Abstract

This paper presents a new application of the snap-drift algorithm [1]: feature discovery and clustering of speech waveforms from non-stammering and stammering speakers. The learning algorithm is an unsupervised version of snap-drift which employs the complementary concepts of fast, minimalist learning (snap) & slow drift (towards the input pattern) learning. The Snap-Drift Neural Network (SDNN) is toggled between snap and drift modes on successive epochs. The speech waveforms are drawn from a phonetically annotated corpus, which facilitates phonetic interpretation of the classes of patterns discovered by the SDNN. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
