Latest Patents
One of Jau-Hung Chen's latest patents is titled "Automatic speech segmentation and verification using segment confidence measures." This invention discloses a system and method that utilizes a known text script and a recorded speech corpus corresponding to that script. A speech unit segmentor segments the recorded speech corpus into N test speech unit segments, referring to the phonetic information of the known text script. A segmental verifier is then applied to obtain a confidence measure of syllable segmentation, verifying the correctness of the cutting points of the test speech unit segments. Additionally, a phonetic verifier uses verification models to obtain a confidence measure of syllable verification, ensuring that the recorded speech corpus is accurately recorded. Finally, a speech unit inspector integrates both confidence measures to determine the acceptance of the test speech unit segment.
Another notable patent by Chen is "Pitch mark determination using a fundamental frequency based adaptable filter." This method involves acquiring a fundamental frequency and fundamental frequency passband signals through an adaptable filter. The process includes detecting the number of passing zero positions of the fundamental frequency passband signals and generating a candidate set of pitch marks from these positions. Ultimately, the best set of pitch marks is estimated from the candidate set.
