▼ The main focus of this thesis is the enhancement of the statistical framework employed for underdetermined T-F masking blind separation of speech. While humans are capable of extracting a speech signal of interest in the presence of other interference and noise; actual speech recognition systems and hearing aids cannot match this psychoacoustic ability. They perform well in noise and reverberant free environments but suffer in realistic environments. Time-frequency masking algorithms based on computational auditory scene analysis attempt to separate multiple sound sources from only two reverberant stereo mixtures. They essentially rely on the sparsity that binaural cues exhibit in the time-frequency domain to generate masks which extract individual sources from their corresponding spectrogram points to solve the problem of underdetermined convolutive speech separation. Statistically, this can be interpreted as a classical clustering problem. Due to analytical simplicity, a finite mixture of Gaussian distributions is commonly used in T-F masking algorithms for modelling interaural cues. Such a model is however sensitive to outliers, therefore, a robust probabilistic model based on the Student's t-distribution is first proposed to improve the robustness of the statistical framework. This heavy tailed distribution, as compared to the Gaussian distribution, can potentially better capture outlier values and thereby lead to more accurate probabilistic masks for source separation. This non-Gaussian approach is applied to the state-of the-art MESSL algorithm and comparative studies are undertaken to confirm the improved separation quality. A Bayesian clustering framework that can better model uncertainties in reverberant environments is then exploited to replace the conventional expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm within a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) framework. A variational Bayesian (VB) approach is then applied to the MESSL algorithm to cluster interaural phase differences thereby avoiding the drawbacks of MLE; specifically the probable presence of singularities and experimental results confirm an improvement in the separation performance. Finally, the joint modelling of the interaural phase and level differences and the integration of their non-Gaussian modelling within a variational Bayesian framework, is proposed. This approach combines the advantages of the robust estimation provided by the Student's t-distribution and the robust clustering inherent in the Bayesian approach. In other words, this general framework avoids the difficulties associated with MLE and makes use of the heavy tailed Student's t-distribution to improve the estimation of the soft probabilistic masks at various reverberation times particularly for sources in close proximity. Through an extensive set of simulation studies which compares the proposed approach with other T-F masking algorithms under different scenarios, a significant improvement in terms of objective and subjective performance measures is achieved.

▼ Dysphonia affects one’s ability to produce voice. Because voice is the most fundamental component of speech, it is not surprising that many speakers with dysphonia report decreased intelligibility in everyday communication environments. Despite this report, intelligibility is not routinely measured in clinical assessment of dysphonia. Because the intelligibility deficit is most noticeable in noisy environments, measuring the deficit requires thorough understanding of the interaction between dysphonia, background noise and intelligibility. Understanding this interaction would also help development of treatment approaches for maximizing intelligibility for chronically dysphonic patients. The objective of this project was to establish experimental models for investigating this interaction. In particular, potential of perceptual and acoustic approaches were examined. The overarching goal of this research is to develop a clinical tool for assessment of intelligibility in dysphonic speech and treatment approaches for improving the intelligibility deficit. Two speech perception experiments were conducted to determine the effect of background noise on intelligibility. The first study measured intelligibility with a transcription-based method in quiet and noise. The second study measured intelligibility with a rating-based method in three levels of noise. Correlation between these measurements was examined to evaluate their agreement. The results indicated that these measurements strongly correlate; however, their relationship with ratings of voice quality significantly differed. These findings indicate that both of these measures could be used to evaluate intelligibility of dysphonic speech; however, they are not equivalent measures. The acoustic studies were conducted for two purposes: 1) to examine utility of an existing clinical acoustic measure, cepstral peak prominence (CPP), for prediction of intelligibility deficit in dysphonic speech, and 2) to explore potential of a preclinical tool, the landmark-based speech analysis algorithm, for characterizing linguistic aspects of dysphonic speech. The results of the CPP study indicated that the measure only moderately predicts intelligibility, thus it cannot be used alone as an acoustic marker for intelligibility. Two studies were conducted with a landmark-based speech analysis program. The first study used the analysis to characterize normal adult speech with standard clinical speech material. Results of this study demonstrated the expression pattern of landmarks, acoustic markers of articulatory events, could be used as a blueprint for investigating disordered speech acoustics. The second study evaluated whether this analysis is capable of describing a difference between dysphonic and normal speech. Results of these studies suggested that landmark-based analysis an effective method for detecting dysphonic speech. Advisors/Committee Members: Boyce, Suzanne (Committee Chair).

