Recent published reports indicate that there are 2.5 million people with speech and hearing disorders in Taiwan. As aging of population and getting more attention of early intervention in our community increases, the population with various degrees of speech and hearing disorders also increases. Since people with speech disorders often suffer from congenital or acquired speech impairment that is involved with damage in speech articulators or brain, the diversity of cause results in expressive difficulties, stuttering, or even no speech competence. The main purpose of this talk is to present what is speech science and its application, then to introduce various speech models, and finally our studies to simulate Mandarin vowel perception and production with a neural network model (Directions Into Velocities Articulator, DIVA) that can show articulatory movements of speech organs, analyze speech sounds, and display the simulated brain activity regions.

Bio
Dr. Chao-Min Wu is an Associate Professor at the National Central University, Chung-Li, as a biomedical engineer researcher with a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University. His research integrates the fields of bioinstrumentation, phonetics, and neural network model to investigate speech and hearing impairment. His research centers on the study of physiological speech production modeling, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and auditory assistive devices simulation and implementation. In his NCUEE Speech and Hearing and System Modeling Lab., with his students he leads efforts to develop techniques that help us better understand the mechanism of speech and hearing and its application to AAC and auditory assistive devices, including recent development of advanced strategies for processing sound in cochlear implants using neural networks.
