A syntactic procedure for the recognition of glottal pulses in continuous speech

摘要

Speech prosody contains an important structural information for performing speech analysis and for extracting syntactic nuclei from spoken sentences. This paper describes a procedure based on a multichannel system of epoch filters for recognizing the pulses of glottal chord vibrations by an analysis of the speech waveform. Recognition is performed by a stochastic finite state automaton automatically inferred after experiments.
