  3. 2. Found speech and humans in the loop : Ways to gain insight into large quantities of speech

    Författare :Per Fallgren; Jens Edlund; Fred Cummins; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Found data; found speech; human-in-the-loop; sound browsing; dimensionality reduction; visualization; crowdsourcing; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

    Sammanfattning : Found data - data used for something other than the purpose for which it was originally collected - holds great value in many regards. It typically reflects high ecological validity, a strong cultural worth, and there are significant quantities at hand. However, it is noisy, hard to search through, and its contents are often largely unknown. LÄS MER
