  2. 1. Dyslexics' phonological processing in relation to speech perception

    Author : Michael Gruber; Åke Olofsson; Peter Juslin; Maria Mody; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Dyslexia; speech perception; phonological representations; reading acquisition; sine wave speech; phonological deficit hypothesis; phonological awareness; phonological processing; orthographic processing; Psykologi; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : The general aim of this thesis was to investigate phonological processing skills in dyslexic children and adults and their relation to speech perception. Dyslexia can be studied at various levels: at a biological, cognitive and an environmental level. This thesis mainly looks at environmental and cognitive factors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Natural Language Processing for Low-resourced Code-switched Colloquial Languages – The Case of Algerian Language

    Author : Wafia Adouane; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural language processing; Deep neural networks; Low-resourced language; Colloquial language; Code-switch; Dialectal Arabic; User-generated data; Non-standardised orthography; Algerian language;

    Abstract : In this thesis we explore to what extent deep neural networks (DNNs), trained end-to-end, can be used to perform natural language processing tasks for code-switched colloquial languages lacking both large automated data and processing tools, for instance tokenisers, morpho-syntactic and semantic parsers, etc. We opt for an end-to-end learning approach because this kind of data is hard to control due to its high orthographic and linguistic variability.

  5. 3. A robust text processing technique applied to lexical error recovery

    Author : Peter Ingels; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses automatic lexical error recovery and tokenization of corrupt text input. We propose a technique that can automatically correct misspellings, segmentation errors and real-word errors in a unified framework that uses both a model of language production and a model of the typing behavior, and which makes tokenization part of the recovery process.

  6. 4. On Speech-to-Text Alignment, Phonetic Labeling, and Recursive Signal Processing

    Author : Åke Andersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; phonetic labeling; recursive algorithms; adaptive algorithms; speech-to-text alignment; dynamic programming; time-varying systems; subspace tracking; time-alignment; parameter estimation; time-warping;

    Abstract : Speech data-bases are an important issue in the study of speech communication. In particular, time-aligned and phonetically labeled speech data-bases are useful during the design of applications such as speech recognizers. The time-alignment and labeling of the speech data is traditionally done manually. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling Paralinguistic Conversational Interaction : Towards social awareness in spoken human-machine dialogue

    Author : Daniel Neiberg; Joakim Gustafson; Nigel Ward; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Parallel with the orthographic streams of words in conversation are multiple layered epiphenomena, short in duration and with a communicativepurpose. These paralinguistic events regulate the interaction flow via gaze,gestures and intonation. READ MORE
