Multilingual and Unsupervised Subword Modeling for Zero-Resource Languages

Enno Hermann

Subword modeling for zero-resource languages aims to learn low-level representations of speech audio without using transcriptions or other resources from the target language (such as text corpora or pronunciation dictionaries). A good representation should ...

Dynamical Coulomb Blockade as a Local Probe for Quantum Transport

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Jacob Senkpiel

Quantum fluctuations are imprinted with valuable information about transport processes. Experimental access to this information is possible, but challenging. We introduce the dynamical Coulomb blockade (DCB) as a local probe for fluctuations in a scanning ...

Normalized Gaussian path integrals

Giulio Corazza

Path integrals play a crucial role in describing the dynamics of physical systems subject to classical or quantum noise. In fact, when correctly normalized, they express the probability of transition between two states of the system. In this work, we show ...

Linked Books: un indice citazionale per la storia di Venezia

Matteo Romanello, Giovanni Colavizza

We present the outcomes of the Linked Books project, resulting in a prototype citation index interlinking the Italian national library catalog (Opac SBN) with the information system of the State Archive of Venice and international authority records or “met ...

The relationship between the entropy of language and its complexity has been the subject of much speculation – some seeing the increase of linguistic entropy as a sign of linguistic complexification or interpreting entropy drop as a marker of greater regul ...

We address the problem of automatically predicting group performance on a task, using multimodal features derived from the group conversation. These include acoustic features extracted from the speech signal, and linguistic features derived from the conver ...

Analyse multi-échelle de n-grammes sur 200 années d'archives de presse

Vincent Christian Buntinx

The recent availability of large corpora of digitized texts over several centuries opens the way to new forms of studies on the evolution of languages. In this thesis, we study a corpus of 4 million press articles covering a period of 200 years. The thesis ...

Layout Analysis on Newspaper Archives

Frédéric Kaplan, Vincent Christian Buntinx, Aris Xanthos

The study of newspaper layout evolution through historical corpora has been addressed by diverse qualitative and quantitative methods in the past few years. The recent availability of large corpora of newspapers is now making the quantitative analysis of l ...

Intonation Modelling for Speech Synthesis and Emphasis Preservation

Pierre-Edouard Jean Charles Honnet

Speech-to-speech translation is a framework which recognises speech in an input language, translates it to a target language and synthesises speech in this target language. In such a system, variations in the speech signal which are inherent to natural hum ...

Studying Linguistic Changes on 200 Years of Newspapers

Frédéric Kaplan, Vincent Christian Buntinx, Cyril Antoine Michel Bornet

Large databases of scanned newspapers open new avenues for studying linguistic evolution. By studying a two-billion-word corpus corresponding to 200 years of newspapers, we compare several methods in order to assess how fast language is changing. After cri ...
