Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrontal Arabic Fricative Consonants Characteristics among Primary School Children: Spectral Density Function ApproachNurul Ashikin Abdul-Kadir, Rubita SudirmanProblem statement: Arabic speech recognition system is un-developed until today. By using people of non-Arab nationality, the set of frontal fricative of Arabic consonants are study as the earlier step to develop the recognition system for Malaysian. As most of the developed Arabic speech recognition system for Malaysian are rarely found. Approach: The characteristic of each of the phonemes were … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 9 Aug 2011 · 7,178 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour of Thai Expressive Speech using Fujisaki's Model and Structural ModelSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In spontaneous speech communication, prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody effects on not only the naturalness but also the intelligibility of speech. Focusing on synthesis of Thai expressive speech, a number of systems has been developed for years. However, the expressive speech with various speaking styles has not been accomplished. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 8 · 9 Aug 2011 · 6,980 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifficulties of Standard Arabic Phonemes Spoken by Non-Arab Primary School Children based on Formant FrequenciesN. A. Abdul-Kadir, R. SudirmanProblem statement: The study of Malaysian Arabic phoneme is rarely found which make the references work difficult. Specific guideline on Malaysian subject is not found even though a lot of acoustic and phonetics research has been done on other languages such as English, French and Chinese. Approach: This study discussed about the correct and simplest way of Arabic phonemes pronunciation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 28 Jun 2011 · 7,465 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Robust Hybrid Approach to Enhance Speech in Mobile Communication SystemsManimegalai Govindan Sumithra, Keppana Gounder Thanuskodi, Bharathi DeepaProblem statement: The received voice signal in mobile communication is often disturbed by background noise and hence there is a need for good noise reduction methods for enhancing Speech. It is well known that denoising is a compromise between the removal of the largest possible amount of noise and the preservation of signal integrity. To address this issue, a new … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Apr 2011 · 7,305 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalytical Study on Fundamental Frequency Contours of Thai Tones using Tone-Geometrical ModelSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In tonal language speech; such as Thai, Mandarin and Vietnam, tone is an important feature of a syllable that must be taken into consideration, since tone is a supra-segmental feature in the speech prosody. Modeling of tone with high accuracy could enhance the quality of synthesized speech in the speech synthesis system. This study focuses on a model … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 7 Mar 2011 · 7,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFujisaki's Model of Fundamental Frequency Contours for Thai DialectsSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: In general, there are a number of rural dialects in Thai. However, four dialects are mainly spoken by Thai people residing in four core region including central, north, northeast and south regions. Recognizing and synthesizing Thai speech with different dialects are consequently difficult. Approach: Prosody is an important factor that must be taken into account, since the prosody … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 19 Nov 2010 · 7,269 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImplementation and Evaluation of Evolutionary Connectionist Approaches to Automated Text SummarizationUday Kulkarni, Rajesh Shardanand PrasadProblem statement: Text summarization takes care of choosing the most significant portions of text and generates coherent summaries that express the main intent of the given document. This study aims to compare the performances of the three text summarization systems developed by the authors with some of the existing Summarization systems available. These three approaches to text summarization are based … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 23 Oct 2010 · 8,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractArabic Speaker Recognition: Babylon Levantine Subset Case StudyMansour Alsulaiman, Youssef Alotaibi, Muhammad Ghulam et al.Problem statement: Researchers on Arabic speaker recognition have used local data bases unavailable to the public. In this study we would like to investigate Arabic speaker recognition using a publically available database, namely Babylon Levantine available from the Linguistic Data Consortium (LDC). Approach: Among the different methods for speaker recognition we focus on Hidden Markov Models (HMM). We studied the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2010 · 7,246 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Evaluation of Phone Duration Models for Greek Emotional SpeechAlexandros Lazaridis, Vasiliki Bourna, Nikos FakotakisProblem statement: In this study we cope with the task of phone duration modeling for Greek emotional speech synthesis. Approach: Various well established machine learning techniques are applied for this purpose to an emotional speech database consisting of five archetypal emotions. The constructed phone duration prediction models are built on phonetic, morphosyntactic and prosodic features that can be extracted only … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,066 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Modeling of Fundamental Frequency Contour for Thai Expressive SpeechSuphattharachai ChomphanProblem statement: Appropriate modeling of fundamental Frequency (F0) contour for speech is a key factor to preserve the quality of speech prosody. One successful approach has been conducted for tonal language of Mandarin Chinese. It is based on the assumption that the behavioral characteristics of vocal-fold elongation in vibration could be approximated by those of a simple forced vibrating system. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,054 accessesView PDFCite
