Silent speech papers by publication data.

Silent speech interfaces (SSI) let people communicate without vocalizing, using sensors on the face, throat, or mouth instead of a microphone to recognize intended speech.

サイレントスピーチ(無声発話)インタフェースは、発声せずに口・喉・顔の動きをセンサーで読み取り、 意図した発話を認識する技術です。

Duration-aware pause insertion using pre-trained language model for multi-speaker text-to-speech

Dong Yang, Tomoki Koriyama, Yuki Saito, Takaaki Saeki, Detai Xin, Hiroshi Saruwatari

The paper presents a strong multi-speaker TTS phrasing approach leveraging speaker-conditioned BERT embeddings and pause duration categories to improve pause insertion precision and synthetic speech rhythm; however, it is out-of-scope for SSI as it focuses on audible speech synthesis only.

Lip2AudSpec: Speech reconstruction from silent lip movements video

Hassan Akbari, Himani Arora, Liangliang Cao, Nima Mesgarani

The paper's auditory spectrogram autoencoder bottleneck target is a key innovation that produces more intelligible, natural reconstructed speech from lip videos than prior methods, as confirmed by objective and human evaluations.

FAQ

Answers grounded in the site's data policy and review methodology.

Silent speechとは何ですか?

Silent speech interface (SSI) は、発声せずに口・喉・顔などの動きをセンサーで読み取り、意図した発話をテキストや音声に変換する技術です。マイクを使わないため、周囲に声を出せない場面や発話が難しい場面でも使えます。

このデータベースの論文はどう選ばれていますか?

リポジトリのarXiv/引用データを基に収集し、対応する論文をNaoki Kimuraが実際に読んで評価しています。評価が済んだものは「reviewed」、まだ評価本文が無いものは「imported corpus」として区別しています。

「reviewed」と「imported corpus」ページの違いは何ですか?

reviewed pageはNaoki Kimuraによる評価本文(強み・弱み・エビデンス付き)を含みます。imported corpus pageは書誌情報とベンチマーク値のみを保持し、評価本文はまだ付いていません。

citation countはどこから来ていますか?

OpenAlexから取得しています。取得できていない論文は「unknown citations」と表示しています。

レビューは誰が書いていますか?

Naoki Kimura本人による専門家評価です。レビューの見方は /papers/rubric にまとめています。

データポリシーは何ですか?

実データのみを使用し、捏造した指標・主張・受賞歴・リンクは掲載しません。詳細は /papers/cite に記載しています。

JSON形式でデータを取得できますか?

できます。/exports/ssi-review.json(スナップショット)と /feeds/ssi-review.json(フィード)で機械可読形式を提供しています。

このデータベースを引用する際の書式は?

/papers/cite に、データベース名・メンテナー・推奨citation文字列を掲載しています。
