Thesis Title: Acoustic-Articulatory Mapping: Analysis and Improvements with Neural Network Learning Paradigms Abstract: Human speech is one of many acoustic signals we perceive, which carries linguistic and paralinguistic (e.g: speaker identity, emotional state) information. Speech acoustics are produced as a result of different temporally overlapping gestures of speech articulators (such as lips, tongue tip, tongue […]
Title: Sustainability through High Voltage Engineering and Research Abstract : Through this talk, we will take a glance at applications of high voltage engineering in three different sustainable technologies.
