In other studies, a speaker's body position has been used to control virtual humans by using a body-tracking system that recognizes skin color in 2D images [1].
I find that some students have an "Ah!" moment of understanding about preparing for a disaster; after experiencing one later in life, they often tell me that classroom simulations, case studies and speakers from the trenches helped to prepare them.
Multi-taper MFCC features were also recently studied in speaker verification with promising preliminary results.
In our evaluating studies, 120 speakers were selected from each database.
The proposed technique is applied for SVM based isolated digit recognition system and is studied using speaker dependent and multispeaker dependent TI46 database of isolated digits.
The study of speaker meaning and implicature is included in pragmatics, which covers the broad range of speech acts that can be performed by using words, and properties of words and sentences other than meaning, reference, and truth conditions.
Mother tongue, other tongue--they may all sound like gobbledygook to babies, but new research shows that infants can tell if someone switches to an unfamiliar language just by studying the speaker's face.
In this study, a speaker identification system is considered consisting of a feature extraction stage which utilizes both power normalized cepstral coefficients (PNCCs) and Mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC).
She received her Masters and Bachelors at Stanford and has half of a MBA from MIT Sloan (a dropout, but they're nice enough to include her as a case study and speaker).
