Parallels in Processing Boundary Cues in Speech and Action
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Speech and action sequences are continuous streams of information that can be segmented into sub-units. In both domains, this segmentation can be facilitated by perceptual cues contained within the information stream.

Utility-based evaluation metrics for models of language acquisition: A look at speech segmentation
CMCL@NAACL-HLT, 2015 Models of language acquisition are typically evaluated against a “gold standard” meant to represent adult linguistic knowledge, such as orthographic words for the task of speech segmentation.

Segmentation of coarticulated speech in perception [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1984 The research investigates how listeners segment the acoustic speech signal into phonetic segments and explores implications that the segmentation strategy may have for their perception of the (apparently) context-sensitive allophones of a phoneme. Two manners of segmentation are contrasted. In one, listeners segment the signal into temporally discrete,

Exploratory Analysis of ELP1 Expression in Whole Blood From Patients With Familial Dysautonomia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a hereditary neurodevelopmental disorder caused by aberrant splicing of the ELP1 gene, leading to a tissue‐specific reduction in ELP1 protein expression. Preclinical models indicate that increasing ELP1 levels can mitigate disease manifestations.

Online Speech/Music Segmentation Based on the Variance Mean of Filter Bank Energy
EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2009 This paper presents a novel feature for online speech/music segmentation based on the variance mean of filter bank energy (VMFBE). The idea that encouraged the feature's construction is energy variation in a narrow frequency sub-band.

Foreign Languages Sound Fast: Evidence from Implicit Rate Normalization
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Anecdotal evidence suggests that unfamiliar languages sound faster than one’s native language. Empirical evidence for this impression has, so far, come from explicit rate judgments.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare disorder characterized by fluctuating muscle weakness with potential life‐threatening crises. Timely interventions may be delayed by limited access to care and fragmented documentation. Our objective was to develop predictive algorithms for MG deterioration using multimodal telemedicine data ...

The effect of metacognitive strategy instruction on L2 learner beliefs and listening skills [PDF]
, 2016 This pilot study investigated the effect of semester-long strategy-based instruction on learner beliefs and skills in the processing of aural input by adult learners of English as a second language at metacognitive and procedural levels.

Acoustic Measures Capture Speech Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorders with a common feature of dysarthria, involving impaired phonatory and articulatory control of speech, thereby affecting social communication. In this study, we investigated whether acoustic measures could objectively measure speech dysfunction and identify

Predictive brain signals of linguistic development
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 The ability to extract word forms from continuous speech is a prerequisite for constructing a vocabulary and emerges in the first year of life. Electrophysiological (ERP) studies of speech segmentation by nine- to 12-month-old listeners in several ...
