Does Semantic Context Benefit Speech Understanding through "Top-Down" Processes? Evidence from Time-resolved Sparse fMRI
When speech is degraded, word report is higher for semantically coherent sentences (e.g., her new skirt was made of denim) than for anomalous sentences (e.g., her good slope was done in carrot). Such increased intelligibility is often described as resulting from "top-down" processes, reflecting an assumption that higher-level (semantic) neural processes support lower-level (perceptual) mechanis...
متن کاملBehavioral and fMRI evidence that cognitive ability modulates the effect of semantic context on speech intelligibility.
Text cues facilitate the perception of spoken sentences to which they are semantically related (Zekveld, Rudner, et al., 2011). In this study, semantically related and unrelated cues preceding sentences evoked more activation in middle temporal gyrus (MTG) and inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) than nonword cues, regardless of acoustic quality (speech in noise or speech in quiet). Larger verbal worki...
متن کاملVisual Context Driven Semantic Priming of Speech Recognition and Understanding
Fuse is a spoken language understanding system that integrates visual context into early stages of speech recognition. Given a visual scene and a spoken description, the system finds the object in the scene that best fits the meaning of the description. To solve this task, Fuse performs speech recognition and visually-grounded language understanding. Rather than treat these two problems separat...
متن کاملSemantic ambiguity processing in sentence context: Evidence from event-related fMRI.
Lexical semantic ambiguity is the phenomenon when a word has multiple meanings (e.g. 'bank'). The aim of this event-related functional MRI study was to identify those brain areas, which are involved in contextually driven ambiguity resolution. Ambiguous words were selected which have a most frequent, dominant, and less frequent, subordinate meaning. These words were presented in two types of se...
متن کاملDoes Neural Machine Translation Benefit from Larger Context?
We propose a neural machine translation architecture that models the surrounding text in addition to the source sentence. These models lead to better performance, both in terms of general translation quality and pronoun prediction, when trained on small corpora, although this improvement largely disappears when trained with a larger corpus. We also discover that attention-based neural machine t...
