A DIVA-based method for the phonation of the Chinese Diphthongs

Mainly used to simulate and describe the brain involved in speech production and speech comprehension relevant functional areas, the DIVA model simulates channel activity by a neural network model of adaptive words, syllables or phonemes, and it depends on the background of the language are 29 basic English phonemes. Since that the pronunciation of Chinese and English is very different, the basic phoneme of more than 70, while the process is completely different from the brain mechanism. If you want to “read” the Chinese brain thinking process, the need for specialized research on China's background to adapt to the DIVA model. This paper based on the DIVA model can simulate and describe the function of language generation and acquisition of relevant brain areas. By means of linear prediction and cepstrum Mel combination (LPMCC), the double vowel resonance peak frequency was extracted by fitting polynomial, and the DIVA 9 typical Chinese double vowels were simulated. The simulation results show that the model is very effective in distinguishing the vowels of Chinese vowels and the sounds of speech by adjusting the function of the resonance peaks and the corresponding parameters of the vocal organs of the vocal organs. This work provides a great theoretical and practical basis for the widespread use of intelligent robots in society.
