Purpose of this study is to create articulation features for visual speech synthesis. Phonetic alphabet of Shaanxi Xi'an dialect has been created based on the Chinese Pinyin Scheme, which is the official Romanization system for Mandarin. It shares the common phonemes with Mandarin and supplements some special phonemes and Tone-Contour patterns. Firstly, this paper illustrates the corresponding relationship of phonemes comparing this dialect with Mandarin. Then a series of SAMPA code for Shaanxi Xi'an dialect has been developed. A detailed description of the Tone-Contour patterns of Shaanxi Xi'an dialect is given and contrasted with that of Mandarin. The correspondent regularities on consonants, vowels in the whole syllable pronunciation are also expressed between Mandarin and Shaanxi Xi'an dialect.

The study of the history of cognitive processes is essential to understand the co-evolution of humans and artefacts. In the current pioneer eye tracking experiment we used a complex and colorful early map as stimulus. We analyzed eye movements of 28 novice map readers. Our results suggests interaction between bottom-up (i.e. visual clutter) and top-down (eccentricity) cognitive processes in viewing patterns. These research findings represent a novel direction in studying the history of cognitive data visualizations and could be considered in directing contemporary design of user interfaces.

The Sprego (Spreadsheet Lego) programming method facilitates the use of different educational tools and environments to provide better understanding of spreadsheet programming while developing computational thinking and algorithmic skills. With virtual reality technologies gaining attention and popularity, our goal was to investigate and create a virtual workspace in which the students can find all the information and resources they need while learning spreadsheet programming, computer problem solving, and understanding, building algorithms. Following on this principle, we developed a 3D virtual collaboration space to provide students with one interface featuring the information and resources required to practice the Sprego method outside of and during classes. We have collected, refined, and structured the available sources and developed detailed tasks with explanations for students in the form of online documents. Our goal was to provide an all-in-one environment for the Sprego method to learn, explore, and practice all its aspects without leaving the 3D space. For our work, we examined different applications that provide virtual 3D spaces with educational support in mind. Our choice was the MaxWhere Seminar system, based on its innovative and effective approach in the field.

In our paper we discuss the implementation and the presentation features of our three-dimensional virtual library model based on the structure of the classification system of the ancient Library of Alexandria devised by the famous poet, Callimachus in the 3rd century BC. In the first version of the model we used English translations of biographies and selected literary works, but we have already started to upload Hungarian translations of some items in the database. Currently we are enhancing the content of the database with additional items of different verbal and/or multimedia text types. There are two specific aims which we would like to achieve using the 3DVLM. First, we would like to help our users be acknowledged with the literary works of the ancient Alexandrian times and, to understand and interpret the texts, acquire basic knowledge of the related mythological content. Second, in the course of reading, understanding and memorizing the various materials provided by the knowledge base of the 3DVLM, the users are inspired to gradually develop their linguistic (and also generic) knowledge, which, in our case, related to English language. In our paper we implemented a hierarchical model which has been elaborated specifically for describing different aspects of efficiency in multimedia language learning supporting systems. We focus on the effectiveness of this model and elaborate some intrinsic details of its data structure emphasizing the role of knowledge organization in the learning material. The most significant cognitive aspects of our 3DVLM are highlighted as well.

The main purpose of the research is to model the cognitive processes that occur when the physician determines the severity of the dysphonia, and to build an IT system that can substitute the subjective severity diagnosis used by a clinician. In this preliminary study the relationship between acoustic parameters and the speech defect severity determined by a clinician is investigated. Being limited in the number of pathological speech samples, it is very important to choose the effective parameters. After a phoneme level segmentation, acoustic parameters were measured at a predetermined fixed points in continuous speech. Parameters were grouped according to the phonetic classes (classes according to the manner of articulation), and the correlation of the grouped parameters with the severity of dysphonia given by the RBH scale was examined, where R stands for roughness, B for breathiness, H for overall hoarseness. The analysis was carried out on a database containing several pathological disease types, the most frequent being recurrent paresis and functional dysphonia. It was found that beyond the initial acoustic parameters such as jitter(ddp), shimmer(dda), Harmonics-to-Noise Ratio (HNR) and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (mfcc) measured on vowels, it is worth measuring Soft Phonation Index (SPI) and Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) based frequency band ratios on different phonetic classes. These measures were found to correlate with the severity of dysphonia, determined by the clinician (RBH). They provide useful information and could be useful to differentiate different types of dysphonia like functional dysphonia and recurrent paresis.

This paper introduces a cognitively-inspired symbolic framework for knowledge representation in human-machine interaction. The framework is developed within the ongoing research on a computational model of a hierarchical associative long-term memory. The model integrates neurocognitive understanding of the human memory system with selected insights from linguistics, and primarily addresses the storage aspect of the long-term memory. The proposed memory structure is conceptualized as a set of (multisource-multisink) semantic flow networks, including knowledge units of different complexity. It also provides algorithm for semantic integration and associative learning. The model is illustrated for a dedicated interaction domain, and implemented within a prototype system.

In the narrowly interpreted software development processes, most companies use already proven, partially standardized rivalling models. However, these programming-centered development models do not fit very well with the more broadly interpreted models of product management processes.

Automatic classification methods are frequently used in early diagnosis of different diseases that affect speech production. These methods can also be applied to identify speech samples from patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD) or depressive disorder (DD). This paper is interested in applying automatic stress detection and prosodic phrasing approaches on pathological speech samples in order to assess to what extent these tools can be useful either in characterizing in an unsupervised manner the prosodic attributes of pathological samples from individuals affected by PD and DD, or classifying samples as belonging to healthy or non-healthy individuals. We formulated hypotheses in connection with the duration of phonological phrases and the number of words grouped by them. We also briefly analyzed the phrase distributions. Our results show that healthy and pathological samples can be separated from each other by means of these prosodic analysers, and deep neural network or support vector machine based classifiers built on top of them.

Mixed human-robot teams are increasingly considered for accomplishing complex mission due to their complementary capabilities. A major barrier for deploying such heterogeneous teams in real-world settings, is the current lack of natural skills in robotic team members, such as the understanding and interpretation of natural language instructions that include referential descriptions of entities in the world. In this paper we report the results of an empirical study in which humans tend to use referring expressions. We show how the received results and ideas can be used as guidelines to improve dialogue systems. By integrating and extending our system with these results, we will show how complex natural language instructions can be easily translated by robotic systems.
