Dynamic speech models theory, algorithms, and applications /
Speech dynamics refer to the temporal characteristics in all stages of the human speech communication process. This speech starts with the formation of a linguistic message in a speaker's brain and ends with the arrival of the message in a listener's brain. Given the intricacy of the dynam...
