AVID: A speech database for machine learning studies on vocal intensity

Vocal intensity, which is quantified typically with the sound pressure level (SPL), is a key feature of speech. To measure SPL from speech recordings, a standard calibration tone (with a reference SPL of 94 dB or 114 dB) needs to be recorded together ...

Teaching Speech Acts [PDF]

, 2007
In this paper I argue that pragmatic ability must become part of what we teach in the classroom if we are to realize the goals of communicative competence for our students.

Deciphering the Photopolymerization‐Induced Nanostructures and Interface Formation for Submicrometer Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work reveals the UV‐curing‐induced monomer‐rich domain, oligomer‐rich domain, and entangled oligomer domain. The cured submicron films in stressed state induce interlayer nano‐wrinkle structures during the deposition of the second layer. Stress‐free cured films in relaxed state form non‐diffusive, diffusive and semi‐diffusive interlayer ...

Private Speech and Inner Speech in Typical and Atypical Development [PDF]

, 2010
Children often talk themselves through their activities: They produce private speech to regulate their thought and behaviour, which is internalised to form inner speech, or silent verbal thought.

Time-regularized linear prediction for noise-robust extraction of the spectral envelope of speech

, 2018
Feature extraction of speech signals is typically performed in short-time frames by assuming that the signal is stationary within each frame. For the extraction of the spectral envelope of speech, which conveys the formant frequencies produced by the ...

Chemical Strategies for Multistimuli Responsive Dynamic Covalent Materials in Regenerative Medicine

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Multistimuli responsive dynamic covalent materials integrate reversible chemistry with the complex chemical, mechanical, and biochemical cues of regenerative environments. This review highlights chemical strategies based on orthogonal dynamic bonds, multicomponent networks, and hierarchical architectures to regulate mechanics, degradation, and ...

Infants match auditory and visual speech in schematic point-light displays

, 2010
Infants’ sensitivity to visual prosodic motion in infant-directed speech was examined by testing whether 8-month-olds can match an audio-only sentence with its visual-only schematic point-light display.

Neuromorphic Electronics for Intelligence Everywhere: Emerging Devices, Flexible Platforms, and Scalable System Architectures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The perspective presents an integrated view of neuromorphic technologies, from device physics to real‐time applicability, while highlighting the necessity of full‐stack co‐optimization. By outlining practical hardware‐level strategies to exploit device behavior and mitigate non‐idealities, it shows pathways for building efficient, scalable, and ...

Full body aero-tactile integration in speech perception

, 2010
We follow up on our research demonstrating that aero-tactile information can enhance or interfere with accurate auditory perception, even among uninformed and untrained perceivers [1].
