Fundamental frequency contours for speech, as obtained by common pitch tracking algorithms, contain a great deal of fine detail that is unlikely to hold much perceptual significa...
Recently, a novel and structural representation of speech was proposed [1, 2], where the inevitable acoustic variations caused by nonlinguistic factors are effectively removed fro...
