Prosodic variation with text type

This paper describes ongoing work which aims to produce a methodology for automatically deriving several prosody models, each suited for text-to-speech synthesis of a specific text type. As part of this work an experiment is described in which human readings of documents covering 10 common text types (news, weather forecasts, etc) were analysed for their acoustic/prosodic properties. This was c...

Subword Variation in Text Message Classification

For millions of people in less resourced regions of the world, text messages (SMS) provide the only regular contact with their doctor. Classifying messages by medical labels supports rapid responses to emergencies, the early identification of epidemics and everyday administration, but challenges include textbrevity, rich morphology, phonological variation, and limited training data.

Background: The recent availability of complete sequences for numerous closely related bacterial genomes opens up new challenges in comparative genomics. Several methods have been developed to align complete genomes at the nucleotide level but their use and the biological interpretation of results are not straightforward. It is therefore necessary to develop new resources to access, analyze, an...
