Domain Adaptation For Formant Estimation Using Deep Learning
In this paper we present a domain adaptation technique for formant estimation using a deep network. We first train a deep learning network on a small read speech dataset. We then freeze the parameters of the trained network and use several different datasets to train an adaptation layer that makes the obtained network universal in the sense that it works well for a variety of speakers and speech domains with very different characteristics. We evaluated our adapted network on three datasets, each of which has different speaker characteristics and speech styles. The performance of our method compares favorably with alternative methods for formant estimation.

Formant Tracking Using Quasi-Closed Phase Forward-Backward Linear Prediction Analysis and Deep Neural Networks
Formant tracking is investigated in this study by using trackers based on dynamic programming (DP) and deep neural nets (DNNs). Using the DP approach, six formant estimation methods were first compared. The six methods i…
Time-Varying Quasi-Closed-Phase Analysis for Accurate Formant Tracking in Speech Signals
In this paper, we propose a new method for the accurate estimation and tracking of formants in speech signals using time-varying quasi-closed-phase (TVQCP) analysis. Conventional formant tracking methods typically adopt …
Refining a Deep Learning-based Formant Tracker using Linear Prediction Methods
In this study, formant tracking is investigated by refining the formants tracked by an existing data-driven tracker, DeepFormants, using the formants estimated in a model-driven manner by linear prediction (LP)-based met…
