This paper is devoted to modeling prosody of whispered Russian speech. The practical purpose of this research is to extend voice cloning techniques to whispered speech modality. The authors present their analysis of prosodic features that contribute to the expression of sentence type intonation

This study proposes model and feature based strategies for au-tomatic whispered speech recognition. Our goal is to compensate for the mismatch between neutral-trained recognizer models and parameters of whispered speech. We propose a pseudo-whisper generation from neutral speech samples

conflict of interests will lead to an evolutionary arms race between manipulative signallers and sceptical receivers, resulting in ever more costly signals; whereas common interests will lead to cheap signals or "conspiratorial whispers ". Simple game-theoretic and evolutionary simulation models

. This is the first study to collectively consider the five speech modes: whispered, soft, neutral, loud and shouted. After corpus development, analysis is performed for i) sound intensity level, ii) duration and silence percentage, iii) frame energy distribution and iv) spectral tilt. The analysis shows vocal effort

at the primary receiver meets a certain threshold. We refer the Cognitive Radio Networks that employs this model as “Whisper CRNs ” (since secondary users have to use lower transmission power to satisfy the interference constraint). In this work, we systematically analyze the performance of whisper CRNs

Abstract. The frequencies of a cryogenic sapphire oscillator and a hydrogen maser are compared to set new constraints on a possible violation of Lorentz invariance. We give a detailed description of microwave resonators operating in Whispering Gallery modes and then apply it to derive explicit

This article presents a model of the use of communication about personal experience or experiences of third parties (gossip) in the context of cooperation. To date, previous research on the effect of gossip on cooperation has focused primarily on the manipulation of reputations. We present a formal

Abstract. Creativity, whether or not it is computational, doesn't occur in a vacuum, it is a situated, embodied activity that is connected with cultural, social, personal and physical contexts. Artificial creative systems are computational models that attempt to capture personal, social
