A. INTRODUCTION Voice over IP networks differ from conventional telephone networks in that voice quality is affected by a wider variety of network impairments and can vary from call to call and even during a call. It is therefore desirable to monitor call quality in order that service providers can properly provision networks and that network resources are properly allocated. Passive monitoring...

Previous work in HCI has shown that ambiguity, normally avoided in interaction design, can contribute to a user’s engagement by increasing interest and uncertainty. In this work, we create and evaluate synthetic utterances where there is a conflict between text content, and the emotion in the voice. We show that: 1) text content measurably alters the negative/positive perception of a spoken utt...

In machine translation, we must consider the difference in expression between languages. For example, the active/passive voice may change in Japanese-English translation. The same verb in Japanese may be translated into different voices at each translation because the voice of a generated sentence cannot be determined using only the information of the Japanese sentence. Machine translation syst...

Abstract One essential feature of voice alternation is that active and passive clauses centred around a given verb express the same meaning: “meaning-preserving” hypothesis. effect different linking grammatical relations semantic roles, which affects identity subject. This paper investigates meaning-preserving hypothesis in Indonesian from quantitative usage-based perspective by combining corpu...

introduction: bnign laryngeal lesions are relatively commonly occurring problems which are often noted after changes in voice. since they are non-invasive and yield objective easy-to-collect data, acoustic laboratory methods are used along with perceptual assessments for evaluation of voice. studying acoustic characteristics is useful in diagnosis and treatment of voice disorders.  with regard ...

The purpose of this research is how to digitize palompong musical instruments using passive transducers (passive pick-up) on each blade. This study uses the practice-based method in understanding and deepening problem findings. results show that: Traditional can be implemented digitally. Through digitization Palompong's authentic voice with exploration effects has produced an acousmatic sound f...
