▼ In humans, vocal production is typically cast as a cognitively intensive process, requiring a big brain and complex cognitive mechanisms. Recent studies have demonstrated that the vocal behavior of marmoset monkeys, a diminutive New World primate, is strikingly human-like in its dynamics and development. Considering the evolutionary gap between species, any shared neural mechanisms should be quite old. We propose that the convergent evolution of vocal behavior between marmosets and humans is partly due to neural mechanisms scaffolding upon a pre-existing arousal-regulation mechanism. We directly tested our hypothesis by recording natural changes in the adult marmoset’s arousal state as it spontaneously vocalized. We demonstrate predictable changes in the animal’s arousal state across multiple indices: heart rate, respiration rate, and motor activity. Moreover, the timing of vocal production in adult marmosets is coupled with the phase of a 0.1 Hz autonomic nervous system rhythm, the Mayer wave. The results of this study suggest that arousal dynamics are critical in assembling the timing and prediction of spontaneous primate vocalizations. We next sought to determine whether the dynamics of the autonomic nervous system can act as a scaffold for the development of behavior. We densely sampled indices of arousal, motor activity, and vocal behavior from seven infant marmosets from birth until two months of age. Consistent with the human literature, changes in motor activity are predictive of vocal development in marmoset monkeys. Further, the developmental trajectory of the autonomic nervous system is itself oscillatory and correlates to changes in both the infant’s vocal development and its motor development. We used statistical methods to extract causality between these processes. Changes in the development of the autonomic nervous system drives both the development of mature motor behavior and mature vocal production. Taken together, this dissertation argues that the autonomic nervous system is critical for the development and expression of spontaneous behavior in primates.

▼ A key question for understanding speech evolution is whether or not the vocalizations of our closest living relatives — nonhuman primates — represent the precursors to speech. Some believe that primate vocalizations are not volitional, but are instead inextricably linked to internal states like arousal with different vocalizations produced simply as a result of the animal’s changing state. However, testing the integrity of this claim has been difficult given that it is difficult to get a quantitative measure of arousal in the wild but also difficult to elicit different call-types in the lab because of the scarcity of contextual cues driving complex vocal behaviors. To address this quandary, we present a behavioral paradigm that reliably elicits different types of affiliative vocalizations from marmosets while measuring their heart rate via non-invasive electromyography (EMG). By modulating both the physical distance between marmosets and the sensory information available to them, we find that arousal levels are linked, but not inextricably, to vocal production. External factors like the calls of the partner also drive the temporal and spectral dynamics of the vocal interaction. To further examine the interplay between arousal and the processing of sensory stimuli, we examined a node in the vocal production network, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), that is known to modulate and be modulated by arousal. However, the ACC exhibits extensive structural and functional heterogeneity and so we first utilize functional ultrasound imaging, with its excellent temporal and spatial resolution, to localize vocal perception-correlated subregions of the ACC. We then performed targeted recordings of those ACC neurons during playback of different call types while simultaneously collecting EMG data. We found a significant proportion of neurons in the ACC exhibited significant but heterogeneous responses to call playback. In addition to representing different call-types, neural responses also reflect differences in the acoustic structure within a call type. When taking the marmoset’s current arousal state before call playback onset, we also show modulation of the neurons responsiveness to call type presentation and sensitivity to call features. This coupling of internal states and sensory processing may be a mechanism underlying the ability to respond adaptively and flexibly to dynamic events in the environment.

