Contrastive accent in dialogue : towards a presuppositional analysis
No full textEmiel Krahmer and Marc Swerts IPO, Center for Research on User-System Interaction, Eindhoven University of Technology fe.j.krahmer/[email protected] 1 PROLOGUE What is the meaning of contrastive accents in dialogue? To answer this question, a number of hurdles have to be taken. To begin with, there is still no consensus in the prosodic literature whether a separately identifiable contrastive intonation exists in the first place. So, before we can even begin to answer the initial question, we have to try and answer a different question: do dialogue participants distinguish contrastive accents from other kinds of accents? While there are various answers to the first question (e.g., Rooth 1992, Hendriks and Dekker 1995, van Deemter 1999, Piwek 1998), this paper is to the best of our knowledge the first where both questions are addressed in combination

Tangram O-Cam Experiment Annotations and Analyses
No full textThis dataset contains (1) annotations (encodings) of the video recordings of 14 participants that participated in an o-cam experiment (and the stimulus), as reported in:
Brugel, M. (2014).Het effect van de eye gaze en lach van de spreker op het uitlokken van feedback bij deontvanger. Master’s thesis, Tilburg University. The encodings include Backchannel Opportunity Point annotations (BOPs), head movement and facial expression annotations (facereader encodings), and vocal annotations (ELAN encodings).
and (2) the scripts to get the annotations into the R environment and analyse the annotations as reported in

An Extended Pose-Invariant Lipreading System
No full textIn recent work, we have concentrated on the problem of lipreading\ud
from non-frontal views (poses). In particular, we have focused on\ud
the use of profile views, and proposed two approaches for\ud
lipreading on basis of visual features extracted from such views:\ud
(a) Direct statistical modeling of the features, namely use of\ud
view-dependent statistical models; and (b) Normalization of such\ud
features by their projection onto the ``space'' of frontal-view\ud
visual features, which allows employing one set of statistical\ud
models for all available views. The latter approach has been\ud
considered for two only poses (frontal and profile views), and\ud
for visual features of a specific dimensionality. In this paper,\ud
we further extend this work, by investigating its applicability\ud
to the case where data from three views are available (frontal,\ud
left- and right-profile). In addition, we examine the effect of\ud
visual feature dimensionality on the pose-normalization approach.\ud
Our experiments demonstrate that results generalize well to three\ud
views, but also that feature dimensionality is crucial to the\ud
effectiveness of the approach. In particular, feature\ud
dimensionality larger than 30\ud
is detrimental to multi-pose visual speech recognition performance
UKMARC AMC: Draft Rev 4.0: UK MARC format for archives and manuscripts control (UK MARC AMC)
No full textThis draft is the first attempt to establish a UK MARC specifically for Archives and Manuscripts Control since the British Library indicated that it would countenance such extensions to the national UK MARC format. In order to keep consistency with the general UK MARC format, standard UK MARC subject fields are not included in this document, since they should be taken from the latest version of the UK MARC manual. {A note of them should perhaps be included in UK MARC AMC.} {NB Text in braces is intended to be explanatory material for readers of this draft}. Certain other fields have not been included that might occasionally be used in the cataloguing of archival materials but would generally only be used for such materials in organizations which were combining archive
databases with library databases. This MARC version is intended for use with descriptions of archive or anuscript material that follow, or fit, the traditional style of cataloguing: we assume that these will normally relate
to paper or parchment originals. It is not intended for use with descriptions of other kinds of material. For these, fields may be drawn from the appropriate UK MARC document. MARC versions for use with archives in special formats should be developed, in order to complete the full range of facilities available to archivists and curators
