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…
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…
Kanade: A Simple Disentangled Tokenizer for Spoken Language Modeling
Zhijie Huang, Stephen McIntosh, Daisuke Saito +1
A good language model starts with a good tokenizer. Tokenization is especially important for speech modeling, which must handle continuous signals that mix linguistic and non-lingu…
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…
Analytic Study of Text-Free Speech Synthesis for Raw Audio using a Self-Supervised Learning Model
Joonyong Park, Daisuke Saito, Nobuaki Minematsu
We examine the text-free speech representations of raw audio obtained from a self-supervised learning (SSL) model by analyzing the synthesized speech using the SSL representations…
