Self-supervised Speech Comparison for L2 Phone, Rhythm, and Intonation Scoring
Stephen McIntosh, Reuben Smit, Daisuke Saito +2
The paper explores using dynamic time warping on self‑supervised WavLM speech representations to automatically score phonetic accuracy, rhythm, and intonation of L2 English and Jap…
Phone Segmentation and Recognition through Phonological Activation Mapping
Shikhar Bharadwaj, Kwanghee Choi, Stephen McIntosh +8
Phone segmentation and recognition are inherently related tasks, yet modern approaches typically model them separately. We argue that phonetic structure is already latent in the re…
Speech Playground: An Interactive Tool for Speech Analysis and Comparison
Stephen McIntosh, Daisuke Saito, Nobuaki Minematsu
This paper presents Speech Playground, an interactive speech visualization and comparison tool. While existing tools such as Praat are excellent, it can be cumbersome to integrate…
Prosodic ABX: A Language-Agnostic Method for Measuring Prosodic Contrast in Speech Representations
Haitong Sun, Stephen McIntosh, Kwanghee Choi +3
Speech representations from self-supervised speech models (S3Ms) are known to be sensitive to phonemic contrasts, but their sensitivity to prosodic contrasts has not been directly…
