Recently there has been a considerable focus on information retrieval for multimedia databases. When speech is used as the source material for multimedia indexing, the effect of transcriber error on retrieval effectiveness must be considered. This paper describes a method for measuring the relevance of documents to queries when information about the probability of word transcription error is av...

Transcripts are used successfully in many areas of contemporary society. However, some uses transcripts show systemic problems, with significant negative consequences. The key to finding effective solutions these is determine which factors contribute most strongly the problems – may be different from those they commonly ascribed. This systematic review offers a conceptual framework for understa...

I investigated the phylogenetic relationships within the New World Blepharida and among related genera, using sequences of the Internal Transcriber Spacer 2 (ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA and sequences of the COI and COII genes of the mitochondrial genome. Cladistic analyses were performed using parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods. These methods generated almost identical topol...

Biomphalaria tenagophila population from Taim (state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil) is totally resistant to Schistosoma mansoni, and presents a molecular marker of 350 bp by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism of the entire rDNA internal transcriber spacer. The scope of this work was to determine the heritage pattern of this marker. A series of cross-breedings ...

In an attempt at exploring the limitations of simple approaches to the task of piano transcription (as usually defined in MIR), we conduct an in-depth analysis of neural network-based framewise transcription. We systematically compare different popular input representations for transcription systems to determine the ones most suitable for use with neural networks. Exploiting recent advances in ...

In this paper we present 3 applications in the domain of Automatic Speech Recognition for Dutch, all of which are developed using our in-house speech recognition toolkit SPRAAK. The speech-to-text transcriber is a large vocabulary continuous speech recognizer, optimized for Southern Dutch. It is capable to select components and adjust parameters on the fly, based on the observed conditions in t...

Purpose: This research work seeks to explore Problems and Prospects of Learners with Visual Impairment in Biology Inclusive Classrooms some Subdivisions the Western Highlands Cameroon. Specifically, this study to: Investigates if collaborative practices exist a inclusive classroom, examines tripartite relationship between teacher, LVI, transcriber constraints that restrict proficiency LVI evalu...

Agreement was investigated among five labelers for the use of two prosodic annotation systems: the ToBI (Tones and Break Indices) system [1,2] and the RaP (Rhythm and Pitch) system [3]. Each system permits the labeling of pitch accents and two levels of phrasal boundaries; RaP also permits labeling of speech rhythm and distinguishes multiple levels of prominence on syllables. After training wit...

We present a speech transcription tool targeted at situations in which cost is a critical or limiting factor. This tool actively guides the transcription process by taking an automatically created transcript as a starting point, and asking for correction of only the parts likely to contain errors. The transcriber specifies a time budget, and the software uses models of transcription accuracy an...
