accent-feat

Python 2.X based feature extraction code for accented speech or pathological speech from forced alignment and Goodness of Pronunciation (GOP), including following features

1. Minimum, mean, standard deviation and mean-normalizd standard deviation of GOP values of vowels, consonants and syllables
2. Mean, standard deviation and mean-normalizd standard deviation of durations of vowels, consonants and syllables
3. Mean, standard deviation of durations of silence (begining and closing silence removed)
4. Percentage of vowels, consonants, syllables and silences intervals.
5. Syllables per second
6. Raw and normalized pairwise varibility index (PVI) of durations of vowels, consonants and syllables

Forced alignment files (Praat format .textgrid) and GOP files need to be generated beforehand. Please refer to this repo: kaldi-dnn-ali-gop
