| Abstract(in English) | Supporting the development of a system for pronunciation learning, this paper reports an inspection of the trajectory of speech sentences in a feature space that is constructed from midsagittal tongue images and frame-wise speech sounds. One objective of this research is to estimate tongue shape and position from speech sounds, so we focus on determining how to construct and arrange from these feature spaces. Experimental results indicate similar trajectories for given streams of speech sounds between the two feature spaces of midsagittal tongue images and frame-wise speech sounds. Although the accuracy of phoneme recognition is poor from a feature space of midsagittal tongue images only, we also consider the possibility of extracting "exemplar tongue images" for a given sound by using a mixed feature space of tongue images and speech sounds. |
