Direct Speech Reconstruction from Articulatory Sensor Data by Machine Learning (2017)
Journal Article
Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Gomez, A. M., Green, P. D., Gilbert, J. M., Ell, S. R., …Holdsworth, E. (2017). Direct Speech Reconstruction from Articulatory Sensor Data by Machine Learning. IEEE/ACM transactions on audio, speech, and language processing, 25(12), 2362-2374. https://doi.org/10.1109/TASLP.2017.2757263

© 2014 IEEE. This paper describes a technique that generates speech acoustics from articulator movements. Our motivation is to help people who can no longer speak following laryngectomy, a procedure that is carried out tens of thousands of times per...

Nonlinear Modeling and Verification of a Heaving Point Absorber for Wave Energy Conversion (2017)
Journal Article
Guo, B., Patton, R., Jin, S., Gilbert, J., & Parsons, D. (2017). Nonlinear Modeling and Verification of a Heaving Point Absorber for Wave Energy Conversion. IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy, 9(1), 453-461. https://doi.org/10.1109/tste.2017.2741341

Although the heaving Point Absorber (PA) concept is well known in wave energy conversion research, few studies focus on appropriate modelling of non-linear fluid viscous and mechanical friction dynamics. Even though these concepts are known to have n... Read More about Nonlinear Modeling and Verification of a Heaving Point Absorber for Wave Energy Conversion.

Restoring speech following total removal of the larynx by a learned transformation from sensor data to acoustics (2017)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. M., Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Ell, S. R., Green, P., Moore, R. K., & Holdsworth, E. (2017). Restoring speech following total removal of the larynx by a learned transformation from sensor data to acoustics. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 141(3), EL307-EL313. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4978364

Total removal of the larynx may be required to treat laryngeal cancer: speech is lost. This article shows that it may be possible to restore speech by sensing movement of the remaining speech articulators and use machine learning algorithms to derive...

Voice restoration after laryngectomy based on magnetic sensing of articulator movement and statistical articulation-to-speech conversion (2017)
Journal Article
Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Gilbert, J. M., Bai, J., Ell, S. R., Green, P. D., & Moore, R. K. (2017). Voice restoration after laryngectomy based on magnetic sensing of articulator movement and statistical articulation-to-speech conversion. Communications in Computer and Information Science, 690, 295-316. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-54717-6_17

© Springer International Publishing AG 2017. In this work, we present a silent speech system that is able to generate audible speech from captured movement of speech articulators. Our goal is to help laryngectomy patients, i.e. patients who have lost...

Evaluation of a silent speech interface based on magnetic sensing and deep learning for a phonetically rich vocabulary (2017)
Journal Article
Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Green, P. D., Gilbert, J. M., Ell, S. R., Moore, R. K., & Holdsworth, E. (2017). Evaluation of a silent speech interface based on magnetic sensing and deep learning for a phonetically rich vocabulary. Proceedings of the Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association, INTERSPEECH, 2017-August, 3986-3990. https://doi.org/10.21437/Interspeech.2017-802

Copyright © 2017 ISCA. To help people who have lost their voice following total laryngectomy, we present a speech restoration system that produces audible speech from articulator movement. The speech articulators are monitored by sensing changes in m...

Restoring Speech Following Total Removal of the Larynx (2017)
Journal Article
Gonzalez, J. A., Cheah, L. A., Green, P. D., Gilbert, J. M., Ell, S. R., Moore, R. K., & Holdsworth, E. (2017). Restoring Speech Following Total Removal of the Larynx. Studies in health technology and informatics, 242, 314-321. https://doi.org/10.3233/978-1-61499-798-6-314

© 2017 The authors and IOS Press. All rights reserved. By speech articulator movement and training a transformation to audio we can restore the power of speech to someone who has lost their larynx. We sense changes in magnetic field caused by movemen... Read More about Restoring Speech Following Total Removal of the Larynx.
