ChunkitApp: Investigating the Relevant Units of Online Speech Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a web-based application for tablets ‘ChunkitApp’ developed to investigate chunking in online speech processing. The design of the app is based on recent theoretical developments in linguistics and cognitive science, and in particular on the suggestions of Linear Unit Grammar [1]. The data collected using the app provides evidence for the reality of online chunking in language processing and the validity of the construct. In addition to experimental uses, the app has potential applications in language education and speech recognition.

Task Condition and L2 oral Performance: Investigating the Combined Effects of Online Planning and Immediacy
Research evidence reported to date demonstrates the differential effects of manipulating second language (L2) task conditions on the resultant production as measured in terms of complexity, accuracy, and fluency. The present study was aimed at adding to the available body of findings by exploring the synergistic effects of two task condition variables, namely online planning and immediacy (± He...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Hardware Parameters on Power Consumptions in SPMV Algorithms on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
Although Sparse matrix-vector multiplication (SPMVs) algorithms are simple, they include important parts of Linear Algebra algorithms in Mathematics and Physics areas. As these algorithms can be run in parallel, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) has been considered as one of the best candidates to run these algorithms. In the recent years, power consumption has been considered as one of the metr...
متن کاملProsodic processing at the sentence level in infants.
We investigate whether 8-month-old infants can detect prosodic cues relevant in sentence structuring. We recorded event-related potentials to examine online responses to the processing of prosodic boundaries. Prior studies in adults have validated the closure positive shift as reflecting prosodic boundary perception during speech processing. The current study shows that in the event-related pot...
متن کاملEnhancers of the energy efficiency in tea processing industry
The cost reduction of green tea processing, the control of fossil fuel resources, and the curbing of corresponding greenhouse gases emission depend on the energy efficiency of tea processing units. Therefore, it is imperative to identify and analyze factors determining energy efficiency of these agro-industrial units. To this end, the present descriptive survey was carried out on 40 managers of...
متن کاملAutomatic Recognition of Emotions from Speech: A Review of the Literature and Recommendations for Practical Realisation
In this article we give guidelines on how to address the major technical challenges of automatic emotion recognition from speech in human-computer interfaces, which include audio segmentation to find appropriate units for emotions, extraction of emotion relevant features, classification of emotions, and training databases with emotional speech. Research so far has mostly dealt with offline eval...
