Claim One:
1. A method of generating one or more segment templates associated with a voiced sound pattern (VSP), the method comprising: at an auditory processing system configured to synthesize segment templates modeling a VSP as uttered by a particular speaker, the auditory processing system including one or more audio sensors: selecting two or more related segments associated with a respective segment position across a concurrent segmentation of a plurality of vocalization instances of a VSP, wherein each of the plurality of vocalization instances of the VSP has vocal characteristics of a particular speaker; synthesizing a respective segment template by determining a function of spectral features of the selected two or more related segments, wherein the function provides a stochastic characterization of how a particular portion of the VSP is vocalized by the particular speaker according to the vocal characteristics and the plurality of vocalization instances of the VSP; and outputting the one or more segment templates to non-transitory memory through an output device.