▼ Understanding human speech production is of fundamental importance for basic and applied research in human communication: from speech science and linguistics to clinical and engineering development. While the vocal tract posture and movement can be investigated using a host of techniques, the newly developed real-time (RT) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has a particular advantage - it produces complete views of the entire moving vocal tract including the pharyngeal structures in a non-invasive manner. RT-MRI promises a new means for visualizing and quantifying the spatio-temporal articulatory details of speech production and it also allows for exploring novel data-intensive, machine learning based computational approaches to speech production modeling.; The central goal of this thesis is to develop new technological capabilities and to use these novel tools for studying human vocal tract shaping during speech production. The research, which is inherently interdisciplinary, combines technological elements (to design engineering methods and systems to acquire and process novel speech production data), experimental elements (to design linguistically meaningful studies to gather useful insights) and computational elements (to explain the observed data and design predictive capabilities).; In the first chapter the use of RT-MRI as an emerging technique for speech production research studies is motivated. An outline is provided of the biomedical image acquisition and image processing challenges, potentials, and opportunities arising with the use of RT-MRI.; The second part describes novel hardware technology and signal processing algorithms which were developed to facilitate synchronous speech audio recordings during RT-MRI scans. Here, the main problem lies in the loud noise produced by the MRI acquisition process. The proposed solution incorporates digital synchronization hardware and an adaptive signal processing algorithm which allows the acquisition of speech audio with satisfactory quality for further analysis. This enables joint speech-image data acquisition that in turn allows for joint modeling of articulatory-acoustic phenomena.; The third chapter addresses the extraction of relevant geometrical features from the vast stream of MR images. In the case of the commonly used midsagittal view of the human vocal tract the geometrical features of interest are the locations of the articulators, and hence the underlying image processing problem to be solved is that of edge detection. Further complications arise from the poor MR image quality, which is compromised by the inherent trade-off between spatial, temporal resolution, and signal to noise ratio. A solution to the edge detection problem will be devised using a deformable geometrical model of the human vocal tract. Mathematically the proposed procedure relies on designing alternate gradient vector flows for the solution of a non-linear least squares optimization problem. With the new method the human vocal tract outline can be traced automatically.;… Advisors/Committee Members: Narayanan, Shrikanth S. (Committee Chair), Nayak, Krishna S.

This production had the intention to monitor the emergence of language as a multimodal instance in contexts of joint attention occurred in naturalistic situations of two motherbaby dyads, from seven to seventeen months of the child. Thus we work with the multimodal envelope perspective, i.e., the fusion of three components of the dialogism look, gestures and vocal production that emerge simultaneously. We consider the concept of multimodality proposed by McNeill (1985) as a mixture of the gesture-vocal actions. The studies in language acquisition and in nonverbal communication postulate theoretical assumptions about linguistic, paralinguistic and extralinguistic elements in a dissociated way. The first ones had as primacy the observation of interlocutors speech and writing in various contexts. The second type was justified as a complement to the linguistic and the extralinguistic elements were considered as accessories used as aids to the speech. Our results show that the mother uses the multimodal composition to address herself to the child who interacts as she acquires the three basic components of the dialogism.

Esta produção teve como intuito acompanhar a emergência da língua enquanto instância multimodal em contextos de atenção conjunta vividos em situações naturalísticas de duas díades mãe-bebê, dos 07 aos 17 meses de vida da criança. Para isso trabalhamos com a perspectiva de envelope multimodal, ou seja, a mescla de três componentes da dialogia olhar, gestos e produção vocal que emergem concomitantemente. Tomamos como premissa a noção de multimodalidade proposta por McNeill (1985) como sendo a mescla das ações gesto-vocais. Os estudos em aquisição de linguagem e de comunicação não-verbal postulavam aportes teóricos a respeito de elementos lingüísticos, paralingüísticos e extralingüísticos de forma dissociada. Os primeiros tinham como primazia a observação da fala e da escrita de interlocutores em vários contextos. O segundo tipo era justificado como complemento do lingüístico e os elementos extralingüísticos eram considerados como acessórios usados como auxiliares da fala. Nossos resultados mostram que a mãe faz uso do plano de composição multimodal para dirigir-se à criança que, por sua vez, interage à medida que adquire os três componentes básicos da dialogia.

