源于饮食文化的英语习语及修辞特点

通过论述语言与文化的关系，分析了源于饮食文化的英语习语及修辞特点。指出，人类源远流长的饮食文化酝酿出丰富多彩、形象主动、喻意深刻的习语。习语是语言的核心和精华，是各种修辞手段的集中表现。大部分习语都是用非常生动的比喻形成的。正是这种恰当的形象比喻，使习语具有很强的生命力，成为语言中绚丽多彩的一部分。     

基于多分类器融合的语音识别方法研究

针对语音识别性能提高的问题,提出了一种基于多分类器融合的语音识别方法,该方法使用支持向量机(support vector machine,SVM),RBF神经网络与贝叶斯网络作为成员分类器,根据样本库中抽取的校验集计算各成员分类器的权值,以加权评分的投票策略进行决策融合.实验结果表明,通过多分类器融合的识别结果明显优于...

Realtime robust speech communication based on iterative joint source-channel decoding and demodulation algorithm for MELP vocoder

Realtime speech communications require high efficient compression algorithms to encode speech signals. As the compressed speech parameters are highly sensitive to transmission errors, robust source and channel decoding and demodulation schemes are both important and of practical use. In this paper, an iterative joint source-channel decoding and demodulation algorithm is proposed for mixed excited linear prediction (MELP) vocoder by both exploiting the residual redundancy and passing soft information throughout the receiver while introducing systematic global iteration process to further enhance the performance. Being fully compatible with existing transmitter structure, the proposed algorithm does not introduce additional bandwidth expansion and transmission delay. Simulations show substantial error correcting performance and synthesized speech quality improvement over conventional separate designed systems in delay and bandwidth constraint channels by using the joint source-channel decoding and demodulation (JSCCM) algorithm.

Multimodal Interfaces for Cell Phones and Mobile Technology

By modeling users' natural spoken and multimodal communication patterns, more powerful and highly reliable interfaces can be designed that support emerging mobile technology. In this paper, we highlight three different examples of research that is advancing state-of-the-art mobile technology. The first is the development of fusion-based multimodal systems, such as ones that combine speech and pen or touch input, which are substantially improving the robustness and stability of system recognition. The second is modeling of multimodal communication patterns to establish open-microphone engagement techniques that work in challenging multi-person mobile settings. The third is new approaches to adaptive processing, which are able to transparently guide user input to match system processing capabilities. All three research directions are contributing to the design of more reliable, usable, and commercially promising mobile systems of the future.     

Chinese Speech Recognition Model Based on Activation of the State Feedback Neural Network

IntroductionIn recentyears,speech recognition has made greatprogress.Commercial systems such as Via Voice( IBM Company) and Naturally Speaking 1 .0( Dragon System Company ) lead the field.Although the recognition ratio has greatlyimproved,many issues still need further research,such as,real- time in processing,systemcomplexity[4 6] ,very large scale integrated circuit( VLSI) implementation,etc.Among these issues,the implementation in VLSI is the most criticalchallenge for wide use of s…     

情感表达的跨文化多模态感知研究

视频和音频2个模态的信息在交际过程中起着至关重要的作用,该文研究关注的问题是情感表达中不同文化背景的听者对情感的感知(解码)与这2个模态(面部表情和情感声音)的关系。发音人为中国人,录制她的5个语句的7种情感(6种基本情感+中性情感)的音频和面部表情,制作3类刺激:只有音频信息(A-only)、只有面部视频信息(V-only)以及视频和音频同步信息(AV-Congruent)。听辨人为10名不会日语的中国人和10名不会汉语的日本人。对听辨结果分析发现,面部视频信息的加入有益于情感的感知,视频和音频信息在跨文化的情感解码中起着不同的作用,与情感的唤醒度有密切的关系,相关距离空间分布模式说明听辨结果具有稳定性,跨文化的情感感知存在普遍的心理基础。     

A Unified Framework for Multilingual Text-to-Speech Synthesis with SSML Specification as Interface

This paper describes the design of a unified framework for a multilingual text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis engine – Crystal. The unified framework defines the common TTS modules for different languages and/or dialects. The interfaces between consecutive modules conform to the speech synthesis markup language (SSML) specification for standardization, interoperability, multilinguality, and extensibility. Detailed module divisions and implementation technologies for the unified framework are introduced, together with possible extensions for the algorithm research and evaluation of the TTS synthesis. Implementation of a mixed-language TTS system for Chinese Putonghua, Chinese Cantonese, and English demonstrates the feasibility of the proposed unified framework.
