Techniques for estimating vocal-tract shapes from the speech signal
Abstract
This paper reviews methods for mapping from the acoustical properties of a speech signal to the geometry of the vocal tract that generated the signal. Such mapping techniques are studied for their potential application in speech synthesis, coding, and recognition. Mathematically, the estimation of the vocal tract shape from its output speech is a so-called inverse problem, where the direct problem is the synthesis of speech from a given time-varying geometry of the vocal tract and glottis. Different mappings are discussed: mapping via articulatory codebooks, mapping by nonlinear regression, mapping by basis functions, and mapping by neural networks. Besides being nonlinear, the acoustic-to-geometry mapping is also nonunique, i.e., more than one tract geometry might produce the same speech spectrum. The authors show how this nonuniqueness can be alleviated by imposing continuity constraints.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