▼ One of the primary objectives of voice research is to better understand the biomechanics of voice production and how changes in properties of the vocal folds (VFs) affect voice ability and quality. Synthetic VF models provide a way to observe how changes in geometry and material property affect voice biomechanics. This thesis seeks to evaluate an approach of using a genetic algorithm to design synthetic VF models in three ways: first, through the development of a computationally cost-effective 3D vocal fold model; second, by creating and optimizing a variation of this model; and third, by validating the approach. To reduce computation times, a user-defined function (UDF) was implemented in low-fidelity 2D and 3D computational VF models. The UDF replaced the conventional meshed fluid domain with the mechanical energy equation. The UDF was implemented in the commercial finite element code ADINA and verified to produce results that were similar to those of 2D and 3D VF models with meshed fluid domains. Computation times were reduced by 86% for 2D VF models and 74% for 3D VF models while core vibratory characteristic changes were less than 5%. The results from using the UDF demonstrate that computation times could be reduced while still producing acceptable results. A genetic algorithm optimizer was developed to study the effects of altering geometry and material elasticity on frequency, closed quotient (CQ), and maximum flow declination rate (MFDR). The objective was to achieve frequency and CQ values within the normal human physiological range while maximizing MFDR. The resulting models enabled an exploration of trends between objective and design variables. Significant trends and aspects of model variability are discussed. The results demonstrate the benefit of using a structured model exploration method to create models with desirable characteristics. Two synthetic VF models were fabricated to validate predictions made by models produced by the genetic algorithm. Fabricated models were subjected to tests where frequency, CQ, and sound pressure level were measured. Trends between computational and synthetic VF model responses are discussed. The results show that predicted frequency trends between computational and synthetic models were similar, trends for closed quotient were inconclusive, and relationships between MFDR and sound pressure level remained consistent. Overall, while discrepancies between computational and synthetic VF model results were observed and areas in need of further study are noted, the study results provide evidence of potential for using the present optimization method to design synthetic VF models.

▼ Paralinguistic features of speech communicate emotion in the human voice. In addition to semantic content, speakers imbue their messages with prosodic features comprised of acoustic variations that listeners decode to extract meaning. Psychological science refers to these acoustic variations as affective prosody. This process of encoding and decoding emotion remains a phenomenon that has yet to be acoustically operationalized. Studies aimed at sifting and searching for the salience in emotional speech are often limited to conducting new analyses on material generated by other researchers. This project presented an opportunity for analyzing the communication of emotion on a corpus of naturalistic emotional speech generated in collaboration with Penn State’s Psychology Department. To this end, fifty-five participants were recorded speaking the same semantic content in angry, happy, and sad expressive voicings in addition to a neutral tone. Classic parameters were extracted including pitch, loudness, timing, as well as other low-level descriptors (LLDs). The LLDs were compared with published evidence and theory. In general, results were congruent with previous studies for portrayals of more highly aroused emotions like anger and happiness, but less so for sadness. It was determined that a significant portion of the deviations from the scientific consensus could be explained by baseline definitions alone, i.e. whether deviations referenced neutral or emotional LLD values. A listening study was subsequently conducted in an effort to qualify and contrast the objectively determined effects with perceptual input. Only three of the fifty-five speakers were sampled due to practical concerns for testing time. The study tested whether the sampled recordings reflected naturally recognizable emotion, and the perceived intensity of these emotions. Listeners were able to discriminate the intended emotion of the speaker with success rates in excess of 87%. Perceptual intensity ratings revealed that some of the prototypical acoustical cues did not significantly correlate with the perception of emotional intensity. Results from both rounds of analysis indicate that a wealth of emotionally salient acoustical information has yet to be fully characterized.

▼ In recent times, three-dimensional computer simulations have become quite popular to model the acoustics of the vocal tract. They can overcome some of the classical limitations of one-dimensional techniques and include all intricate details of the vocal tract geometry, greatly improving the quality of the generated sounds. The finite element method (FEM) is probably the most appropriate approach for solving the underlying equations of voice. In the first part of this thesis the problem of vowel production is addressed. FEM is used to solve the wave equation for the acoustic pressure combined with a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) to account for free-field radiation conditions. This allows the simulation of acoustic waves propagating through the vocal tract and emanating from the mouth aperture. The proposed FEM approach is then validated against experiments performed with simplified vocal tract replicas. Following is an adaptation of a two-microphone transfer function method to compute vocal tract impedances, which becomes later used to analyze the radiation effects of human head simplifications on vowels. Finally, it is proposed to perform two-dimensional (2D) simulations based on a tuning process that allows 2D vocal tracts to mimic the acoustics of 3D vocal tracts, to a large extent. This results in a very good balance between computational cost and voice quality. In the second part of the thesis diphthong sounds are generated. A stabilized finite element scheme for the mixed wave equation in an Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) framework is derived for that purpose. Diphthongs are produced using both, 3D moving vocal tracts as well as 2D tuned vocal tracts. The proposed approach for vowels and diphthongs allows not only to visualize waves propagating within the vocal tract but also to listen to the corresponding generated sounds.