Medical fields requires fast, simple and noninvasive methods of diagnostic techniques. Several methods are available and possible because of the growth of technology that provides the necessary means of collecting and processing signals. The present thesis details the work done in the field of voice signals. New methods of analysis have been developed to understand the complexity of voice signals, such as nonlinear dynamics aiming at the exploration of voice signals dynamic nature. The purpose of this thesis is to characterize complexities of pathological voice from healthy signals and to differentiate stuttering signals from healthy signals. Efficiency of various acoustic as well as non linear time series methods are analysed. Three groups of samples are used, one from healthy individuals, subjects with vocal pathologies and stuttering subjects. Individual vowels/ and a continuous speech data for the utterance of the sentence "iruvarum changatimaranu" the meaning in English is "Both are good friends" from Malayalam language are recorded using a microphone . The recorded audio are converted to digital signals and are subjected to analysis.Acoustic perturbation methods like fundamental frequency (FO), jitter, shimmer, Zero Crossing Rate(ZCR) were carried out and non linear measures like maximum lyapunov exponent(Lamda max), correlation dimension (D2), Kolmogorov exponent(K2), and a new measure of entropy viz., Permutation entropy (PE) are evaluated for all three groups of the subjects. Permutation Entropy is a nonlinear complexity measure which can efficiently distinguish regular and complex nature of any signal and extract information about the change in dynamics of the process by indicating sudden change in its value. The results shows that nonlinear dynamical methods seem to be a suitable technique for voice signal analysis, due to the chaotic component of the human voice. Permutation entropy is well suited due to its sensitivity to uncertainties, since the pathologies are characterized by an increase in the signal complexity and unpredictability. Pathological groups have higher entropy values compared to the normal group. The stuttering signals have lower entropy values compared to the normal signals.PE is effective in charaterising the level of improvement after two weeks of speech therapy in the case of stuttering subjects. PE is also effective in characterizing the dynamical difference between healthy and pathological subjects. This suggests that PE can improve and complement the recent voice analysis methods available for clinicians. The work establishes the application of the simple, inexpensive and fast algorithm of PE for diagnosis in vocal disorders and stuttering subjects.

▼ Há uma vasta discussão nos estudos que consideram a manifestação e origem da gagueira. Frequentemente, os estudos tratam a gagueira como uma manifestação que se dá no plano do corpo: respiração, fator genético, hereditário, neurológico. Hoje, as propostas terapêuticas mais conhecidas seguem os princípios da Psicologia Experimental, Social, ou da Psicanálise, da Filosofia fenomenológica e, especialmente, da Biologia (neurologia e genética). Os estudiosos preocupam-se em apontar um local específico no corpo daquele que gagueja ou no levantamento dos sintomas. Nesta pesquisa, utilizaremos como aporte teórico a Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, tal como delineada por Pêcheux. A Análise do Discurso (AD) toma por base o discurso como estrutura e acontecimento, enquanto ―efeito de sentido entre locutores‖ e propõe a noção de funcionamento. Ao analisar a gagueira a partir desse aspecto, propomos dar ênfase à produção discursiva do sujeito que gagueja. Ao afirmarmos assim, acreditamos que a gagueira é vista como acontecimento linguístico discursivo, diretamente relacionado às condições de produção de quem fala. Os objetivos principais desta pesquisa serão analisar as características linguístico-discursivas da gagueira em sujeitos que gaguejam, participantes de terapia fonoaudiológica em grupo, e identificar formações imaginárias e discursivas no discurso de sujeitos com gagueira. Para a análise do discurso dos sujeitos que gaguejam serão utilizados recortes discursivos retirados de transcrições das gravações das sessões terapêuticas em grupo do Grupo de Estudo e Atendimento à Gagueira (GEAG) da UNICAP. O grupo é constituído por sujeitos adultos que apresentam queixa de gagueira na fala, que, após uma triagem fonoaudiológica, são encaminhados para o grupo terapêutico e, semanalmente, reúnemse com as terapeutas. As sessões foram gravadas em áudio, posteriormente transcritas e analisadas à luz da Análise do Discurso. As análises se dão a partir de sequências discursivas, e, após as análises, nelas desvelam-se as formações imaginárias que o sujeito tem de si (como sujeito que gagueja) e de seus interlocutores. São conceitos como de antecipação, silenciamento, discurso de impossibilidade que se apresentam nos discurso desses sujeitos. Na proposta terapêutica do grupo, os sujeitos são levados a questionar e o terapeuta interpreta e põe em questão o que foi dito pelo sujeito, levandoo a fazer reflexões sobre o próprio discurso. Conclui-se a dissertação, determinando o espaço discursivo como o lugar da gagueira, diretamente relacionado às condições de produção do sujeito. Nesse processo, vê-se a necessidade da ressignificação da concepção de fluência e disfluência. Através das análises, reconhecemos as situações discursivas de silenciamento, estratégias de fluência que reafirmam o sujeito como sujeito-gago.

