New method uses phoneme recognition to evaluate speech articulation synthesis

Researchers have developed a new method to evaluate speech articulation synthesis by using phoneme recognition as a proxy for quality. This approach hypothesizes that articulatory features better capture phonetic nuances than traditional metrics. A neural network trained on acoustic and articulatory features from an RT-MRI dataset demonstrated that the proposed feature set is phonetically rich and aids in exploring new dimensions of speech articulation synthesis.

    Evaluating Speech Articulation Synthesis with Articulatory Phoneme Recognition

    Recent advances in machine learning and the availability of articulatory datasets allow vocal tract synthesis to be conditioned on phonetic sequences, a primary task of articulatory speech synthesis. However, quality assessment needs a better definition. Generally, ranking genera…
