English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Processing of Language Data
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Deep learning speech synthesis refers to the application of deep learning models to generate natural-sounding human speech from written text(text-to-speech) or spectrum(vocoder). Deep neural networks(DNN) are trained using a large amount of recorded speech and, in the case of a text-to-speech system, the associated labels and/or input text.

Laser videodiscs. Below its plastic surface, one of the grooveless platters hides billions of pits so tiny that 100 of them could fit in the diameter of an eyelash.

Record 4 2012-11-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cognitive Psychology
CONT

As we have discussed, comprehenders must map the spoken or written input onto entries in the mental lexicon and must generate various levels of syntactic, semantic, and conceptual structure. In language production, people are faced with the converse problem. They must map from a conceptual structure to words and their elements.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Psychologie cognitive
CONT

La principale question qui se pose aujourd'hui est d'établir avec précision quand et comment les informations phonologiques, lexicales, sémantiques et pragmatiques participent à la perception, la compréhension et la production du langage.

Record 6 2011-10-13

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Computer Programs and Programming
  • Telecommunications
DEF

A program that uses information in natural language input to fill data structures that the rest of the system can use; it identifies the various components of the input sentence and constructs an internal representation using syntactic and semantic clues.

CONT

X-TRA and XTRA-TE share the same analyzer, a syntax driven top-down, depth-first parser written in the formalism of definite clause grammars..., but augmented with semantic routines for carrying out lexical and structural disambiguation. The parser takes the English input sentence... and accomplishes syntactic/semantic analysis on the list. Syntax and semantics are closely integrated so that syntactically well-formed but semantically invalid parses are ruled out as early as possible.

CONT

FGA, unlike other attempted natural language parser, is based on only a small subset of the complete French grammar and dictionary.

CONT

We intend to encourage language learners to communicate with their pen pals electronically. ... the intended mail message will first be subjected to one of our language analysers. The user will be helped to correct his/her message to an adequate level of grammatical correctness.

Les propositions du groupe d'experts respecteront le système de partage des compétences en matière de réglementation des valeurs mobilières au Canada et permettront la participation volontaire des provinces et des territoires. Le groupe d'experts indépendant sera secondé par un petit secrétariat et il pourra au besoin recourir à des chercheurs et des conseillers. Le groupe consultera les gouvernements et les organismes de réglementation. Il cherchera à mobiliser les organisations autoréglementées et les participants au marché et invitera le grand public à fournir des commentaires au moyen du site Web ou de présentations écrites. Le groupe d'experts soumettra son rapport final au ministre fédéral des Finances et aux ministres provinciaux et territoriaux responsables de la réglementation des valeurs mobilières d'ici la fin de 2008.

Record 14 1995-03-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Graphics
CONT

A conventional animation is created in a fairly fixed sequence : The story for the animation is written(or perhaps merely conceived), then a storyboard is laid out.... Next, the soundtrack(if any) is recorded, a detailed layout is produced(with a drawing for every scene in the animation), and the soundtrack is read-that is, the instants at which significant sounds occur are recorded in order. The detailed layout and the soundtrack are then correlated. Next, certain key frames of the animation are drawn-these are the frames in which the entities being animated are at extreme or characteristic positions, from which their intermediate position can be inferred. The intermediate frames are then filled in(this is called inbetweening), and a trial film is made(a pencil test)... Many stages of conventional animation seem ideally suited to computer assistance, especially inbetweening and coloring, which can be done using the seed-fill techniques.... Before the computer can be used, however, the drawings must be digitized. This can be done by using optical scanning, by tracing the drawings with a data tablet, or by producing the original drawings with a drawing program in the first place. The drawings may need to be postprocessed(e. g., filtered) to clean up any glitches arising from the input process(especially optical scanning), and to smooth the contours somewhat. The composition stage, in which foreground and background figures are combined to generate the individual frames for the final animation, can be done with the image-composition techniques....