▼ Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease. Statistics show that nearly 90% of people impaired with PD develop voice and speech disorders. Speech production impairments in PD subjects typically result in hypophonia and consequently, poor speech signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in noisy environments and inferior speech intelligibility and quality. Assessment, monitoring, and improvement of the perceived quality and intelligibility of Parkinsonian voice and speech are, therefore, paramount. In the first study of this thesis, the perceived quality of sustained vowels produced by PD patients was assessed through objective predictors. Subjective quality ratings of sustained vowels were collected from 51 PD patients, on and off the Levodopa medication, and 7 control subjects. Features extracted from the sustained vowel recordings were combined using linear regression (LR) and support vector regression (SVR). An objective metric that combined linear prediction and harmonicity features resulted in a high correlation of 0.81 with subjective ratings, higher than the performance reported in the literature. The second study focused on the prediction of amplified Parkinsonian speech quality. Speech amplifiers are used by PD patients to counteract hyperphonia. To benchmark the amplifier performance, subjective ratings of the quality of speech samples from 11 PD patients and 10 control subjects using 7 different speech amplifiers in different background noise conditions were collected. Objective quality predictors were then developed in combination with machine learning algorithms such as deep learning (DL). It was shown that the speech amplifiers differentially affect Parkinsonian speech quality and that the composite objective metric resulted in a correlation of 0.85 with subjective speech quality ratings. In the third study, a new signal-to-noise feedback (SNF) device was designed and developed to help PD patients control their speech SNR, intelligibility, and quality. The proposed SNF device contained dual ear-level microphones for estimating the speech SNR, a throat accelerometer for reliable voice activity detection, and visual/auditory alarms when the produced speech was below a certain threshold. Performance evaluation of this device in noisy environments demonstrated significant improvements in speech SNR, perceived intelligibility, and predicted quality, especially in high background noise levels.

Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2014.

This study investigates a talk show host's questioning, active listening and coparticipating practices in story elciting and narrating phases in a Korean television talk show, particularly focusing on the use of reported speech and bodily actions. The host's use of reported speech was quite noteworthy because the utterances realized in a form of reported speech are not exclusively "reports" of past events. Viewing reported speech as a creative linguistic resource, instances of reported speech that were not only uttered, but also left unsaid are examined. Unexpressed instances of reported speech include self-quotations, conjectures, inferences and hypothetical utterances. This study's data consists of 1,045 minutes of Korean TV talk show. The selected guest speakers are prominent individuals from varying fields. This research is primarily concerned with (1) how the host brings the guest speakers' past experience into the present moment and heightens the narratives' tellability; (2) how the host achieves his institutional role; and (3) how the host displays his involvement in the storytelling and collaboratively co-constructs the story-in-progress with the guest speaker. This study suggests that in questioning sequence, the host uses reported speech to display a less knowledgeable epistemic status; to communicate the tellability of a guest's non-normative speech event; and to prompt the guest's version of story. In listening sequence, the host's use of quoted formulation conveys his immediate understanding, committed affiliation; summarizes the guest's previous turns; resolves misunderstanding caused by trouble sources; and allows the host to take back the conversational floor and close down the ongoing topic. This study also shows that the host signals his affiliation through the employment of reported speech and embodied action. The host recycles the story climax; jointly accomplishes storytelling by co-completing or assumingly enacting what the guest's story character must have thought, felt or said at the time of the narrated story; and builds common ground by sharing his personal experience. Through the analyses, this study demonstrates the multi-functional aspects of Korean reported speech. It also provides implications for the view of reported speech as a social action and conversational practice.

