This paper introduces a novel combination of two tasks, previously treated separately: acoustic-to-articulatory speech inversion (AAI) and phoneme-to-articulatory (PTA) motion estimation. We refer to this joint task as acoustic…
We estimate articulatory movements in speech production from different modalities - acoustics and phonemes. Acoustic-to articulatory inversion (AAI) is a sequence-to-sequence task. On the other hand, phoneme to articulatory (PTA) motion…
To build speech processing methods that can handle speech as naturally as humans, researchers have explored multiple ways of building an invertible mapping from speech to an interpretable space. The articulatory space is a promising…
Acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) is to obtain the movement of articulators from speech signals. Until now, achieving a speaker-independent AAI remains a challenge given the limited data. Besides, most current works only use audio…
This review is focused on the data-driven approaches applied in different applications of Acoustic-to-Articulatory Inversion (AAI) of speech. This review paper considered the relevant works published in the last ten years (2011-2021). The…
We present a novel speaker-independent acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) model, overcoming the limitations observed in conventional AAI models that rely on acoustic features derived from restricted datasets. To address these…
Recent advances in machine learning and the availability of articulatory datasets allow vocal tract synthesis to be conditioned on phonetic sequences, a primary task of articulatory speech synthesis. However, quality assessment needs a…
Prior coarticulation studies focus mainly on limited phonemic sequences and specific articulators, providing only approximate descriptions of the temporal extent and magnitude of coarticulation. This paper is an initial attempt to…

Speech sounds are produced as the coordinated movement of the speaking organs. There are several available methods to model the relation of articulatory movements and the resulting speech signal. The reverse problem is often called as…
In the articulatory synthesis task, speech is synthesized from input features containing information about the physical behavior of the human vocal tract. This task provides a promising direction for speech synthesis research, as the…
Acoustic to articulatory inversion has often been limited to a small part of the vocal tract because the data are generally EMA (ElectroMagnetic Articulography) data requiring sensors to be glued to easily accessible articulators. The…
In this paper, we study articulatory synthesis, a speech synthesis method using human vocal tract information that offers a way to develop efficient, generalizable and interpretable synthesizers. While recent advances have enabled…
Acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) aims to estimate the parameters of articulators from speech audio. There are two common challenges in AAI, which are the limited data and the unsatisfactory performance in speaker independent…
Articulatory acoustic inversion aims to reconstruct the complete geometry of the vocal tract from the speech signal. In this paper, we present a comparative study of several levels of phonetic segmentation accuracy, together with a…
Acoustic-to-Articulatory Inversion (AAI) attempts to model the inverse mapping from speech to articulation. Exact articulatory prediction from speech alone may be impossible, as speakers can choose different forms of articulation seemingly…
Unlike phoneme sequences, movements of speech articulators (lips, tongue, jaw, velum) and the resultant acoustic signal are known to encode not only the linguistic message but also carry para-linguistic information. While several works…
Speech production is a complex sequential process which involve the coordination of various articulatory features. Among them tongue being a highly versatile active articulator responsible for shaping airflow to produce targeted speech…
We propose a first step toward multilingual end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) by integrating knowledge about speech articulators. The key idea is to leverage a rich set of fundamental units that can be defined "universally"…
Articulatory representation learning is the fundamental research in modeling neural speech production system. Our previous work has established a deep paradigm to decompose the articulatory kinematics data into gestures, which explicitly…
