Paraphrasing of a scientific text is not always easy, if possible at all (6...

Abstract: In this paper, we introduce seminormed and semiconormed fuzzy integrals associated with confidence measures. These confidence measures have a field of sets as their domain, and a complete lattice as their codomain. In introducing these integrals, the analogy with the classical introduction of Legesgue integrals is explored and exploited. It is amongst other things shown that our integ...

Since Bolinger’s [1] discovery that pitch cues accentual prominence in English, a tension has arisen between two strategies: equating accent with pitch excursions and relying on perception for identifying accented words. This paper investigates the relation between prominence judgments from untrained listeners and accentual labels produced by trained transcribers. Naïve speakers of English, Spa...

We performed a cognitive experiment in order to obtain evidence that prosody is used for the segmentation of continuous speech for understanding in real time. We assume that the cognitive unit in Japanese speech is the accentual phrase (AP) which is represented by low and high pitch patterns according to the Japanese accent rule. Meaningless speech which consisted of two APs was used as the exp...

A diode works for battery charging, as shown in Figure 1 . When we use an RF source excitation, the wiring inductance L matters. Let us consider how affects turn-on and -off operation. The voltage xmlns:xlink="htt...
