Abstract

Temporal variability is a core obstacle to modelng exemplar-based production from real speech. Different tokens of a given word or utterance may vary widely in duration; a distance function over speech exemplars must account for this variability. We present an exemplar production mechanism that uses a distance measure. robust to temporal variation in order to meaningfully average over such tokens. We show qualitatively and quantitatively that the outputs produced are meaningful and retain sufficient phonetic detail to be identifiable.