▼ Accent conversion intends to change the accent of a speaker to a desired accent and preserve the speaker’s voice identity. This technology can offer a number of useful applications. For example, integrating accent conversion to a text-to-speech system (TTS) can produce a voice with a desired accent instantly and inexpensively. Applying the technology to the film industry can change an actor’s or actress’s accent to a desired accent without hard training for the actor or actress to learn a new accent; this can be achieved by modifying the accent of the film recordings. As a foreign language learning tool, it could allow the learners to listen to their own voice with the native speaker’s accent and to mimic that accent. Hence, enhance learning experience and improve learning progress. In this dissertation, a new approach in both accent analysis and conversion has been proposed. In contrast to previous approaches in accent-related research, such as in regional or foreign accent classification and identification, where the databases are formed from large groups of single-accent speakers, this study uses data from an individual who can speak in two accents. This removes the effects of inter-speaker variability and facilitates efficient identification and analysis of acoustic features of different accents. Two British regional accents which display distinct differences to the human listener were used in this study as two typical British regional accents. Vowel based acoustic analysis was carried out to investigate the acoustic characteristics of the two accents and identify the prominent features that are most influential on the variability of accents. Acoustic characteristics such as formant frequencies, fundamental frequency and its variation slope, intensity of speech, and duration of phone were used for accent acoustic analysis. In this dissertation, accent conversion via formants modification and pitch contour manipulation was investigated. Three different formant-based spectral mappingalgorithms, mean-variance linear conversion, Nth order non-linear conversion and piece-wise linear transformation based on Gaussian mixture model conversion were investigated. Furthermore, the project has implemented accent conversion on a general speech analysis and synthesis system; the output speech synthesized by the three mapping algorithms was assessed by objective and subjective evaluation. The effects of spectral conversion and pitch contour conversion on accent conversion were also evaluated. The results of the study showed that accent conversion can be achieved to some degree via formants modification and pitch contour manipulation.

▼ Clinical depression is a common mood disorder that may last for long periods, vary in severity, and could impair an individual’s ability to cope with daily life. Depression affects 350 million people worldwide and is therefore considered a burden not only on a personal and social level, but also on an economic one. Depression is the fourth most significant cause of suffering and disability worldwide and it is predicted to be the leading cause in 2020. Although treatment of depression disorders has proven to be effective in most cases, misdiagnosing depressed patients is a common barrier. Not only because depression manifests itself in different ways, but also because clinical interviews and self-reported history are currently the only ways of diagnosis, which risks a range of subjective biases either from the patient report or the clinical judgment. While automatic affective state recognition has become an active research area in the past decade, methods for mood disorder detection, such as depression, are still in their infancy. Using the advancements of affective sensing techniques, the long-term goal is to develop an objective multimodal system that supports clinicians during the diagnosis and monitoring of clinical depression. This dissertation aims to investigate the most promising characteristics of depression that can be “heard” and “seen” by a computer system for the task of detecting depression objectively. Using audio-video recordings of a clinically validated Australian depression dataset, several experiments are conducted to characterise depression-related patterns from verbal and nonverbal cues. Of particular interest in this dissertation is the exploration of speech style, speech prosody, eye activity, and head pose modalities. Statistical analysis and automatic classification of extracted cues are investigated. In addition, multimodal fusion methods of these modalities are examined to increase the accuracy and confidence level of detecting depression. These investigations result in a proposed system that detects depression in a binary manner (e.g. depressed vs. non-depressed) using temporal depression behavioural cues. The proposed system: (1) uses audio-video recordings to investigate verbal and nonverbal modalities, (2) extracts functional features from verbal and nonverbal modalities over the entire subjects’ segments, (3) pre- and post-normalises the extracted features, (4) selects features using the T-test, (5) classifies depression in a binary manner (i.e. severely depressed vs. healthy controls), and finally (6) fuses the individual modalities. The proposed system was validated for scalability and usability using generalisation experiments. Close studies were made of American and German depression datasets individually, and then also in combination with the Australian one. Applying the proposed system to the three datasets showed remarkably high classification results - up to a 95% average recall for the individual sets and 86% for the three combined. Strong…

