Purpose The influence of technology on marketing communications is rising in both applications and value created. Artificial intelligence (AI) and, as a result, smart speakers are benefiting brands customers at many levels. In particular, AI opens up the possibility to establish human-like dialogs with advertise new engaging way. Therefore, purpose this paper understand why how consumers would ...

This study compares speaking rate in spontaneous speech between dysarthric and healthy speakers. Since dysarthria involves heterogeneous pathologies, two types of dysarthria (i.e. Parkinson’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) have been distinguished. We hypothesize that temporal organisation of speech may be different between healthy and dysarthric speakers, but also between both patho...

How does interaction affect categorization, and how might this vary between native and non-native speakers? When people use shared labels to categorize objects, they categorize more similarly to each other. We investigated whether interaction leads non-native speakers to categorize in the same way as native speakers. In six rounds, L1-English and L2-English/L1Mandarin speakers individually cate...

Adrian Rodriguez Master Thesis Abstract A steering aid system called active steering is evaluated by simulating different driving events. The active steering solution, which is taken from a scientific paper, has been implemented in Matlab/Simulink. A vehicle model, also implemented in Matlab/Simulink, is used to form a total system and to compare the two systems: a conventional vehicle and a co...

Globalization and increasing collaboration between remote teams drive the need for teleconference systems. However, currently no videoconferencing system matches the face-to-face experience for a business meeting with many participants in a flexible and affordable manner. In search for a better solution, we created a Virtual Meeting Room (VMR) application that visualizes key events detected usi...

The automobile suspension’s design incorporates three conflict criteria’s which are road handling, load carrying and passenger comfort. All these suspensions systems are generally require maintaining vehicle stability by reducing the effect of dynamic loads. The response of system is simulated by using the software “Symbol’s Shakti”. The bond graph model of the system with active and passive su...

Voice Activity Detection (VAD) in acoustic environments remains a challenging task due to potentially adverse noise and reverberation conditions. The problem becomes even more difficult when the microphones used to detect speech reside far from the speaker. An unsupervised VAD scheme is presented in this paper. The system is based on processing signals captured by multiple far-field sensors in ...