▼ Understanding the involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) in voice production is essential to incorporating principles of neuroplasticity into therapeutic practice for voice disorders. Early steps to attaining this goal require the identification of specific neural biomarkers of the changes occurring in the CNS from a voice disorder and its subsequent treatment. In the absence of an adequate animal vocalization model, the larynx has not been acutely and reversibly perturbed to concurrently examine the effect on both peripheral and central processing of the altered input/output. Using a unique, reversible perturbation approach, it was the purpose of this study to perturb the larynx to mimic a voice disorder and study short-term neuroplastic response. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was the neuroimaging tool of choice for this study due to its superior spatial and temporal resolution. The voice was perturbed by anesthetizing the right recurrent laryngeal nerve, with a solution of lidocaine hydrochloride and epinephrine to induce a temporary right vocal fold paralysis. The paralysis lasted for approximately 90 minutes and had an overt presentation similar to that of a true vocal fold paralysis. Behavioral and fMRI data were obtained at three time points- baseline, during the vocal fold paralysis and one hour after recovery. Patterns of activity on fMRI during the three time points were found to be distinct on both subjective examination and statistical analysis. The regions of interest examined had distinct trends in activity as a function of the paralysis. Interestingly, males and females responded differently to the paralysis and its subsequent recovery. Strong correlation was not observed between the behavioral measures and fMRI activity reflecting a disparity between the overt presentation and recovery of vocal fold paralysis and cortical activity as seen on fMRI. The fictive paralysis model employed in this study provided a perturbation model for phonation that allowed us to examine behavioral and central neural correlates for disordered phonation in a controlled environment. Although this data is representative of acute changes from a transient paralysis, it provides an insight into the response of the cortex to sudden perturbation at the peripheral phonatory mechanism.

Syftet med arbetet har varit att nå utvecklad kännedom inom vokalproduktion genom att undersöka vad som kan göras för att höja kvaliteten på sången i en musikproduktion. En viktig fråga har varit om fokus, för att nå ett gott resultat, framförallt vikten på inspelningen av sången eller om mycket också kan göras genom efterbearbetning för att nå ett gott resultat. Under detta projekt har jag valt att arbeta med tre produktioner där min egen sång står i centrum. Dessa har lite olika stilar på sången och jag har valt just dessa för att utmana mig själv och se hur de olika sångerna ska poleras för att få sin plats i en slutgiltig produktion. För produktionen har jag använt mig av Logic Pro X som DAW. Resultatet är tre produktioner där jag bedömer att sången genom de produktionsmetoder som tillämpats har blivit betydligt bättre jämfört med tidigare produktioner som jag har genomfört. Bland de metoder och tekniker som jag tillämpat ingår programmet Melodyne som jag använt för att höja sångens kvalitet genom att sången blivit tightare och renare. Även equalizer ochkompressor har bidragit till att få sången att låta jämn. En viktig slutsats är att all sång, trots omfattande bearbetning med effektiva redigeringsverktyg, skulle behöva sjungas om innan de aktuella låtarna kan publiceras genom ett eventuellt släpp.

The aim of the work has been to gain advanced knowledge in vocal production by investigating different methods to raise the quality of the vocal parts in a music production. An important question has been whether the focus, to achieve a good result, mainly has to be the recording of the song or whether much can be done through post-processing in order to achieve a good result. During this project I have chosen to work with three productions where I sing the vocal parts myself. These have slightly different styles on the song and I have chosen just these to challenge myself and how to edit and produce the vocal part for at good result in the final production. For the production I have used Logic Pro X as DAW. The result is three productions where the production methods used, from my view, clearly has contributed to a better result compared with productions that I previously have performed. The methods and techniques that I have applied include the Melodyne software, which I have used to improve the quality of the song by making the song tighter and cleaner. Also equalizer and compressor have been used to improve the sound quality. However, it is important to conclude that the vocal parts in the productions, despite extensive processing with efficient editing tools, would need to be re-recorded before the songs can be published.

