Fast DCTTS: Efficient Deep Convolutional Text-to-Speech
No full textWe propose an end-to-end speech synthesizer, Fast DCTTS, that synthesizes speech in real time on a single CPU thread. The proposed model is composed of a carefully-tuned lightweight network designed by applying multiple network reduction and fidelity improvement techniques. In addition, we propose a novel group highway activation that can compromise between computational efficiency and the regularization effect of the gating mechanism. As well, we introduce a new metric called elastic mel-cepstral distortion (EMCD) to measure the fidelity of the output mel-spectrogram. In experiments, we analyze the effect of the acceleration techniques on speed and speech quality. Compared with the baseline model, the proposed model exhibits improved MOS from 2.62 to 2.74 with only 1.76% computation and 2.75% parameters. The speed on a single CPU thread was improved by 7.45 times, which is fast enough to produce mel-spectrogram in real time without GPU

Khoo Kay Kim, professor of Malaysian history : a biobibliometric study
No full textPresents an analysis of the publication productivity, authorship pattern, channels of communication, journal preference and language preference of Professor Dato' Khoo Kay Kim, Professor of Malaysian History in the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. The results of this biobibliometric study indicate that he can be a role model for future Malaysian historians to emulate his various achievements especially in the field of history education
The internet and the public in South Korea: online political talk and culture
No full textThis dissertation is an ethnographic study of online political talk and its culture in South Korea. In this study, I examine the action and culture of online-talk participants from the insider’s perspective. My main argument is that online political talk has given rise to the subjectivity that characterizes a new type of the public, which I name the simin public. I use simin as the term to refer to a South Korean conception of citizenship.
In demonstrating the rise of a subjectivity of the simin public, I first identify and characterize a central practice of online-talk participants: a social role that I term citizen polemicism. This role refers to a set of actions of judging public matters, offering such judgments in public, and arguing with fellow citizens. Then, I investigate what moves quite a few citizens to engage in citizen polemicism and why the voice of the citizen polemicist is considered to be a legitimate public voice. In answering the former question, I argue that citizen polemicists are morally motivated public communicators. In inquiring into the latter question, I claim that the legitimacy of the citizen polemicist’s voice depends on the voice’s embededness in open, critical, and common sense-oriented discussion. Lastly, I identify a main culture—which I call the culture of thininking together in public—that frames online political talk in general, which centers on the interactions between the citizen polemicist and its audience but is not reduced to them. In this culture, online-talk participants are willing to think together about public matters in a public place and in a critical manner. The thinking-together-in-public culture leads online-talk participants to form shared understandings and judgments about public matters and further to produce collective political discourses.
This dissertation explores two additional research issues: how the Internet has contributed to the rise of the simin public and how individual citizens are transformed into members of the simin public. In examining the former issue, I argue that the Internet not only provides ordinary citizens with new opportunities for and new abilities of political communication, but also shapes and nurtures specific types of communicative actions, new desires and interests with regard to political communication, and online-talk participants’ understandings of their communicative actions and themselves. In investigating the latter issue, I emphasize the importance of political imagination—exemplified by the role of simin in the rise of the simin public—which builds upon an association between the social and communication technology.Item withdrawn by Mark Zulauf ([email protected]) on 2012-11-26T15:37:38Z

High-throughput in vitro processing of human primary microRNA by the recombinant microprocessor
No full text© 2021 The Author(s)We describe a protocol to conduct a high-throughput in vitro processing assay, using 1,881 human primary microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) and recombinant Microprocessor complex, followed by deep sequencing library generation. This comprehensive approach allows the mapping of cleavage sites and the measurement of processing efficiency of a large number of substrates simultaneously. Our protocol is readily modifiable to investigate the effects of chemicals and regulatory proteins. Moreover, cis-acting elements can be examined by replacing the wild-type pri-miRNAs with mutant variants. For complete details on the use and execution of this profile, please refer to Kim et al. (2021).11Nscopu
