Una Aportación A La Lingüística: Los Sonidos Del Habla Y Su Organización Funcional

2007

The aim of this paper is to make a contribution to the study of the functional organization of phonological units, by assuming the theoretical and methodological perspective of mathematical Chaos Theory. Indexes of structuration and redundancy of the systems that contain these kinds of units are defined and a sample of languages is analyzed following this criterion. The treatment of the data in statistical terms, i.e. the number of phonological units of a language, indexes of structuration and the relationship between the number of phonological units and indexes of structuration, reveals a meaningful distance to normal distribution. The treatment of the data by means of Lyapunov test permit…

The geometry of surfaces in 4-space from a contact viewpoint

1995

We study the geometry of the surfaces embedded in ℝ4 through their generic contacts with hyperplanes. The inflection points on them are shown to be the umbilic points of their families of height functions. As a consequence we prove that any generic convexly embedded 2-sphere in ℝ4 has inflection points.

Speech Intelligibility Analysis and Approximation to Room Parameters through the Internet of Things

2021

In recent years, Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks (WASN) have been widely applied to different acoustic fields in outdoor and indoor environments. Most of these applications are oriented to locate or identify sources and measure specific features of the environment involved. In this paper, we study the application of a WASN for room acoustic measurements. To evaluate the acoustic characteristics, a set of Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi) has been used. One is used to play different acoustic signals and four are used to record at different points in the room simultaneously. The signals are sent wirelessly to a computer connected to a server, where using MATLAB we calculate both the impulse response (IR…

Towards Diagrammatic Patterns

2008

This article presents the idea that the graphical representation (concrete syntax) of a visual language can be specified based on some pre-defined diagrammatic patterns. A diagram from the Specification and Description Language (SDL) is used as illustration.

A practical solution to the problem of automatic word sense induction

2004

Recent studies in word sense induction are based on clustering global co-occurrence vectors, i.e. vectors that reflect the overall behavior of a word in a corpus. If a word is semantically ambiguous, this means that these vectors are mixtures of all its senses. Inducing a word's senses therefore involves the difficult problem of recovering the sense vectors from the mixtures. In this paper we argue that the demixing problem can be avoided since the contextual behavior of the senses is directly observable in the form of the local contexts of a word. From human disambiguation performance we know that the context of a word is usually sufficient to determine its sense. Based on this observation…

Automation Inner Speech as an Anthropomorphic Feature Affecting Human Trust: Current Issues and Future Directions

2021

This paper aims to discuss the possible role of inner speech in influencing trust in human–automation interaction. Inner speech is an everyday covert inner monolog or dialog with oneself, which is essential for human psychological life and functioning as it is linked to self-regulation and self-awareness. Recently, in the field of machine consciousness, computational models using different forms of robot speech have been developed that make it possible to implement inner speech in robots. As is discussed, robot inner speech could be a new feature affecting human trust by increasing robot transparency and anthropomorphism.

A Parallel Approach to HRTF Approximation and Interpolation Based on a Parametric Filter Model

2017

[EN] Spatial audio-rendering techniques using head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are currently used in many different contexts such as immersive teleconferencing systems, gaming, or 3-D audio reproduction. Since all these applications usually involve real-time constraints, efficient processing structures for HRTF modeling and interpolation are necessary for providing real-time binaural audio solutions. This letter presents a parametric parallel model that allows us to perform HRTF filtering and interpolation efficiently from an input HRTF dataset. The resulting model, which is an adaptation from a recently proposed modeling technique, not only reduces the size of HRTF datasets signific…

Elīzijas lietošanas variācijas analīze Borisa Džonsona un Žistēna Trido runās

2022

Veidojot saistītu runu, jāņem vērā, ka bieži vien vairāk tiek uzsvērts konkrētās runas konteksts, nevis pareizas gramatikas un izrunas īpatnības. Šādās runās var novērot daudzas saistītās runas īpatnības atkarībā no runātāja emocionalitātes, attieksmes pret konkrētās runas ideju, valodas variācijām, runas tempa, intonācijas utt. Šajā pētījumā galvenā uzmanība pievērsta runas iezīmei elīzija, kas rodas, ja saistītās runas veidošanas laikā tiek izlaista kāda skaņa. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izpētīt saistītās runas pazīmes - elīzijas īpatnības, vēsturiskos un mūsdienu aspektus un analizēt šīs pazīmes sastopamības variācijas Lielbritānijas un Kanādas premjerministru runās, ņemot vērā runas formalit…