▼ Speech intelligibility measures how much a speaker can be understood by a listener. Traditional measures of intelligibility, such as word accuracy, are not sufficient to reveal the reasons of intelligibility degradation. This dissertation investigates the underlying sources of intelligibility degradations from both perspectives of the speaker and the listener. Segmental phoneme errors and suprasegmental lexical boundary errors are developed to reveal the perceptual strategies of the listener. A comprehensive set of automated acoustic measures are developed to quantify variations in the acoustic signal from three perceptual aspects, including articulation, prosody, and vocal quality. The developed measures have been validated on a dysarthric speech dataset with various severity degrees. Multiple regression analysis is employed to show the developed measures could predict perceptual ratings reliably. The relationship between the acoustic measures and the listening errors is investigated to show the interaction between speech production and perception. The hypothesize is that the segmental phoneme errors are mainly caused by the imprecise articulation, while the sprasegmental lexical boundary errors are due to the unreliable phonemic information as well as the abnormal rhythm and prosody patterns. To test the hypothesis, within-speaker variations are simulated in different speaking modes. Significant changes have been detected in both the acoustic signals and the listening errors. Results of the regression analysis support the hypothesis by showing that changes in the articulation-related acoustic features are important in predicting changes in listening phoneme errors, while changes in both of the articulation- and prosody-related features are important in predicting changes in lexical boundary errors. Moreover, significant correlation has been achieved in the cross-validation experiment, which indicates that it is possible to predict intelligibility variations from acoustic signal.

O presente trabalho analisa os sentidos atribuídos por professores de uma escola municipal de São Paulo acerca da inclusão escolar. Os dizeres desses professores foram analisados sob a égide da Análise de Discurso de tendência francesa. Discutimos no presente trabalho, o entrelaçamento entre fonoaudiologia e educação, a leis e conceitos sobre inclusão, traçamos um panorama a respeito da teoria da Análise de Discurso, para tornar possível a análise dos dados partindo desse embasamento teórico. Os dados foram colhidos em gravação de dois grupos discussão com os professores sobre a temática de inclusão escolar. Os vídeos foram transcritos e analisados tomando como metodologia a Análise de Discurso de Linha Francesa. Assim, possibilita-se compreender o discurso para a além do que está dito, e revelar marcas ideológicas dos discursos dos professores sobre inclusão escolar. Consideramos que os sentidos da inclusão escolar, atribuídos por professores, definem-se inicialmente por promover socialização; por entrelaçamento entre discursos, intervenção da analista e a análise do não-dito, notamos que os discursos atribuem também o sentido de proporcionar ensino/aprendizagem ao sujeito com deficiência. Conclui-se que é preciso uma (re)significação dos discursos sobre inclusão, outras marcas ideológicas; para isso, faz-se necessário que a escola seja abraçada sob a perspectiva de um trabalho colaborativo

This paper examines the meanings assigned by teachers in a public school in São Paulo about school inclusion. Everything these teachers had said was analyzed under the aegis of French Trend of Discourse Analysis. Discussed in this paper, the entanglement between speech therapist and education, laws and concepts of inclusion. An overview of the theory of discourse analysis was drawn to make possible the analysis of data leaving these theoretical bases. Data were collected by recording discussions of two discussion groups with teachers about school inclusion. The videos were transcribed and analyzed using as methodology the French Line of Discourse Analysis. Thus, it enables to understand speech in addition to what is said, and to reveal ideological marks of the teacher s discourses about school inclusion. We consider the meanings of school inclusion, assigned by teachers, is set up initially by promoting socialization, by intertwining between speeches, and analyst intervention and analysis of the unsaid. We noticed that the speeches attribute also the sense of providing teaching / learning to the subject with disabilities. We concluded that it needs a (re)signification of the discourse about inclusion, other ideological brands. And for that, it is necessary the school be embraced from the perspective of a collaborative work

