Combining Informatio for Memory-based Pitch Acc
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe results on pitch accent placement in Dutch text obtained with a memory-based learning approach. The training material consists of newspaper texts that have been prosodically annotated by humans, and subsequently enriched with linguistic features and informational metrics using generally available, lowcost, shallow, knowledge-poor tools. We report on the effects of context-modelling and the nearest neighbours parameter (k), and show the advantage of combining features of a different nature, where the best performance yields a cross-validated F-score of 82. Evaluation on an independent test corpus shows that our approach outperforms existing TTS systems for Dutch.

Intelligent Control for the Variable-Speed Variable-Pitch Wind Energy System
In this paper, a new type of multi-variable compensation control method for the wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is presented. Based on wind energy conversion systems, combining artificial neural network (ANN) control and PID, a new type of PID NN intelligent controller for steady state torque of the wind generator is designed, by which the steady state torque output is regulated to track ...

متن کاملAn Empirical Reevaluation of Absolute Pitch: Behavioral and Electrophysiological Measurements
Here, we reevaluated the "two-component" model of absolute pitch (AP) by combining behavioral and electrophysiological measurements. This specific model postulates that AP is driven by a perceptual encoding ability (i.e., pitch memory) plus an associative memory component (i.e., pitch labeling). To test these predictions, during EEG measurements AP and non-AP (NAP) musicians were passively expo...
متن کاملFixed-structure H∞ control design for linear Individual Pitch Control of two-bladed wind turbines
In this paper, a fixed-structure Individual Pitch Control (IPC) design method for two-bladed wind turbines is presented. IPC is an active load reduction technique designed to lower wind turbine loads, which are caused by continuously varying wind conditions. Based on load measurements, the once-per-revolution (1P) loads and harmonics of this frequency (2P, 3P, etc.) can be reduced by rotating (...
متن کاملDopamine D1 receptors in the anterior cingulate cortex regulate effort-based decision making.
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been implicated in encoding whether or not an action is worth performing in view of the expected benefit and the cost of performing the action. Dopamine input to the ACC may be critical for this form of effort-based decision making; however, the role of distinct ACC dopamine receptors is yet unknown. Therefore, we examined in rats the effects of an intra-...
