Field of Specialization
Speech Information Processing
Outline Activities
The research area includes the process of speech production and perception, being the basis of the human communication. With regard to the speech production, it is essentially important to reveal the underlying mechanisms for producing the driving signal of the vocal tract, i.e., the voice source signal, and for controlling the articulatory organs in shaping the vocal tract and adjusting its resonance property. Toward this aim, I am investigating the observation system of articulatory movements, physical mechanism of voice production, and a speech synthesis model mimicing the human speech production. In the educational area, I am teaching articulatory and acoustic phonetics, speech signal processing, and speech information processing.

Research Interests
  • Human speech communication
    keyword : speech, communication, speech production, speech perception
    2000.04Speech is the most basic means of communication for human. Speech communication is realized by the ability of producing and perceiving speech sounds in real time. The purpose of my research is to understand these abilities of human. Toward this aim, I am developing a observation system of articulatory behavior and constructing mathematical model of speech production..

The area function was approximated by summing several mode functions to reduce the number of degrees of freedom among the area parameters. Furthermore, the tract length was represented as a function of the coefficients for two principal modes. The estimation was made based on the perturbation relationship, i.e., a sensitivity function was used to represent the change in formant frequency due to a small perturbation of the vocal-tract shape. Starting from initial values, the vocal-tract parameters were optimized iteratively, and the sensitivity functions were used as linear constraints to update the parameter values. The estimation accuracy was examined using area function data for 10 English vowels (Story and Titze, J.¥ Phon.,¥ {¥bf 26}, 223--260, 1998). The results showed that the method is capable of determining vocal-tract shape with a satisfactory degree of accuracy, though the estimation accuracy strongly depends on the type of vowel. The dependency of the estimation error on the initial values of the parameters was also investigated..

Educational Activities
As the educational activities, I am teaching articulatory and acoustic phonetics, speech signal processing, and speech information processing. In addition to these lectures, I am oranizing two topics in the experiments on acoustics: Fourier analysis of acoustic signal and synthesis of speech using an acoustic tube model of the vocal tract.