▼

In interpreting the "Discourse about faith" (Heb. 11, 1-40) the combined rhetoric and text analytic approach was chosen, as more appropriate for the interpretation of the Epistle, because of the gravity it gives to the form of rhetoric speech that the text has, to the function of language, to the internal connection and relevance of the whole text, and to the historical-social context including the relationship of the author of the Epistle to its recipients. The "Discourse about Faith" (Heb. 11, 1-40) has a content intrinsically connected to its neighbouring verses that are of mixed exhorting and didactic character. This allows their integration together with the "Discourse about faith" in a broader soteriological demonstrative discourse, which we call "Discourse about the Power of Faith" (Heb. 10, 19-23; 32-39; 11, 1-40; 12, 1-3; 18-24). After the functional inclusion of the "Discourse about faith" (Heb. 11, 1-40) within the broader content of the Epistle and its historical context, the broader demonstrative "Discourse about the Power of Faith" is examined from the viewpoint of text criticism, as well as of syntactic, grammatical, lexical and rhetoric analysis. The rhetoric analysis includes the recording of the rhetoric units of the demonstrative discourse, of the rhetoric forms, and of the rhetoric topics, mainly of the material topics; it also records the semi-poetic rhythm of the text, on the basis of tonal steps followed in it, in order to clarify the style, with which the authors emphasize their ideas. The text analysis consists of an examination of the logical connection between the pieces of the broader demonstrative discourse on the basis of their relevance in sense, so that their meaning is specified on the basis of their existing semantic cooperation. It also requires consideration of logical connection and cooperation between the neighbouring pieces, not only on the basis of existing relevance of meaning, but additionally on the basis of the documented connection of meaning at the ends of one rhetoric unit (usually a passage or a subparagraph) with the meaning at the centre of an adjacent unit, previous or next, and vice versa. Additionally a recourse outside the boundaries of the broader demonstrative discourse is utilized, but within the limits of the Epistle and referring to its general theological assumptions. The commentary and the annotation of the Epistle by prominent Fathers of the Church and by contemporary commentators have been also taken into account in the interpretation, and adjustments have been made, where deemed necessary. Following this interpretation, answers are given to seven questions raised in the Introduction. These questions are related to the exploration of the concept of faith and of the mode of its presence, on the basis on the teaching of the Epistle.

▼ Emotion adds an important element to the discussion of how information is conveyed and processed by humans; indeed, it plays an important role in the contextual understanding of messages. This research is centered on investigating relevant features for affect classification, along with modeling the multimodal and multitemporal nature of emotion. The use of formant-based features for affect classification is explored. Since linear predictive coding (LPC) based formant estimators often encounter problems with modeling speech elements, such as nasalized phonemes and give inconsistent results for bandwidth estimation, a robust formant-tracking algorithm was introduced to better model the formant and spectral properties of speech. The algorithm utilizes Gaussian mixtures to estimate spectral parameters and refines the estimates using maximum a posteriori (MAP) adaptation. When the method was used for features extraction applied to emotion classification, the results indicate that an improved formant-tracking method will also provide improved emotion classification accuracy. Spectral features contain rich information about expressivity and emotion. However, most of the recent work in affective computing has not progressed beyond analyzing the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC’s) and their derivatives. A novel method for characterizing spectral peaks was introduced. The method uses a multi-resolution sinusoidal transform coding (MRSTC). Because of MRSTC’s high precision in representing spectral features, including preservation of high frequency content not present in the MFCC’s, additional resolving power was demonstrated. Facial expressions were analyzed using 53 motion capture (MoCap) markers. Statistical and regression measures of these markers were used for emotion classification along the voice features. Since different modalities use different sampling frequencies and analysis window lengths, a novel classifier fusion algorithm was introduced. This algorithm is intended to integrate classifiers trained at various analysis lengths, as well as those obtained from other modalities. Classification accuracy was statistically significantly improved using a multimodal-multitemporal approach with the introduced classifier fusion method. A practical application of the techniques for emotion classification was explored using social dyadic plays between a child and an adult. The Multimodal Dyadic Behavior (MMDB) dataset was used to automatically predict young children’s levels of engagement using linguistic and non-linguistic vocal cues along with visual cues, such as direction of a child’s gaze or a child’s gestures. Although this and similar research is limited by inconsistent subjective boundaries, and differing theoretical definitions of emotion, a significant step toward successful emotion classification has been demonstrated; key to the progress has been via novel voice and visual features and a newly developed multimodal-multitemporal approach.

