onsetfocused
Onsetfocused is a term used in signal processing and computational linguistics to describe approaches that prioritize onset events—the initial portions of acoustic events such as phoneme starts or musical notes—in analysis and modeling. The concept centers on the idea that many linguistic and musical structures are anchored to onsets, so emphasizing these moments can improve segmentation, alignment, and robustness to noise.
The premise is that linguistic and musical structure often coincides with onset timing. By focusing on onsets,
Techniques commonly involve onset detection as a preprocessing step or as an integral component within models.
Applications span several domains. In speech processing, onsetfocused methods aid phoneme boundary detection, syllable timing estimation,
Limitations include difficulty handling overlapping events, ambiguity due to coarticulation, and sensitivity to noise. Computational overhead
