ABSTRACT
The last few decades have witnessed tremendous
progress inthe performance, reliability,andwide-spread
use of speech-processing devices. Using mathematical
modelsof humanspeech production and perception has
been an important factor in the improved performance
of these devices. In this tutorial paper, we review
recent advances in speech production and perception
modeling and summarize the challenges that lie ahead
in developing fully parametric models.
