We consider the problem of learning a linear transformation of acoustic feature vectors for phonetic frame classification, in a setting where articulatory measurements are available at training time. We use the acoustic and articulatory data together in a multi-view learning approach, in particular using canonical correlation analysis to learn linear transformations of the acoustic features tha...

Aurally-adequate recording and analysis technology has been available to acoustic engineers working to measure and analyze sound in a way analogous to human hearing since the early eighties. Aurally-adequate measurement technology, using the Artificial Head for recording sound and applying psychoacoustic calculation for analysis, is vital in achieving acoustic quality and good sound design. How...

The presence of gas hydrate and associated gas in the Makran Accretionary Prism, offshore Iran, has been confirmed by various seismic indicators, including the bottom-simulating reflector (BSR), amplitude blanking, and bright spot. The pre-stack analysis and the study of amplitude-variation-with-offset (AVO) attributes are the most reliable tools for semi-quantitative study of gas hydrate and f...
