Human-computer interactions benefit greatly from emotion recognition speech. To promote a contact-free environment in this coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID’19) pandemic situation, most digitally based systems used speech-based devices. Consequently, detection speech has many beneficial applications for pathology. The vast majority of (SER) are designed on machine learning or deep models. Therefo...

In this paper we present a non-parametric approach to solving the helium speech problem. Properties of helium speech are replaced by those pertaining to normal speech by means of codebook mapping of spectral envelopes. This method eliminates the drawbacks inherent in the previous procedures of helium speech unscrambling as it requires neither model of helium speech production nor estimation of ...

this paper introduces a novel approach to improve performance of speech recognition systems using a combination of features obtained from speech reconstructed phase space (rps) and frequency domain analysis. by choosing an appropriate value for the dimension, reconstructed phase space is assured to be topologically equivalent to the dynamics of the speech production system, and could therefore ...

This paper describes a free/open-source implementation of the light sliding-window (LSW) part-of-speech tagger for the Apertium free/open-source machine translation platform. Firstly, the mechanism and training process of the tagger are reviewed, and a new method for incorporating linguistic rules is proposed. Secondly, experiments are conducted to compare the performances of the tagger under d...

The American flag is a frequently displayed national symbol in the United States. Given its high visibility and importance, the present research examines the consequences of exposure to the flag on Americans’ sense of national attachment. We hypothesized that the flag would increase patriotism, defined as love and commitment to one’s country, and nationalism, defined as a sense of superiority o...

Traditional teleconferencing uses a select-and-mix function at a centralized conferencing bridge. In VoIP environments, this mixing operation can lead to speech degradation when using high compression speech codecs due to tandem encodings and coding of multi-talker signals. A tandem-free architecture can eliminate tandem encodings and preserve speech quality. VoIP conference bridges must also c...
