  2. 1. Sound perception and design in multimodal environments

    Author : PerMagnus Lindborg; Anders K. Friberg; Daniel Västfjäll; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; sound; perception; design; multimodal; environment; soundscape; music; listening; crossmodal; psychoacoustics; psychophysiology; personality trait; emotion; appraisal; aesthetics; colour; correlation; regression; classification; sonification; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

    Abstract : This dissertation is about sound in context. Since sensory processing is inherently multimodal, research in sound is necessarily multidisciplinary. The present work has been guided by principles of systematicity, ecological validity, complementarity of  methods, and integration of science and art. READ MORE

  4. 2. The /k/s, the /t/s, and the inbetweens : Novel approaches to examining the perceptual consequences of misarticulated speech

    Author : Sofia Strömbergsson; David House; Åsa Wengelin; Benjamin Munson; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; speech perception; speech disorders; speech synthesis; speech analysis; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

    Abstract : This thesis comprises investigations of the perceptual consequences of children’s misarticulated speech – as perceived by clinicians, by everyday listeners, and by the children themselves. By inviting methods from other areas to the study of speech disorders, this work demonstrates some successful cases of cross-fertilization. READ MORE

  5. 3. Found speech and humans in the loop : Ways to gain insight into large quantities of speech

    Author : Per Fallgren; Jens Edlund; Fred Cummins; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Found data; found speech; human-in-the-loop; sound browsing; dimensionality reduction; visualization; crowdsourcing; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

    Abstract : Found data - data used for something other than the purpose for which it was originally collected - holds great value in many regards. It typically reflects high ecological validity, a strong cultural worth, and there are significant quantities at hand. However, it is noisy, hard to search through, and its contents are often largely unknown. READ MORE

  6. 4. Computational Modeling of the Vocal Tract : Applications to Speech Production

    Author : Saeed Dabbaghchian; Olov Engwall; Sidney Fels; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vocal tract; upper airway; speech production; biomechanical model; acoustic model; vocal tract reconstruction; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

    Abstract : Human speech production is a complex process, involving neuromuscular control signals, the effects of articulators' biomechanical properties and acoustic wave propagation in a vocal tract tube of intricate shape. Modeling these phenomena may play an important role in advancing our understanding of the involved mechanisms, and may also have future medical applications, e. READ MORE

  7. 5. Ask and distract : Data-driven methods for the automatic generation of multiple-choice reading comprehension questions from Swedish texts

    Author : Dmytro Kalpakchi; Johan Boye; Joakim Nivre; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multiple choice questions; question generation; distractor generation; reading comprehension; second-language learners; L2 learning; Natural Language Generation; flervalsfrågor; frågegenerering; distraktorsgenerering; läsförståelse; andraspråkslärande; L2-inlärning; Natural Language Generation; Speech and Music Communication; Tal- och musikkommunikation;

    Abstract : Multiple choice questions (MCQs) are widely used for summative assessment in many different subjects. The tasks in this format are particularly appealing because they can be graded swiftly and automatically. READ MORE
