We compare two methods of assessing explanatory style--the content analysis of verbatim explanations (CAVE) and the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ). The CAVE technique is a method that allows the researcher to analyze any naturally occurring verbatim materials for explanatory style. This technique permits the measurement of various populations that are unwilling or unable to take the AS...

This paper presents an approach to realizing various emotional expressions and speaking styles in synthetic speech using HMM-based speech synthesis. We show two methods for modeling speaking styles and emotions. In the first method, called “style dependent modeling,” each speaking style and emotion is individually modeled. On the other hand, in the second method, called “style mixed modeling,” ...

PURPOSE Functional Reach Test scores were examined for the effects of traditional and alternate methods and subject characteristics. METHODS Eighty subjects aged 7 to 16 years were tested.

We propose simple and flexible training and decoding methods for influencing output style and topic in neural encoderdecoder based language generation. This capability is desirable in a variety of applications, including conversational systems, where successful agents need to produce language in a specific style and generate responses steered by a human puppeteer or external knowledge. We decom...
