The phonological store construct of the working memory model is critically evaluated. Three experiments test the prediction that the effect of irrelevant sound and the effect of phonological similarity each survive the action of articulatory suppression but only when presentation of to-be-remembered lists is auditory, not visual. No evidence was found to support the interaction predicted among ...

Ten cerebellar patients were compared to 10 control subjects on a verbal working memory task in which the phonological similarity of the words to be remembered and their modality of presentation were manipulated. Cerebellar patients demonstrated a reduction of the phonological similarity effect relative to controls. Further, this reduction did not depend systematically upon the presentation mod...

While the majority of studies in sonic interaction design (SID) focuses on sound as the output modality of an interactive system, the broad scope of SID includes also the use of sound as an input modality. Sonic gestures can be defined as sound-producing actions generated by a human in order to convey information. Their use as input in computational systems has been studied in several isolated ...

An audio-visual speaker identification system is described, where the audio and visual speech modalities are fused by an automatic unsupervised process that adapts to local classifier performance, by taking into account the output score based reliability estimates of both modalities. Previously reported methods do not consider that both the audio and the visual modalities can be degraded. The v...

Portable devices come with different individual limitations in user interaction like limited display size, small keyboard and different sorts of input and output channels. To allow ubiquitous, peripheral interaction, a flexible way to provide user interfaces for multiple devices and their different modalities is needed. However, current systems and formats do not sufficiently integrate advanced...

Ten cerebellar patients were compared to 10 control subjects on a verbal working memory task in which the phonological similarity of the words to be remembered and their modality of presentation were manipulated. Cerebellar patients demonstrated a reduction of the phonological similarity eVect relative to controls. Further, this reduction did not depend systematically upon the presentation moda...

Gustatory receptors and peripheral taste cells have been identified in flies and mammals, revealing that sensory cells are tuned to taste modality across species. How taste modalities are processed in higher brain centers to guide feeding decisions is unresolved. Here, we developed a large-scale calcium-imaging approach coupled with cell labeling to examine how different taste modalities are pr...

Human beings experience life through a spectrum of modes such as vision, taste, hearing, smell, and touch. These multiple are integrated for information processing in our brain using complex network neuron connections. Likewise artificial intelligence to mimic the human way learning evolve into next generation, it should elucidate multi-modal fusion efficiently. Modality is channel that conveys...

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a common reason for mortality among women. Deep learning has recently proven better performance in predicting OC stages and subtypes. However, most of the state-of-the-art deep models employ single modality data, which may afford low-level due to insufficient representation important characteristics. Furthermore, these still lack optimization model construction, requires ...

Non-autoregressive neural machine translation (NAT) models suffer from the multi-modality problem that there may exist multiple possible translations of a source sentence, so reference sentence be inappropriate for training when NAT output is closer to other translations. In response this problem, we introduce rephraser provide better target by rephrasing according output. As train based on rat...
