Learning word order at birth: A NIRS study
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2017 In language, the relative order of words in sentences carries important grammatical functions. However, the developmental origins and the neural correlates of the ability to track word order are to date poorly understood.

Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract This study examines how European food companies can operationally leverage the value created by strategic alliances into commercially viable products. More importantly, it emphasizes that the effects of alliance portfolio diversity (APD) on radical innovation performance can be achieved not only directly, but also via moderating roles, that is,

Robust and fine-grained prosody control of end-to-end speech synthesis [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 We propose prosody embeddings for emotional and expressive speech synthesis networks. The proposed methods introduce temporal structures in the embedding networks, thus enabling fine-grained control of the speaking style of the synthesized speech. The temporal structures can be designed either on the speech side or the text side, leading to different ...

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.This study verified the effective implementation of robotic distal pancreatectomy as the standard approach in our strategic robotic surgical oncology program. Although an institutional learning curve was observed, the robotic surgery program successfully expanded the number of primary operating surgeons while maintaining stable short‐term outcomes ...

What makes a multimodal construction? Evidence for a prosodic mode in spoken English
Frontiers in CommunicationTraditionally, grammar deals with morphosyntax, and so does Construction Grammar. Prosody, in contrast, is deemed paralinguistic. Testifying to the “multimodal turn,” the past decade has witnessed a rise in interest in multimodal Construction Grammar, i ...

Fine-grained robust prosody transfer for single-speaker neural text-to-speech [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 We present a neural text-to-speech system for fine-grained prosody transfer from one speaker to another. Conventional approaches for end-to-end prosody transfer typically use either fixed-dimensional or variable-length prosody embedding via a secondary attention to encode the reference signal.

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.Abstract Mental ill‐health is a serious and growing problem among university students in Australia. Within this cohort, international students are particularly vulnerable. International students in Australia have fewer social rights than domestic students and are at elevated risk of social isolation, exploitation in employment, precarious housing ...

Energetics of Sulfur‐Carbon Interaction
ChemPhysChem, Volume 23, Issue 24, December 16, 2022., 2022 Immersion microcalorimetry is used to evaluate the sulfur‐carbon interaction. Irrespective of their porosity, the carbons lead to similar immersion enthalpies per unit area for liquid sulfur. This means they have similar surface‐liquid interactions and that liquid sulfur below the polymerization temperature, wets the whole surface accessible to ...

International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Research, 2016 To reduce the number of input features to a prosody generator in natural speech synthesis application, a hybrid of an evolutionary algorithm and a swarm intelligence-based algorithm is used for feature selection (FS) in this study.
