We present spINAch, a large diachronic corpus of French speech from radio and television archives, balanced by speakers' gender, age (20-95 years old), and spanning 60 years from 1955 to 2015. The dataset includes over 320 hours of…
Robert Cousins has posted a comment on my manuscript on ``Confidence intervals for the Poisson distribution''. His key point is that one should not include in the likelihood non-physical parameter values, even for frequency statistics. This…
Re-speaking is a mechanism for obtaining high quality subtitles for use in live broadcast and other public events. Because it relies on humans performing the actual re-speaking, the task of estimating the quality of the results is…
To present a survey on known results from the theory of transposed Poisson algebras, as well as to establish new results on this subject, are the main aims of the present paper. Furthermore, a list of open questions for future research is…
