Subject: Re: sinfa using matlab From: Jont Allen <jontalle@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 27 Mar 2016 07:46:44 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------040201080506040203060103 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear All, My comment is not about HOW to get SINFA working, but WHY you would want=20 to get it working. Since 1973 we have learned a great deal about phone identification by=20 normal and hearing impaired listeners. Bob Bilger was a good friend, and=20 his work represented an important stepping stone along the path toward building realistic and=20 correct understanding of human speech processing. But today, in my view,=20 SINFA is not a viable way to analyze human speech errors. One of the problems with the 1973=20 analysis was due to the limitations of computers in 1973. All the=20 responses were averaged over the two main effects, tokens and SNR. This renders the results=20 uninterperateable. Please share with us your thoughts on what the best methods are today,=20 given what we now know. And I would be happy to do the same. My view: I would suggest you look at the alternatives, such as confusion=20 patterns, which is a row of a confusion matrix, as a function of SNR,=20 and most importantly, go down to the token level. It is time to give up on distinctive features. They are=20 a production concept, great at classifying different types of speech=20 productions, but they do not properly get at what human listeners do, especially those with=20 hearing loss, when reporting individual consonants. Bilger and Wang make=20 these points in their HSHR article. They emphasize individual differences of HI listeners (p 737), and the=20 secondary role of distinctive features (p. 724) and of hearing level (p=20 737). I do not think that multidimentional scaling can give the answers=20 to these questions, as it only works for a limited number of dimensions=20 (2 or 3). Actual confusion data, as a function of SNR, are too complex=20 for a 2-3 dimension analysis. Here are some pointers I suggest you consider, that describe how humans=20 decode CV sounds as a function of the SNR. The Singh analysis explains why and how the articulation index (AI) works. The Trevino article shows the very large differences in consonant=20 perception in impaired ears. Hearing loss leads to large individual=20 differences, that are uncorrelated to hearing thresholds. The Toscano article is a good place to start. # Toscano, Joseph and Allen, Jont B (2014) /Across and within consonant=20 errors for isolated syllables in noise,/ Journal of Speech, Language,=20 and Hearing Research, Vol 57, pp 2293-2307;=20 doi:10.1044/2014_JSLHR-H-13-0244, (JSLHR=20 <http://jslhr.pubs.asha.org/Article.aspx?articleid=3D1894924>,pdf=20 <http://173.161.115.245/Public/ToscanoAllenJSLHR.14.pdf>, AuthorCopy=20 <http://173.161.115.245/Public/Toscano-Allen-JSLHR-2014.pdf>) # Trevino, Andrea C and Allen, Jont B (2012).

Each token has a threshold we call SNR_90,=20 defined as the SNR where the errors go form zero to 10%. Most speech=20 sounds are below the Shannon channel capacity limit, below which there=20 are zero errors, until the SNR is at the token error threshold. Distinctive features are not a good description of phone perception. The=20 real speech cues are relieved in these papers, and each token has an=20 SNR_90.
