Formal thought disorder (FTD), a hallmark of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, manifests as incoherent speech and poses challenges for clinical assessment. Traditional clinical rating scales, though validated, are resource-intensive and…
Rhythmic data are ubiquitous in the life sciences. Biologists need reliable statistical tests to identify whether a particular experimental treatment has caused a significant change in a rhythmic signal. When these signals display…
In this review, we examine computational models that explore the role of neural oscillations in speech perception, spanning from early auditory processing to higher cognitive stages. We focus on models that use rhythmic brain activities,…
Rhythmic fluctuations in acoustic energy and accompanying neuronal excitations in cortical oscillations are characteristic of human speech, yet whether a corresponding rhythmicity inheres in the articulatory movements that generate speech…
It is widely accepted that information derived from analyzing speech (the acoustic signal) and language production (words and sentences) serves as a useful window into the health of an individual's cognitive ability. In fact, most…
This paper is devoted to improve automatic emotion recognition from speech by incorporating rhythm and temporal features. Research on automatic emotion recognition so far has mostly been based on applying features like MFCCs, pitch and…
Speech evaluation is an essential component in computer-assisted language learning (CALL). While speech evaluation on English has been popular, automatic speech scoring on low resource languages remains challenging. Work in this area has…
Gene expression levels, hormone secretion, and internal body temperature each oscillate over an approximately 24-hour cycle, or display circadian rhythms. Many circadian biology studies have investigated how these rhythms vary across…
Poetry and prose are written artistic expressions that help us to appreciate the reality we live. Each of these styles has its own set of subjective properties, such as rhyme and rhythm, which are easily caught by a human reader's eye and…
This paper provides a computational analysis of poetry reading audio signals at a large scale to unveil the musicality within professionally-read poems. Although the acoustic characteristics of other types of spoken language have been…
Rhythm is a fundamental aspect of human behaviour, present from infancy and deeply embedded in cultural practices. Rhythm anticipation is a spontaneous cognitive process that typically occurs before the onset of actual beats. While most…
Brain rhythms seem central to understanding the neurophysiological basis of human cognition. Yet, despite significant advances, key questions remain unresolved. In this comprehensive position paper, we review the current state of the art on…
Current spoofing speech detection systems need more convincing evidence. In this paper, the flaws of rhythm information inherent in the TTS-generated speech are analyzed to increase the reliability of detection systems. TTS models take text…
Although recurrent neural networks (RNNs) trained on cognitive tasks have become a widely used framework for studying neural computation, the internal mechanisms by which RNNs switch between rhythms across multiple frequency bands, and how…
Automatic analysis of poetic rhythm is a challenging task that involves linguistics, literature, and computer science. When the language to be analyzed is known, rule-based systems or data-driven methods can be used. In this paper, we…
How does word frequency in pre-training data affect the behavior of similarity metrics in contextualized BERT embeddings? Are there systematic ways in which some word relationships are exaggerated or understated? In this work, we explore…
Despite the recent increase in research on artificial intelligence for music, prominent correlations between key components of lyrics and rhythm such as keywords, stressed syllables, and strong beats are not frequently studied. This is…
A Personal Sound Zones (PSZ) system aims to generate two or more independent listening zones that allow multiple users to listen to different music/audio content in a shared space without the need for wearing headphones. Most existing…
In natural speech, the speaker does not pause between words, yet a human listener somehow perceives this continuous stream of phonemes as a series of distinct words. The detection of boundaries between spoken words is an instance of a…
The present contribution is a tutorial on selected aspects of prosody, the rhythms and melodies of speech, based on a course of the same name at the Summer School on Contemporary Phonetics and Phonology at Tongji University, Shanghai, China…
