Phonetic convergence occurs both when individuals interact in conversation, and when listeners rapidly repeat words presented over headphones. Results from multiple studies examining phonetic convergence offer an array of often confusing and disparate findings. Reconciling such diverse findings is difficult without a clear rationale for engaging in one acoustic measure over another. The current...

In this paper, one presents a fuzzy color clustering algorithm that is based on a new measure of similarity. This new measure of color similarity is defined on a perceptual color system called hsl. Keywords— Color similarity, fuzzy color clustering, hsl perceptual color system.

Related words/concepts prime one another, but the notion of semantic relatedness is notoriously difficult to pin down and may be due to linguistic association (reflecting the likelihood of two words appearing in shared/similar contexts) and/or true semantic overlap (reflecting how similar two words are in conceptual representation). In the present work, we propose a novel measure of semantic re...

The existing rate control schemes in the literature evaluate their video quality performance in terms of traditional PSNR. Actually, this evaluation may not be good because this measurement is not the same as that judged by human. This work defines a perceptual quality measure based on the human vision system. The modified rate control includes the perceptual consideration. The results show tha...

This paper addresses the problem of designing nite impulse response lters which optimally approximate desired frequency responses in the sense that they minimize a perceptual audio spectral measure. This measure is based on a simpli ed auditory model similar to those used in the area of perceptual audio quality measurement. It is shown that this problem can be cast as a logarithmic Chebychev ap...
