articulatorytoacoustic
Articulatorytoacoustic refers to the field that studies and implements the relationship between the configuration of the human vocal tract during speech production and the resulting acoustic signal. In practice, it involves models that take articulatory measurements—such as tongue and lip positions, jaw height, velum opening, and laryngeal activity—and generate the corresponding waveform or spectro-temporal representation.
Forward articulatorytoacoustic modeling is used in articulatory synthesis: constructing synthetic speech by controlling articulatory parameters. Inverse
Data and measurements: studies rely on synchronized audio with articulatory data obtained through imaging and tracking
Modeling approaches: analytical vocal-tract models (for example, the Maeda model) parameterize vocal-tract geometry; data-driven approaches use
Applications and challenges: applications include high-quality articulatory synthesis, silent speech interfaces, robust automatic speech recognition with