Cette thèse propose une réflexion sur le développement du sens musical de l’enfant tunisien de 6 à 13 ans dans le contexte musical particulier du XXIème siècle. La problématique de base est de savoir si la culture musicale tunisienne qui repose principalement sur une esthétique modale arabe favorise le développement d’un ensemble d’habitudes d’écoutes chez l’enfant tunisien en rapport avec le système modal arabe. Peut-on alors postuler l’existence d’un éventuel « sens modal » chez l’enfant tunisien qui se développe progressivement de 6 à 13 ans et qui favorise l’acquisition des éléments caractéristiques du système modal tels que les intervalles spécifiques à la gamme arabe, la hiérarchie modale et les formules-types spécifiques à un mode ? Dans son aspect théorique, cette étude qui revêt une dimension psychologique passe en revue l’ensemble de travaux en psychologie de la musique et en psychologie du développement musical qui se sont intéressés à l’étude de la perception musicale en général et à la perception de la tonalité en particulier. Dans son aspect pratique, elle reprend un principe d’expérience effectué par Le Professeur Imberty dans son étude de l‘acquisition des structures tonales chez l’enfant occidental. Cette expérience qui a été réadaptée au contexte de la musique modale repose sur l’idée de la succession de trois épreuves : une première épreuve de mémorisation immédiate, une deuxième épreuve d’achèvement mélodique et une troisième épreuve de production vocale. Mots clefs : Développement musical - sens musical- système modal arabe - enfant tunisien- mémorisation- achèvement mélodique – production vocale

The present thesis offers a reflection on the development of 6-to-13 year-old Tunisian children’s musical awareness in the musical context of the XXI century. The basic argument here is whether the Tunisian musical culture that resides primarily in Arabic modal aesthetical system promotes the development of some listening habits among Tunisian children. Also postulated is the development of a modal awareness among the of 6-to-13 years old Tunisian children which boosts the acquisition of particular features of the modal system such as the specific intervals in the range Arab modal scale, the modal hierarchy, and standard formulas specific to a given mode. In its theoretical aspect, this study holds a psychological dimension in its review of literature attendant to the disciplines of psychology of music and musical developmental psychology which are concerned with the study of musical perception in general and the perception of tone in particular. In its practical aspect, the study draws on experimental model advanced by Professor Imberty in his account of the acquisition of the tonal structure among the Western children. The experimental procedure here has been adapted to the context of modal music which is based on the idea of three successive testing episodes related to the working memory, melodic attainment, and melodic vocal production.Keywords: Musical development - musical awareness - Arabic…

Dans cette thèse, nous avons utilisé les données de l’IRM du conduit vocal pour étudier la production de la parole. La première partie consiste en l’étude de l’impact que le vélum, l’épiglotte et la position de la tête a sur la phonation de cinq voyelles françaises. Des simulations acoustiques ont été utilisées pour comparer les formants des cas étudiés avec la référence afin de mesurer leur impact. Pour cette partie du travail, nous avons utilisé des IRM statiques en 3D. Comme la parole est généralement une phénomène dynamique une question s’est posée, à savoir s’il serait possible de traiter les données 3D afin d’incorporer des informations temporelles de la parole continue. Par conséquent, la deuxième partie présente quelques algorithmes que l’on peut utiliser pour améliorer les données de production de la parole. Plusieurs transformations d’images ont été combinées afin de générer des estimations des formes du conduit vocal qui sont plus informatives que les originales. À ce stade, nous avons envisagé, outre l’amélioration des données de production de la parole, de créer un modèle de référence générique qui pourrait fournir des informations améliorées non pas pour un sujet spécifique, mais globalement pour la parole. C’est pourquoi nous avons consacré la troisième partie l’étude d’un algorithme permettant de créer un atlas spatio-temporel de l’appareil vocal qui peut être utilisé comme référence ou standard pour l’étude de la parole car il est indépendant du locuteur. Enfin, la dernière partie de la thèse, fait référence à une sélection de questions ouvertes du domaine qui restent encore sans réponse, quelques pistes intéressantes que l’on peut développer à partir de cette thèse et quelques approches potentielles qui pourraient être envisager afin de répondre à ces questions.

