This paper presents OTTO, a transcription tool designed for diplomatic transcription of historical language data. The tool supports easy and fast typing and instant rendering of transcription in order to gain a look as close to the original manuscript as possible. In addition, the tool provides support for the management of transcription projects which involve distributed, collaborative working...

The Language Environment Analysis system LENATM is used to capture day-long recordings of children’s natural audio environment. The system performs automated segmentation of the recordings and provides estimates for various measures. One of those measures is Adult Word Count (AWC), an approximation of the number of words spoken by adults in close proximity to the child. The LENA system was deve...

A dinoflagellate identified as Prorocentrum dentatum, P. shikokuense or donghaiense is responsible of massive harmful events. Blooms a species have been recently reported in the Mediterranean Sea, and an exotic origin, tentatively introduced by ballast waters from Asia, has hypothesized. The molecular data based on small-, large subunit, internal transcriber spacers ribosomal RNA gene (SSU-, LS...

We present a framework to detect the regions of singing voice in musical audio signals. This work is oriented towards the development of a robust transcriber of lyrics for karaoke applications. The technique leverages on a combination of low-level audio features and higher level musical knowledge of rhythm and tonality. Musical knowledge of the key is used to create a song-specific filterbank t...

In this paper, we propose a fast and accurate method of a musical signal. It consists of extracting the musical information from the temporal evolution of the generated signal by the instrument. Each note (primary) will mainly be represented by a finite set of basic attributes (pitch, partial, energy, duration,). To do so, we begin by extracting each note by selecting the beginning of its appea...

This paper addresses the manual and automatic labeling, from spontaneous speech, of a particular type of user affect that we call the cognitive state in a tutorial dialogue system with students of primary and early middle school ages. Our definition of the cognitive state is based on analysis of children's spontaneous speech, which is acquired during Wizard-of-Oz simulations of an intelligent m...

This paper describes recent efforts at Linguistic Data Consortium at the University of Pennsylvania to create manual transcripts as a shared resource for human language technology research and evaluation. Speech recognition and related technologies in particular call for substantial volumes of transcribed speech for use in system development, and for human gold standard references for evaluatin...

Abstract Focusing on the concept of ‘folklore text,’ study surveys textological dilemmas that a researcher faces during collection, transcription, publication, and interpretation folk poetry. Behind development implementation strategies for text editing procedures lie complex cultural processes, which can be interpreted within framework given discipline or placed broader technological historica...

The aim of the study was to identify, synthesize and classify software currently available that can help in task phonetic transcription spontaneous speech pre-school children evaluate development children's language.
