Flexible and Interpretable Accent Distance Measurements
Determining the differences between two speakers' accents is a fundamental task in linguistics and speech technology research. The methodology used to measure these differences depends on the specific research area. A phonetics researcher may demonstrate accent variation by comparing vowel formants in paired recordings of individual words. These results will be interpretable, but the recordings will be time-consuming to collect and may not be representative of connected speech. Accented Text-to-Speech (TTS) research has pushed towards using accent embeddings derived from accent classification