In this thesis we used MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) data of the vocal tract to study speech production. The first part consist of the study of the impact that the velum, the epiglottis and the head position has on the phonation of five french vowels. Acoustic simulations were used to compare the formants of the studied cases with the reference in order to measure their impact. For this part of the work, we used 3D static MR (Magnetic Resonance) images. As speech is usually a dynamic phenomenon, a question arose, whether it would be possible to process the 3D data in order to incorporate dynamic information of continuous speech. Therefore the second part presents some algorithms that one can use in order to enhance speech production data. Several image transformations were combined in order to generate estimations of vocal tract shapes which are more informative than the original ones. At this point, we envisaged apart from enhancing speech production data, to create a generic speaker model that could provide enhanced information not for a specific subject, but globally for speech. As a result, we devoted the third part in the investigation of an algorithm that one can use to create a spatiotemporal atlas of the vocal tract which can…

▼ The scientific goal of this dissertation was to carefully study the signal structure of killer whale communications and vocal complexity and link them to behavioral circumstances. The overall objective of this research sought to provide insight into killer whale call content and usage which may be conveying information to conspecifics in order to maintain group cohesion. Data were collected in the summers of 2006 and 2007 in Johnstone Strait, British Columbia. For both individuals and small groups, vocalizations were isolated using a triangular hydrophone array and the behavioral movement patterns were captured by a theodolite and video camera positioned on a cliff overlooking the hyrophone locations. This dissertation is divided into four analysis chapters. In Chapter 3, discriminant analysis was used to validate the four N04 call subtypes which were originally parsed due to variations in slope segments. The first two functions of the discriminant analysis explained 97% of the variability. Most of the variability for the N04 call was found in the front convex and the terminal portions of the call, while very little variability was found in the center region of the call. This research revealed that individual killer whales produced multiple subtypes of the N04 call. No correlations of behaviors to acoustic parameters obtained were found. The aim of the Chapter 4 was to determine if killer whale calling behavior varied prior to and after the animals had joined. Pulsed call rates were found to be greater pre- compared to post- joining events. Two-way vocal exchanges were more common occurring 74% of the time during pre-joining events. In Chapter 5, initiated and first response to calls varied between age/sex class groups when mothers were separated from an offspring. Solo mothers and calves initiated pulsed calls more often than they responded. Most of the no vocal responses were due to mothers who were foraging. Finally, observations of the frequency split in N04 calls discussed in Chapter 6 showed that the higher frequency component (HFC) was always associated with sideband 7 (SB7) of the lower frequency component (LFC). Insight into Northern Resident killer whale intra-group vocal dynamics would aid our understanding of vocal behaviors of many other marine mammal species that rely on vocal exchanges for prey capture, group movement or survival. This is the first study to focus on killer whale vocal content and usage as it pertains to intra-group dynamics for 1) mother and offspring separations and 2) for all individuals prior to joining events, as well as 3) individual usage in a diverging pulsed call. It is also the first time the N04 call has been parsed into subtypes.

