Abstract:Abstract-We present a unified approach for speech production and recognition based on articulatory motor representations. The approach is inspired by the Motor theory and the discovery of Mirror neurons, and use motor representations for both reproduction and recognition of speech. A model of the vocal tract is used to create sound and the created sound is then mapped back to the motor representation using a neural network. To learn the map we mimic the behavior of a child that uses a combination of babbling a… Show more
“…The described architecture is an extension of the work in described in [23]. It includes a speech production module, a sensing unit, a sensorimotor coordination module and a memory unit, as shown in 1.…”

“…We then discuss the learning architecture and necessary resources that has to be implemented in a robot for it to be able to acquire early language structures through the described interactions. The architecture described is an extended version of the architecture presented in [23]. A similar architecture can also be found in [28], and some earlier work can be found in the DIVA model [19].…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
