Multistream articulatory feature-based models for visual speech recognition.

30 Aug 2009 We study the problem of automatic visual speech recognition (VSR) using dynamic Bayesian network (DBN)-based models consisting of multiple sequences of hidden states, each corresponding to an articulatory feature (AF) such as lip opening (LO) or lip ... Read more...

Short-duration accelerated breathing challenges affect phonation.

30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Inhaled air must be adequately humidified to prevent vocal fold drying, which is detrimental to phonation. The water content of inspired air is reduced by parameters, such as increased breathing rate and oral route. ... Read more...

Objective acoustic-phonetic speech analysis in patients treated for oral or oropharyngeal cancer.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: Speech impairment often occurs in patients after treatment for head and neck cancer. New treatment modalities such as surgical reconstruction or (chemo)radiation techniques aim at sparing anatomical structures that are correlated with ... Read more...