La modélisation sinusoïdale est une des méthodes les plus largement utilisés paramétriques pour la parole et le traitement des signaux audio. Inspiré par le récemment introduit Modèle aQHM et Modèle aHM, nous la vue d’ensemble de la théorie de l’ adaptation sinusoïdale modélisation et nous proposons un modèle nommé la Modèle eaQHM, qui est un non modèle paramétrique de mesure d’ajuster les amplitudes et les phases instantanées de ses fonctions de base aux caractéristiques variant dans le temps de sous-jacents du signal de parole, ainsi atténuer significativement la dite hypothèse de stationnarité locale. Le eaQHM est montré à surperformer aQHM dans l’analyse et la resynthèse de la parole voisée. Sur la base de la eaQHM , un système hybride d’analyse / synthèse de la parole est présenté (eaQHNM), et aussi d’ une version hybride de l’ aHM (aHNM). En outre, nous présentons la motivation pour une représentation pleine bande de la parole en utilisant le eaQHM, c’est, représentant toutes les parties du discours comme haute résolution des sinusoıdes AM-FM. Les expériences montrent que l’adaptation et la quasi-harmonicité est suffisante pour fournir une qualité de transparence dans la parole non voisée resynthèse. La pleine bande analyse eaQHM et système de synthèse est présenté à côté, ce qui surpasse l’état de l’art des systèmes, hybride ou pleine bande, dans la reconstruction de la parole, offrant une qualité transparente confirmé par des évaluations objectives et subjectives. En ce qui concerne les applications, le eaQHM et l’ aHM sont appliquées sur les modifications de la parole (de temps et pas mise à l’échelle). Les modifications qui en résultent sont de haute qualité, et suivent des règles très simples, par rapport à d’autres systèmes de modification état de l’art. Les résultats montrent que harmonicité est préféré au quasi- harmonicité de modifications de la parole du fait de la simplicité de la représentation intégrée. En outre, la pleine bande eaQHM est appliquée sur le problème de la modélisation des signaux audio, et en particulier d’instrument de musique retentit. Le eaQHM est évaluée et comparée à des systèmes à la pointe de la technologie, et leur est montré surpasser en termes de qualité de resynthèse, représentant avec succès l’attaque , transitoire, et une partie stationnaire d’un son d’instruments de musique. Enfin, une autre application est suggéré, à savoir l’analyse et la classification des discours émouvant. Le eaQHM est appliqué sur l’analyse des discours émouvant, offrant à ses paramètres instantanés comme des caractéristiques qui peuvent être utilisés dans la reconnaissance et la quantification vectorielle à base classification du contenu émotionnel de la parole. Bien que les modèles sinusoidaux sont pas couramment utilisés dans ces tâches, les résultats sont prometteurs.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to deﬁne a perceptual scale for the ‘Time-Frequency’ analysis of music signals. The equal tempered ‘Bach ’ scale is a suitable scale, since it covers most of the genres of music and the error is equally distributed for each semi-tone. However, it may be necessary to allow a tolerance of around 50 cents or half the interval of the Bach scale, so that the interval can accommodate other common intonation schemes. The thesis covers the formulation of the Bach scale ﬁlter-bank as a time-varying model. It makes a comparative study with other commonly used perceptual scales. Two applications for the Bach scale ﬁlter-bank are also proposed, namely automated segmentation of speech signals and transcription of singing voice for query-by-humming applications. Even though this ﬁlter-bank is suggested with a motivation from music, it could also be applied to speech. A method for automatically segmenting continuous speech into phonetic units is proposed. The results, obtained from the proposed method, show around 82% accuracy for the English and 85% accuracy for the Hindi databases. This is an improvement of around 2 -3% when the performance is compared with other popular methods in the literature. Interestingly, the Bach scale ﬁlters perform better than the ﬁlters designed for other common perceptual scales, such as Mel and Bark scales. ‘Musical transcription’ refers to the process of converting a musical rendering or performance into a set of symbols or notations. A query in a ‘query-by-humming system’ can be made in several ways, some of which are singing with words, or with arbitrary syllables, or whistling. Two algorithms are suggested to annotate a query. The algorithms are designed to be fairly robust for these various forms of queries. The ﬁrst algorithm is a frequency selection based method. It works on the basis of selecting the most likely frequency components at any given time instant. The second algorithm works on the basis of ﬁnding time-connected contours of high energy in the ‘Time-Frequency’ plane of the input signal. The time domain algorithm works better in terms of instantaneous pitch estimates. It results in an error of around 10 -15%, while the frequency domain method results in an error of around 12 -20%. A song rendered by two diﬀerent people will have quite a few diﬀerent properties. Their absolute pitches, rates of rendering, timbres based on voice quality and inaccuracies, may be diﬀerent. The thesis discusses a method to quantify the distance between two diﬀerent renderings of musical pieces. The distance function has been evaluated by attempting a search for a particular song from a database of a size of 315, made up of songs sung by both male and female singers and whistled queries. Around 90 % of the time, the correct song is found among the top ﬁve best choices picked. Thus, the Bach scale has been proposed as a suitable scale for representing the perception of music. It has been explored in two applications, namely automated segmentation of speech and transcription… Advisors/Committee Members: Ramakrishnan, A G.

