“…Providing a structure for accomplishing specific research goals is exceedingly important, but the means by which the objectives are fulfilled are often best left to the imagination and creative devices of individual scientists (cf. [3] and [4]). In today's speech-technology environment such "structured freedom" is rare indeed, thus reducing the probability of truly innovative research coming to the fore(front).…”

Speech-technology research lies at an historic juncture. Commercialization of the technology is likely to accelerate dramatically over the coming decade, but its scientific foundation remains uncertain. A critical shortage of qualified speech scientists and engineers looms in the absence of well-funded, challenging programs for training speech technologists and timely intervention by universities, government agencies and speech-technology companies. The speech-technology industry should collaborate closely with academic and government partners to insure an orderly expansion of academic training and research facilities required to accommodate the inevitable surge in demand for spoken-language technology. In the absence of significant academic-industry-government collaboration the pace of scientific innovation in speech research is likely to slow dramatically.

“…In particular, it is shown that accent affects the onset, nucleus and coda elements of the syllable differentially. Such information could be of utility in modeling pronunciation variation for automatic speech recognition [5] [6] and text-to-speech applications.…”

The relation between stress accent and pronunciation variation in spontaneous american English discourse

There is a systematic relationship between stress accent and pronunciation variation in spontaneous American English discourse. Although all constituents of the syllable are affected by accent, its impact is particularly manifest in the nucleus and coda. For example, height of the vocalic nucleus is closely associated with accent weight, and deletion of coda and onset segments is far more common in unaccented syllables. Such patterns imply that stress accent and syllabic articulation are inextricably bound together, and this knowledge could be used to improve pronunciation models for speech applications.
