Why Foil 4? A first look
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent studies have shown that ability to recognize an imitated voice is affected by topic and familiarity with the person being imitated. The signal detection methods used in those studies give no specific information about the distribution of non matching positive responses (false alarms) amongst voices used as distracters (foils). This paper shows that there was a selective listener preference for Foil 4. However, preliminary comparison of Foil 4 with the target imitated voice has not revealed conclusively any similarities in speech features that account for listeners’ preferential selection.

FS-FOIL: an inductive learning method for extracting interpretable fuzzy descriptions
This paper is concerned with FS-FOIL—an extension of Quinlan’s First-Order Inductive Learning Method (FOIL). In contrast to the classical FOIL algorithm, FS-FOIL uses fuzzy predicates and, thereby, allows to deal not only with categorical variables, but also with numerical ones, without the need to draw sharp boundaries. This method is described in full detail along with discussions how it can ...
متن کاملTurning hard problems on their heads
Much of the difficulty in assessing theories of consciousness stems from their advocates not supplying adequate or convincing characterisations of the phenomenon (or data) they hope to explain. Yet, to make any reasonable assessment this is precisely what is required, for it is not as if our ‘pre-theoretical’ intuitions are philosophically innocent. In what follows, I will attempt to reveal, us...
متن کاملHydrodynamic effects of leading-edge tubercles on control surfaces and in flapping foil propulsion
This thesis investigates the hydrodynamic effects of biologically-inspired leading-edge tubercles. Two complementary studies examine the performance of three-dimensional hydrofoils based on the pectoral flippers of the Humpback Whale (novangilae megaptera). The first study uses a static foil, with application to conventional control surfaces– such as rudders or dive planes–found on marine vehic...
متن کاملAre Substitutions the Better Examples? Learning Complete Sets of Clauses with Frog
The paper presents an approach for machine learning in a restricted first-order language with finite minimal Herbrand models by means of a search through a propositional representation space. The learning target is to find a set of goal clauses which can be used to define a target predicate. That is, we deal with single-predicate learning. For the search process we use the learning algorithm Jo...
متن کاملThe Effects of Different Methods of Date Syrup Purification on the Physicochemical Properties of Produced Date Syrup Powder
Date syrup powder is a new product which can be used as sugar substitute. First, the date syrupwas spread out on a foil and placed in the oven at 60°C for 24 hours. Date syrup was separated from the foil andgrinded. 2% agar and 2% starch were added and syrup with agar and starch that was in a lumpy shape werecrushed and spread on the foil and placed at 60°C for 24 hours. Powdered granules, agar...