A presente pesquisa objetiva analisar o discurso do amor e identificar quais são as representações que o aluno tem do amor e do outro nas relações virtuais. Para atingir o objetivo, analisaram-se as dissertações escritas pelos alunos do ensino médio. Sob o ponto de vista teórico, fundamentou-se na Análise de Discurso de perspectiva francesa, concentrandose nas noções de sujeito e de discurso, categorizados pelos conceitos de memória discursiva e heterogeneidade constitutiva. Os resultados desta pesquisa revelaram duas formações discursivas: um grupo cuja representação é do amor da ordem da memória, apresentando um discurso heterogêneo constituído do amor como é cultivado pela família, do amor como considerado pela Igreja, do amor como estudado nas aulas de literatura e, como tal, da ordem do desejo; outro grupo cuja representação é o de um amor descompromissado, de descarte rápido e, como tal, da ordem pós-moderna do amor líquido. Conclui-se, enfim, que mesmo não se revelando iguais, dos sujeitos aqui classificados, ao escreverem, falando de si, alguns acabam se descobrindo, do que se conclui a importância da proposição da atividade da escrita, por seu exercício de promover conhecimento de si.

To achieve the goal, were looked up the dissertations written by middle school students. From the theoretical point of view, based on the Speech Analyze by French perspective, focusing on notions of subject and of speech, categorized by the concepts of discursive memory and constitutive heterogeneity.

Finally, it is concluded, that although does not reveal the same, of the subject here ranked, to write, speaking to you, some even discovering, that concludes the importance of proposing the writing activity, to your exercise to promote knowledge of you.

Têm sido muitas as formas como o homem ocidental encara a morte desde a idade média: evento natural da vida, destino certo do homem, castigo de Deus, glamour exclusivo dos jovens amantes, fracasso da medicina, descarte de mercadoria. Assim como na história do homem, a história do cinema também retratou as diferentes formas do homem encarar a morte. O objetivo do presente estudo foi identificar, no discurso fílmico, o que dizem os filmes sobre a morte, formas contemporâneas de encarar a morte. O método de pesquisa consistiu na análise dos filmes Mar Adentro (Alejandro Amenabar), O Quarto do Filho (Nanni Moretti) e O Sétimo Selo (Ingmar Bergman), sob dois aspectos: a análise dos elementos fílmicos fotografia, iluminação, câmera, figurino, cenário, maquiagem, roteiro, montagem, personagens; a análise do filme como narrativa, identificando a fábula, os temas e o discurso. As análises fílmicas revelaram um discurso intimista da morte. A morte foi retratada como experiência íntima e singular. De acordo com a literatura tanatológica, a morte como experiência subjetiva é uma das formas atuais de encarar a morte nas sociedades ocidentais. O fenômeno da intimização da morte também se apresenta no discurso fílmico de algumas obras cinematográficas, confirmando uma mentalidade histórico-cultural do homem
