Feedback and imitation by a caregiver guides a virtual infant to learn native phonemes and the skill of speech inversion
2013
Speech Communication
Despite large-scale research, development of robust machines for imitation and inversion of human speech into articulatory movements has remained an unsolved problem. We propose a set of principles that can partially explain real infants' speech acquisition processes and the emergence of imitation skills and demonstrate a simulation where a learning virtual infant (LeVI) learns to invert and imitate a virtual caregiver's speech. Based on recent findings in infants' language acquisition, LeVI
