Modeling consonant-vowel coarticulation for articulatory speech synthesis
P Birkholz - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
A central challenge for articulatory speech synthesis is the simulation of realistic articulatory
movements, which is critical for the generation of highly natural and intelligible speech. This …

Self-organization of early vocal development in infants and machines: the role of intrinsic motivation
We bridge the gap between two issues in infant development: vocal development and
intrinsic motivation. We propose and experimentally test the hypothesis that general …

Vocal development as a guide to modeling the evolution of language
DK Oller, U Griebel… - Topics in cognitive …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Modeling of evolution and development of language has principally utilized mature units of
spoken language, phonemes and words, as both targets and inputs. This approach cannot …

Children's development of self-regulation in speech production
Species-specific vocalizations fall into two broad categories: those that emerge during
maturation, independent of experience, and those that depend on early life interactions with …

Vocal imitation between mothers and infants
The aim of the present mixed cross-sectional and longitudinal study was to observe and
describe some aspects of vocal imitation in natural mother-infant interaction. Specifically …

Learning to produce syllabic speech sounds via reward-modulated neural plasticity
At around 7 months of age, human infants begin to reliably produce well-formed syllables
containing both consonants and vowels, a behavior called canonical babbling. Over …

Goal-directed exploration for learning vowels and syllables: a computational model of speech acquisition
A Philippsen - KI-Künstliche Intelligenz, 2021 - Springer
Infants learn to speak rapidly during their first years of life, gradually improving from simple
vowel-like sounds to larger consonant-vowel complexes. Learning to control their vocal tract …
