Abstract:
A central issue in phonology and speech perception is the relationship between acoustic cues in the speech signal and the features they correspond to... Read more →

By building computer models of the speech system and running simulations with them, we are able to better understand how phonetic categories are learned and how listeners process speech sounds during word recognition. I use several types of models to study speech perception, including neural network and statistical models. Two of the specific problems I am working on are unsupervised learning and cue weighting...
