Semantic cues, rhyme cues, and two varieties of recognition memory

Prosodic Cues to Recognition Errors

We identify methods of distinguishing between correctly and incorrectly recognized utterances (scored by hand for semantic concept accuracy) for a speech recognition system, using acoustic/prosodic characteristics. The analysis was performed on data collected during independent experiments done with an interactive voice response system that provides travel information over the phone.

Generation of Semantic Cues for Sportsvideo

Background visual cues and memory-guided reaching.

Recent research [e.g., Carrozzo, M., Stratta, F., McIntyre, J., & Lacquaniti, F. (2002). Cognitive allocentric representations of visual space shape pointing errors. Experimental Brain Research 147, 426-436; Lemay, M., Bertrand, C. P., & Stelmach, G. E. (2004). Pointing to an allocentric and egocentric remembered target. Motor Control, 8, 16-32] reported that egocentric and allocentric visual f...

Using Semantic Cues to Learn Syntax

We present a method for dependency grammar induction that utilizes sparse annotations of semantic relations. This induction set-up is attractive because such annotations provide useful clues about the underlying syntactic structure, and they are readily available in many domains (e.g., info-boxes and HTML markup). Our method is based on the intuition that syntactic realizations of the same sema...

Audio Processing Chain Recommendation Using Semantic Cues

Sound engineers typically allocate audio effects to a channel strip in series. This allows the engineer to perform a complex set of operations to fine-tune different tracks in a mixing or mastering environment. In this research, trends in plugin chain selection are investigated, focusing on transformations which modify the timbral characteristics of a sound. Using this information, a recommenda...
