Research
interests
I work on
acoustic-to-articulatory inversion of speech signals and speech analysis. I am
especially interested in the analysis-by-synthesis approach because I am
convinced that it also enables the speech production process to be better
understood. Together with Slim Ouni and Blaise Potard we proposed inversion algorithms guaranteeing a very good
closeness with original acoustic data together with realistic articulatory
gestures.
Since articulatory models play a central role in this
approach I developed software (Xarticul) to process old X-ray images and build models, which
approximate the vocal tract for vowels and consonants better than existing
models.
I am also interested in speech analysis and I am the main author of the WinSnoori
software http://www.winsnoori.fr which offers a variety of speech analysis algorithms
(pitch detection, automatic formant tracking, copy
synthesis for a parallel formant synthesizer). Tools derived from WinSnoori are now used in foreign language learning.
I am especially
interested in supervising PhD students or postdocs in the areas of articulatory
processing of speech.
