Optical waveguide analysis using transmission lines [PDF]
Optical fibres have been used as a key medium for telecommunication and networking for more than two decades because in principle they offer sufficient transmission capacity, reaching total rates as high as Tbits/s per fibre.

Prosodic Prominence and Boundaries in Sequence-to-Sequence Speech Synthesis [PDF]
Recent advances in deep learning methods have elevated synthetic speech quality to human level, and the field is now moving towards addressing prosodic variation in synthetic speech.Despite successes in this effort, the state-of-the-art systems fall ...

Avoiding distortions due to speech coding and transmission errors [PDF]
We have extended our previous research on a new approach to automatic speech recognition (ASR) in the GSM environment. Instead of recognizing from the decoded speech signal, our system works from the digital speech representation used by the GSM encoder.

Effects of acaoustic adaptation of classrooms on the quality of verbal communication
Background: Voice organ disorders among teachers are caused by excessive voice strain. One of the measures to reduce this strain is to decrease background noise when teaching.

Acoustical Evaluation and Comparison Between Two Classroom Types in Erbil
In order to acquire an effective learning process in lecture halls with good speech intelligibility, good acoustical performance is essential. Inappropriate acoustic quality in classrooms reduces learning quality experience and can induce emotional ...

On the disagreement between speech transmission index (STI) and speech intelligibility
The change tendency of speech transmission index (STI) was examined by calculation for several modeled sound fields. As a result, it has been revealed that STI contradicts the generally accepted concept of the importance of early energy for speech intelligibility.
