This paper reviews the current state of several formal models of speech motor control, with
particular focus on the low-level control of the speech articulators. Further development of …

The tongue is critical in the production of speech, yet its nature has made it difficult to
measure. Not only does its ability to attain complex shapes make it difficult to track, it is also …

Ultrasound imaging of the tongue is increasingly common in speech production research.
However, there has been little standardization regarding the quantification and statistical …

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 …

Upon perceiving sensory errors during movements, the human sensorimotor system
updates future movements to compensate for the errors, a phenomenon called sensorimotor …

Acoustic models of the vocal tract for articulatory speech synthesis often neglect a range of
acoustic effects that are known to exist in the human vocal tract. Here we extended a basic …

Certain consonant/vowel combinations (labial/central, coronal/front, velar/back) are more
frequent in babbling as well as, to a lesser extent, in adult language than chance would …

Modeling speech production and speech articulation is still an evolving research topic.
Some current core questions are: What is the underlying (neural) organization for controlling …

This paper presents a computational approach to derive interpretable movement primitives
from speech articulation data. It puts forth a convolutive Nonnegative Matrix Factorization …

Articulatory synthesis is based on modeling various physical phenomena of speech
production, including sound radiation from the mouth. With regard to sound radiation, the …
