Glottal inverse filtering analysis of human voice production—A review of estimation and parameterization methods of the glottal excitation and their applications

P Alku - Sadhana, 2011 - Springer
Glottal inverse filtering (GIF) refers to methods of estimating the source of voiced speech, the
glottal volume velocity waveform. GIF is based on the idea of inversion, in which the effects …

Dysarthric speech classification using glottal features computed from non-words, words and sentences

NN Prabhakera, P Alku - Interspeech, 2018 - research.aalto.fi
Dysarthria is a neuro-motor disorder resulting from the disruption of normal activity in speech
production leading to slow, slurred and imprecise (low intelligible) speech. Automatic …

Physical task stress and speaker variability in voice quality

KW Godin, JHL Hansen - EURASIP Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music …, 2015 - Springer
The presence of physical task stress induces changes in the speech production system
which in turn produces changes in speaking behavior. This results in measurable acoustic …

Investigating glottal parameters for differentiating emotional categories with similar prosodics

R Sun, E Moore, JF Torres - 2009 IEEE International …, 2009 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
