problems. The main contributions of the paper are: 1) The extracting mel-vector (EMV) architecture allows for a better representation of speaker characteristics and speech style; 2) An improved zero-shot model with a denoising diffusion model (mel-spectrogram denoiser) component allows for new voice synthesis without training with better quality (less noise).

The book is intended mainly for intermediate students (students who have already studied the basic grammar of English). It concentrates on those structures which intermediate students want to use, but which often cause difficulty. Some advanced students who have problems with grammar will also find the book useful. There are 145 units in the book. Each unit concentrates on a particular point of grammar. Some problems (for example, the present perfect or the use of the) are covered in more than one unit. For a list of units, see the Contents at the beginning of the book.

The conceptual metaphor, LOVE IS A JOURNEY, has been identified as a process of mapping based on the Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980). However, Ahrens (2002) pointed out several problems that the CMT may encounter, especially in setting parameters to be experimentally tested.

Ebook How to teach Speaking: Part 1 includes contents: Chapter 1 we start by looking at what skilled speakers can do before looking at what they know (in Chapter 2). Chapter 3 addresses the problems faced by speakers of another language and maps out a number of priorities for the teaching of speaking. The succeeding three chapters deal with the three stages of a general approach to skill-development: awareness - raising (Chapter 4), appropriation (Chapter 5).

End-to-end models have significant potential in most languages and recently proved their robustness in ASR tasks. Many robust architectures are proposed, and among many techniques, Recurrent Neural Network – Transducer (RNN-T) shows remarkable success. However, with background noise or reverb in spontaneous speech, this architecture generally suffers from high deletion error problems.

In this paper, we describe our approach to tackle this problem: we first preprocess the training data then use it to train a FastSpeech2 acoustic model with some replacements in the external aligner model, finally we use HiFiGAN vocoder to construct the waveform.

Acoustic feedback is a major problem in openfit digital hearing aids, which significantly lowers the signal quality and limits the achievable maximum stable gain. Adaptive feedback cancellation (AFC) is a common and efficient approach, however, it introduces a biased estimate of the feedback path due to a high correlation between loudspeaker signal and the incoming signal, especially when the incoming signal is spectrally coloured, e.g., speech, music.

This thesis attempts to address the problem of how best to remedy different types of channel distortions on speech when that speech is to be used in automatic speaker recognition and verification systems. Automatic speaker recognition is when a person's voice is analysed by a machine and the person's identity is worked out by the comparison of speech features to a known set of speech features. Automatic speaker verification is when a person claims an identity and the machine determines if that claimed identity is correct or whether that person is an impostor.

The main goal of SC is to classify user reviews in a document into opinion poles, such as positive, negative, and possibly neutral sentiments. There are two popular approaches for SC: The lexicon-based approach and the machine learning-based approach. The lexiconbased approach is usually based on a dictionary of negative and positive sentiment values assigned to words. This method thus depends on human effort to define a list of sentiment words and sometimes it suffers from low coverage.

Seeing that pronunciation is one of the most important factors influencing learners’ speech intelligibility, this study investigated the sounds performed by English-majoring students at the University of Dalat. In an attempt to figure out main pronouncing errors as well as possible reasons for the students’ problems, 210 English freshmen were chosen randomly to participate in the study.

An approach to the formation of the voice signal (VS) informative features of the Vietnamese language on the basis of stationary autoregressive model coefficients is described. An original algorithm of VS segmentation based on interval estimation of speech sample numerical characteristics was developed to form local stationarity areas of the voice signal.
