Deep learning (DL) based semantic communication methods have been explored for the efficient transmission of images, text, and speech in recent years. In contrast to traditional wireless that focus on abstract symbols, approaches attempt achieve better efficiency by only sending semantic-related information source data. this paper, we consider semantic-oriented which transmits semantic-relevant...

It is well known that speech plays a key role in communication and it explains why humans also want to have speech as a means of communication/interaction with computers. Although human-like speech dialogue with computers is still far off, even with current state-of-the-art technology, the benefits and potential of speech processing are obvious. As will be seen in the next sections, this is esp...

Aphasia is an acquired communication disorder that affects speech and language functionalities at varying degrees. The recovery of lost communication functionalities is possible through frequent and intense speech therapy sessions. The aim of the VITHEA -Virtual Therapist for Aphasia Treatmentproject is to exploit speech and language technology (SLT) to facilitate the recovery process of Portug...

Face-to-face communication is a temporally extended, multisensory process. In human speech, the auditory component is, for the most part, the result of vocal fold movements that release sound energy. This sound energy travels up through the oral and nasal cavities, where it is radiated out of the lips and nostrils. Changes in the internal and external shape of these cavities lead to different s...
