Probing Theories of Speech Timing using Optimization Modeling

Optimization-based modeling of suprasegmental speech timing

Setup times optimization with considering maintenance scheduling by using nonlinear modeling

The present paper, titled “optimizing the time of preparation, taking into account the timing of   repair and maintenance using non-linear modeling”, has been implemented with the aim of designing and presenting a mathematical model to get the best sequence of operations leading to minimum the total time of production. The main research question is related to the reduction of time and productio...

Evaluation of Dynamic Probing Testing Effect in Hand Excavated Pit on Test Results Using Numerical Modeling

In Iran, using the hand excavated pits (wells) have been more common compared to other countries. As a matter of fact, recent years, utilizing the dynamic probing test (DPT) in these types of pits has been significantly developed in Iran. This is while the standard state of doing this test is from the ground level. In this work, the dynamic probing test is carried out in two similar wells with ...

Optimization Modeling of Speech Timing

We present a novel paradigm for the computational modeling of speech timing. Our approach is based on two core assumptions: (1) the organization of speech is governed by the resolution of trade-offs between production and perception demands, and (2) isochrony at the syllable and stress group level, while not measurable in absolute terms in the speech signal, is present in a language-specific ma...

A Cool Approach to Probing Speech Cortex

In this issue of Neuron, Long et al. (2016) employ a novel technique of intraoperative cortical cooling in humans during speech production. They demonstrate that cooling Broca's area interferes with speech timing but not speech quality.
