Familiar words but strange voices: Modelling the influence of speech variability on word recognition (2021.eacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Despite the lack of acoustic-phonetic invariance in speech, listeners can reliably recognize spoken words despite the lack aural-phonemic invariancy. |
| Approach: | They propose a deep neural model which is trained to retrieve the meaning of a word given its spoken form, a task which resembles that faced by a human listener. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is more sensitive to dialectical variation than gender variation and more related to related languages. |