▼ The goal of this work is to enhance the robustness and efficiency of the multimodal human states recognition task. Human states recognition can be considered as a joint term for identifying/verifing various kinds of human related states, such as biometric identity, language spoken, age, gender, emotion, intoxication level, physical activity, vocal tract patterns, ECG QT intervals and so on. I performed research on the aforementioned states recognition problems and my focus is to increase the performance while reduce the computational cost. ❧ I start by extending the well known total variability i-vector modeling (a factor analysis on the concatenated GMM mean supervectors) to the simplified supervised i-vector modeling to enhance the robustness and efficiency. First, by concatenating the label vector and the linear classifier matrix at the end of the mean supervector and the i-vector factor loading matrix, respectively, the traditional i-vectors are extended to the label regularized supervised i-vectors. This supervised i-vectors are optimized to not only reconstruct the mean supervectors well but also minimize the mean square error between the original and the reconstructed label vectors, thus can make the supervised i-vectors more discriminative in terms of the label information regularized. Second, I perform the factor analysis (FA) on the pre-normalized GMM first order statistics supervector to ensure each Gaussian component's statistics sub-vector is treated equally in the FA which reduce the computational cost by a factor of 25. Since there is only one global total frame number in the equation, I make a global table of the resulted matrices against its log value. By checking with the table, the computational cost of each utterance's i-vector extraction is further reduced by 4 times with small quantization error. I demonstrate the utility of the simplified supervised i-vector representation on both the language identification (LID) and speaker verification (SRE) tasks, achieved comparable or better performance with significant computational cost reduction. ❧ Inspired by the recent success of sparse representation on face recognition, I explored the possibility to adopt sparse representation for both representation and classification in this multimodal human sates recognition problem. For classification purpose, a sparse representation computed by l1-minimization (to approximate the l0 minimization) with quadratic constraints was proposed to replace the SVM on the GMM mean supervectors and by fusing the sparse representation based classification (SRC) method with SVM, the overall system performance was improved. Second, by adding a redundant identity matrix at the end of the original over-complete dictionary, the sparse representation is made more robust to variability and noise. Third, both the l1 norm ratio and the background normalized (BNorm) l2 residual ratio are used and shown to outperform the conventional l2 residual ratio in the verification task. I showed the usage of SRC on GMM mean supervectors, total… Advisors/Committee Members: Narayanan, Shrikanth S. (Committee Chair), Kuo, C.-C. Jay (Committee Member), Ortega, Antonio K.

▼ Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful non-invasive imaging modality, but is relatively slow compared to alternatives such as X-ray and ultrasound. Accelerating MRI scans has been of the great interest over the past several years and the acceleration of upper airway MRI, in particular, is a primary focus of this thesis. Rapid and real-time MRI can be used to capture tissue dynamics (e.g., the tongue/velum during speech, or the beating heart) or to reduce scan time. Rapid MRI can be achieved through the use of novel acquisition and reconstruction methods. Acquisition technologies such as echo-planar imaging and spiral imaging are effective at improving temporal resolution, but introduce additional image artifacts. Image reconstruction techniques such as parallel imaging and compressed sensing accelerate acquisition speed by highly undersampling Fourier data and improve image quality by removing spatial aliasing artifacts.; In this dissertation, I present four methods that accelerate MRI and manage the associated artifacts. First, a new interleaved echo-planar imaging technique is presented and applied to real-time interactive cardiac MRI. When combined with parallel imaging reconstruction, this enables automatic correction of ghosting artifacts and maintains temporal resolution. Second, a method for accelerated three-dimensional (3D) upper airway imaging is presented. The method adopts compressed sensing for acceleration and enables extraction of a whole 3D vocal tract during a single trial of sustained sound production. Hence, it is free from image mis-registration problem and dramatically improves throughput in data acquisition. Third, a novel acquisition scheme based on a golden-ratio spiral temporal view order is presented and applied to real-time speech MRI. This provides more flexible retrospective selection of temporal resolution in vocal tract imaging than conventional spiral acquisition. I demonstrate its effectiveness at capturing rapid motion of articulators (e.g., tongue and velum) in nasal sound production. Finally, a novel 16-channel receive coil is described that is highly sensitive to the upper airway regions of interest (e.g., lips, tongue, soft palate). Its higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and acceleration in parallel imaging is demonstrated by comparing it with widely available commercial coils. Advisors/Committee Members: Nayak, Krishna S.

