BASIC ANALYSIS ON PROSODIC FEATURES IN EMOTIONAL SPEECHIJCSEA Journal
Speech is a rich source of information which gives not only about what a speaker says, but also about what the speaker’s attitude is toward the listener and toward the topic under discussion—as well as the speaker’s own current state of mind. Recently increasing attention has been directed to the study of the emotional content of speech signals, and hence, many systems have been proposed to identify the emotional content of a spoken utterance. The focus of this research work is to enhance man machine interface by focusing on user’s speech emotion. This paper gives the results of the basic analysis on prosodic features and also compares the prosodic features
of, various types and degrees of emotional expressions in Tamil speech based on the auditory impressions between the two genders of speakers as well as listeners. The speech samples consist of “neutral” speech as well as speech with three types of emotions (“anger”, “joy”, and “sadness”) of three degrees (“light”, “medium”, and “strong”). A listening test is also being conducted using 300 speech samples uttered by students at the ages of 19 -22 the ages of 19-22 years old. The features of prosodic parameters based on the emotional speech classified according to the auditory impressions of the subjects are analyzed. Analysis results suggest that prosodic features that identify their emotions and degrees are not only speakers’ gender dependent, but also listeners’ gender dependent.

Natural Language Processing

INTRODUCTION
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the computerized approach to analyzing text that
is based on both a set of theories and a set of technologies. And, being a very active area
of research and development, there is not a single agreed-upon definition that would
satisfy everyone, but there are some aspects, which would be part of any knowledgeable
person’s definition. The definition I offer is:
Definition: Natural Language Processing is a theoretically motivated range of
computational techniques for analyzing and representing naturally occurring texts
at one or more levels of linguistic analysis for the purpose of achieving human-like
language processing for a range of tasks or applications.
Several elements of this definition can be further detailed. Firstly the imprecise notion of
‘range of computational techniques’ is necessary because there are multiple methods or
techniques from which to choose to accomplish a particular type of language analysis.
‘Naturally occurring texts’ can be of any language, mode, genre, etc. The texts can be
oral or written. The only requirement is that they be in a language used by humans to
communicate to one another. Also, the text being analyzed should not be specifically
constru.
Natural language processing with python and amharic syntax parse tree by dani...Daniel Adenew
Natural Language Processing is an interrelated disincline adding the capability of communicating as human beings to Computerworld. Amharic language is having much improvement over time thanks to researcher at PHD, MSC level at AAU. Here , I have tried to study and come up a limited scope solution that does syntax parsing for Amharic language and draws syntax parse trees using Python!!
Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enables machines to understand human language. Its goal is to build systems that can make sense of the text and automatically perform tasks like translation, spell check, or topic classification
We have compiled the most important slides from each speaker's presentation. This year’s compilation, available for free, captures the key insights and contributions shared during the DfMAy 2024 conference.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Understanding Inductive Bias in Machine LearningSUTEJAS
This presentation explores the concept of inductive bias in machine learning. It explains how algorithms come with built-in assumptions and preferences that guide the learning process. You'll learn about the different types of inductive bias and how they can impact the performance and generalizability of machine learning models.
The presentation also covers the positive and negative aspects of inductive bias, along with strategies for mitigating potential drawbacks. We'll explore examples of how bias manifests in algorithms like neural networks and decision trees.
By understanding inductive bias, you can gain valuable insights into how machine learning models work and make informed decisions when building and deploying them.
Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

2. What is NLP?
Natural language processing (NLP) is a field
of computer science, artificial intelligence,
and linguistics concerned with the interactions
between computers and human (natural) languages. As
such, NLP is related to the area of human–computer
interaction. Many challenges in NLP involve natural
language understanding, that is, enabling computers to
derive meaning from human or natural language input,
and others involve natural language generation.
The area of NLP we are concerned with is:
Text-to-Speech with emotions.
3. What is Text-to-Speech?
A text-to-speech (TTS) system converts normal
language text into speech.
The quality of a speech synthesizer is judged by its
similarity to the human voice and by its ability to
be understood clearly. An intelligible text-to-
speech program allows people with visual
impairments or reading disabilities to listen to
written works on a home computer.
4. Our Tool: EmoSpeak
EmoSpeak converts text to speech in such a way
that it takes into account all the emotions of the
text and incorporates all the extracted emotions
into speech.
The tool first identifies the various emotions in the
raw text and then modifies certain characteristics
of the voice in order to modulate it, and then
expresses the various emotions.
5. The tool is composed of two parts: a front-end and
a back-end. The front-end is responsible for text
normalization, pre-processing, or tokenization.
The back-end—often referred to as
the synthesizer—then converts the symbolic
linguistic representation into sound.
6. Voice Modulation
One of the goals of text-to-speech(TTS) systems is to
produce natural-sounding synthesized speech.
Towards this end various natural language
processing (NLP) tasks are performed to model the
prosodic aspects of the TTS.
One of the fundamental NLP task being used is the
part-of-speech (POS) tagging of the words in the
text.
7. The voice modulation aspect of the project. i.e.
changing certain characteristics of the voice based on
a particular emotion has various characteristics of
the voice that could be changed such as f0
frequency, f0 contour, f0 range, jitter, nasal
duration etc.
These characteristics are changed according to the
emotion, which is set by the user.
8. Implementation
For implementation purpose, the first task is to take a
pdf file as an input and convert it to the corresponding
text file.
The text is then tokenized and decision regarding the
class (emotional or neutral) to which it belongs is taken.
Upon deciding that the text belongs to the emotional
class, it is then required to identify the emotional
subcategory to which the text belongs- suppose ‘happy’
The above classification can be done by using WordNet
and WordNet-Affect. Now depending on emotions, the
voice can be accordingly modulated by varying the
intensity, time of pause between the words, pitch of the
voice.
10. Integrated Literature Survey
By exploring various research papers we infer that
there are various approaches available which can be
followed to implement our application. Our first task
should be to decide upon whether the text falls in
emotional or non-emotional (neutral) class.
The important thing that we came to know was that,
using WordNet and WordNet affect was the best way
in order to identify the emotions in a particular text,
because it had the maximum precision among all the
other procedures, like LSA
11. From the literature survey we also conclude that
there are various text-to-speech engines available
and our foremost task would be to choose an
appropriate engine according to the requirements.
We came across the researches in which emotional
text-to-speech engine has been implemented for the
Italian and Arabic languages.
12. Application and Significance of
the project
It can be used to inculcate the habits of reading books in
the children, as from human psychology it can be
inferred that the particular task when done or performed
beyond a certain limit, develops a liking for that
particular task. So by listening to various type of books
children will develop a habit of reading books.
It can also be used to supplement children’s reading
classes. A child learns easily especially when things are
pointed to him. They can listen to a voice reading the
contents of the book as they follow with their eyes. It can
be used as a tutor replacing the need of teacher to guide
children
13. By implementing expressive child-directed
storytelling in a text-to-speech application, it can be
useful in therapeutic education of children with
communication disorders. This can be done by
helping them to learn how to express their feeling
and try to communicate.
It can help visually impaired or the people with
certain reading disabilities to get the feel of reading a
book.
