Representation of the vowel /eh/ in the auditory nerve of cats with a noise-induced hearing loss – Roger Miller (Center for Hearing Science/Biomedical Engineering Johns Hopkins School Of Medicine)
October 27, 2015
When:
February 27, 1996 all-day
Abstract I will discuss the damage to the peripheral auditory system which results from acoustic trauma and how these defecits can be used to create an animal model of presbycusis. In our study, we examined[…]
New Developments in the Use of Markov Models and Artificial Neural Networks for Speech Recognition – Herv’e Bourlard (Facult’e Polytechnique de Mons/Mons, Belgium and International Computer Science Institute/Berkeley)
October 27, 2015
When:
December 5, 1995 all-day
Abstract Recently it has been shown that Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can be used to augment speech recognizers whose underlying structure is essentially that of Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). In particular, we have shown that[…]
Spoken Language Interfaces to Computers: Achievements and Challenges – Victor Zue (Spoken Language Systems Group, Laboratory for Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
October 27, 2015
When:
November 28, 1995 all-day
Abstract Over the last five years, we have witnessed significant progress in developing systems (and the underlying technologies) that can provide intuitive interfaces to computers using spoken language. The progress is largely spurred by government-sponsored[…]
An Automated Reading Coach that Listens – Jack Mostow (Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute and Human-Computer Interaction Institute)
October 27, 2015
When:
November 21, 1995 all-day
Abstract We report progress on a new approach to combating illiteracy — getting computers to listen to children read. We describe a prototype automated coach for oral reading. It displays a story on the screen,[…]
Quantificational Domains and Recursive Contexts – Barbara Partee (University of Massachusetts, Amherst)
October 27, 2015
When:
November 7, 1995 all-day
Abstract The implicit delimiting or narrowing of the domain of quantification, e.g. in the case of “unselective quantifiers” such as the adverbs of quantification always, usually, mostly, etc., is a heavily context-dependent phenomenon that has[…]
