3. 12. 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

4. 13. Computational Modeling of the Vocal Tract : Applications to Speech Production

   Författare :Saeed Dabbaghchian; Olov Engwall; Sidney Fels; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vocal tract; upper airway; speech production; biomechanical model; acoustic model; vocal tract reconstruction; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

   Sammanfattning : Human speech production is a complex process, involving neuromuscular control signals, the effects of articulators' biomechanical properties and acoustic wave propagation in a vocal tract tube of intricate shape. Modeling these phenomena may play an important role in advancing our understanding of the involved mechanisms, and may also have future medical applications, e. LÄS MER

5. 14. Applied Speech Enhancement for Personal Communication

   Författare :Nils Westerlund; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Speech Enhancement; Active Noise Control;

   Sammanfattning : In our daily life noise is almost constantly present. At the same time our need to communicate reliably has probably never been this great. Surrounding noise impairs our ability to communicate by speech and causes the users of a speech communication system to strain both their hearing and their voices. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to contribute with knowledge about how speech communities are formed and maintained in Swedish preschools when minority language children participate. The dissertation is based on two empirical studies that are linked together by an ethnographical communication model. LÄS MER
