Abnormal Speech Motor Control in Individuals with 16p11.2 Deletions. [PDF]
Speech and motor deficits are highly prevalent (>70%) in individuals with the 600 kb BP4-BP5 16p11.2 deletion; however, the mechanisms that drive these deficits are unclear, limiting our ability to target interventions and advance treatment.

This study develops and validates a cross‐institutional support vector regression prediction system to predict patient‐specific organ doses from chest CT scans using radiomics features. The models, trained with data from multiple institutions, show high accuracy, with cross‐institutional models achieving better performance. This approach eliminates the

Formant Tracking Using Dilated Convolutional Networks Through Dense Connection with Gating Mechanism [PDF]
Formant tracking is one of the most fundamental problems in speech processing. Traditionally, formants are estimated using signal processing methods. Recent studies showed that generic convolutional architectures can outperform recurrent networks on temporal tasks such as speech synthesis and machine translation.

Analyzing the Correlation Between Toxic Comments and Code Quality
Software development has a significant human component that can affect quality and productivity. This study analyzes the effects of toxic emotions on code quality using the SentiQ tool, which extracts sentiments in commit messages and relates them to measures of code quality.

Intrinsic normalization and extrinsic denormalization of formant data of vowels [PDF]
Using a known speaker-intrinsic normalization procedure, formant data are scaled by the reciprocal of the geometric mean of the first three formant frequencies. This reduces the influence of the talker but results in a distorted vowel space. The proposed speaker-extrinsic procedure re-scales the normalized values by the mean formant values of vowels ...

Listen to yourself! Prioritization of self‐associated and own voice cues
Abstract Self‐cues such as one's own name or face attract attention, reflecting a bias for stimuli connected to self to be prioritized in cognition. Recent evidence suggests that even external voices can elicit this self‐prioritization effect; in a voice‐label matching task, external voices assigned to the Self‐identity label ‘you’ elicited faster ...

Free-Ranging Male Koalas Use Size-Related Variation in Formant Frequencies to Assess Rival Males
Although the use of formant frequencies in nonhuman animal vocal communication systems has received considerable recent interest, only a few studies have examined the importance of these acoustic cues to body size during intra-sexual competition between ...

Frequency Tracking: LMS and RLS Applied to Speech Formant Estimation (2000) [PDF]
Introduction Several speech processing algorithms assume the signal is stationary during short intervals (approximately 20 to 30 ms). This assumption is valid for several applications, but it is too restrictive in some contexts. This work investigates the application of adaptive signal processing to the problem of estimating the formant frequencies of ...