▼ Asymmetries of the vocal folds and vocal fold vibration are key features underlying unilateral vocal fold motion impairment (VFMI). The knowledge of what particular asymmetries contribute to breathy voice and which asymmetries must be eliminated to re-establish normal voice will be important to improving evaluation and treatment of VFMI. It was hypothesized that several structural and vibratory asymmetries should lead to predictable changes in the glottal area, flow, and acoustic waveforms, and subsequently a perceived breathy voice quality. The purpose of this project was threefold: 1) to determine how specific vocal fold structural and vibratory asymmetries alter vocal function and perceived voice quality, 2) to determine the improvement in vocal function and voice quality in an abnormal voice with elimination of individual asymmetries, and 3) to develop a battery of vocal function measures that vary with dysphonia in a predictable manner. The approach was to use a computational kinematic model of vocal fold vibration that allows for differential left/right control of parameters such as vocal fold adduction, medial surface bulging, vibratory nodal point, phase, amplitude of vibration, and fundamental frequency. The resultant signals were subjected to aerodynamic and acoustic measurement as well as perceptual rating of voice quality. Results revealed that the degree of vocal process separation was the most influential parameter tested, though asymmetry of bulging, nodal point ratio, and starting phase worsened normal voice quality. Conversely, increased symmetry of bulging, nodal point ratio, amplitude of vibration and starting phase improved disordered voice quality. The amount of improvement to disordered voices varied based on the number of other asymmetries present. None of the six vocal function measures tested were primarily responsive to one particular model parameter, though four measures generally decreased as vocal process separation increased: maximum flow declination rate (MFDR), spectral slope (B0-B2), cepstral peak prominence (CPP), and harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR). Two of the measures, MFDR and CPP, co-varied with each of the five parameters and robustly correlated with perceived severity.

▼ Linear prediction and formant synthesizers are based on a rather approximate model of speech production physiology, using analysis or "identification" algorithms of natrual speech to overcome the model limitations and to synthesize good quality speech. On the contrary, articulatory synthesizers are based on a more exact speech production model, and do not use identification algorithms to derive the model parameters directly from the natural speech waveform. This dissertation shows that the amount of physiological detail captured by the articulatory synthesis method is sufficient for the generation of high quality synthetic speech and for the simulation of physiological and pathological aspects of speech that are reported in the literature. Articulatory synthesis of speech represents the acoustic properties of the vocal cavities by means of modeling and numerical simulation techniques that are reported in Chapters 3 and 4. We have been able to guarantee the stability of the numerical method and to halve the number of differential equations that must be solved for the simulation of the sound propagation in the vocal tract (Chapter 4). In the Appendix we present a new and more efficient algorithm for the simulation of the vocal cavity acoustics which can be efficiently implemented with parallel processing hardware. Interactive graphic software (Chapter 5) has been developed to represent the configurations of the vocal cavities and to provide us with a convenient interface for the manipulation of the geometric model of the vocal cavities. Chapter 6 employs the developed articulatory synthesis system for the simulation of different aspects of speech processing, for modeling speech physiology, and testing theories of linguistics reported in the literature. We discuss and illustrate such cases as source tract interaction, EGG modeling, onset spectra of voiced stops at consonantal release, the effects of yielding walls on phonation, sound intensity reduction during nasalization and glottal least square inverse filtering.

The human voice may convey meaningful information about socially and evolutionarily relevant characteristics of the vocalizer. In turn, listeners may readily evaluate personal characteristics, such as body size, on the basis of nonverbal voice features. Research investigating vocal communication of physical size in humans has focused on two salient and largely independent voice features, fundamental frequency and/or corresponding harmonics (perceived as voice pitch) and formant frequencies (resonance frequencies of the supralaryngeal vocal tract). However, the degree to which fundamental and formant frequencies reliably predict variation in body size controlling for sex and age, and their relative role in the perception or accurate estimation of body size, has to date been unclear. In the current thesis, using meta-analysis, I establish that formants reliably predict variation in men’s and women’s heights and weights. In contrast, fundamental frequency only weakly predicts men’s heights and women’s weights. These findings corroborate work on many other mammals whose vocal production, like humans, follows the source-filter model. Despite the lack of a robust physical relationship between fundamental frequency and size within sexes, I further demonstrate that listeners utilize voice pitch to accurately gauge men’s relative height. My research suggests that voice pitch indirectly facilitates accurate size assessment by providing a carrier signal (i.e., dense harmonics) for formants. This is the first evidence that pitch does not confound accurate size estimation. Finally, I demonstrate that voices with lowered pitch, but not raised pitch, are perceived as larger when projected from a low than high spatial location. These results suggest that strong cross-modal perceptual biases linking low pitch to low elevation and large size may, in some contexts, cause errors in size estimation. Taken together, this thesis provides a detailed account of human vocal communication of body size, which can play a meaningful role in sexual and social contexts.
