En la literatura referida a escenarios existen varios autores que proponen un proceso de construcción de escenarios basado en un enfoque topdown, es decir partiendo de uno o más Escenarios Generales y construyendo los siguientes escenarios en una forma de refinamiento por pasos. Por otro lado, existen otros autores que consideran que los escenarios deberían construirse desde lo particular. Nues...

Audio mixing is the adjustment of relative volumes, panning and other parameters corresponding to different sound sources, in order to create a technically and aesthetically adequate sound sum. To do this, audio engineers employ “panpots” and faders, the standard controls in audio mixers. The design of such devices has remained practically unchanged for decades since their introduction. At the ...

This study was an attempt to identify the interlingual strategies employed to translate English subtitles into Persian and to determine their frequency, as well. Contrary to many countries, subtitling is a new field in Iran. The study, a corpus-based, comparative, descriptive, non-judgmental analysis of an English-Persian parallel corpus, comprised English audio scripts of five movies of differ...

For five years, the author has systematically studied audio capabilities of Pod and Mobile TV devices from Apple, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson. This paper is the first public report from parts of the test investigating what a Mobile user is able to hear, and what she can't. Taking test results and perceptual criteria into account, guidelines are given for optimum station handling of program...

A technique to peform speech recognition directly from audio files encoded using the MPEG/Audio coding standard is described. The technique works in the compressed domain and does not require the MPEG/Audio file to be decompressed. Only the encoded subband samples are extracted and processed for training and recognition. The underlying speech recognition engine used is based on the Hidden Marko...

We present a method for generating a video of a talking face. The method takes as inputs: (i) still images of the target face, and (ii) an audio speech segment; and outputs a video of the target face lip synched with the audio. The method runs in real time and is applicable to faces and audio not seen at training time. To achieve this we propose an encoder-decoder CNN model that uses a joint em...

FireWire audio devices are flooding the (semi-)pro audio interface market. At LAC2005, the FreeBoB project has been presented, aiming to implement support for devices built on top of the BridgeCo BeBoB platform. This paper discusses the evolution of the FreeBoB project towards a framework generic enough to support a virtually any FireWire based audio device, BeBoB based or not, conforming to th...
