“…Previous work has used automatic measurements for speech recognition tasks Ramesh, 1998, 2003;Ali, 1999;Stouten and van Hamme, 2009), phonetic measurement (Fowler et al, 2008;Tauberer, 2010), and accented speech detection (Kazemzadeh et al, 2006;Hansen et al, 2010). Some studies, like ours, focus largely on the problem of VOT measurement itself, and evaluate the proposed algorithm by comparing automatic and manual measurements (Stouten and van Hamme, 2009;Yao, 2009;Hansen et al, 2010;Lin and Wang, 2011). Our approach differs from all previous studies except one (Lin and Wang, 2011) in an important aspect.…”
