Difference in Perceived Speech Signal Quality Assessment Among Monolingual and Bilingual Teenage Students
PublikacjaThe user perceived quality is a mixture of factors, including the background of an individual. The process of auditory perception is discussed in a wide variety of fields, ranging from engineering to medicine. Many studies examine the difference between musicians and non-musicians. Since musical training develops musical hearing and other various auditory capabilities, similar enhancements should be observable in case of bilingual...

Sprawiedliwość agrarna Thomasa Paine’a i narodziny dyskursu egalitarnego
PublikacjaThomas Paine napisał Sprawiedliwość agrarną we Francji w roku 1796 w szczycie posttermidoriańskiego zamętu, krótko po wprowadzeniu Konstytucji Roku III. W swoim ostatnim wielkim pamflecie domaga się opodatkowania wielkich właścicieli ziemskich i pomoc biednym oraz wywłaszczonym. Artykuł krótko omawia propozycję Paine i analizuje jego strukturę argumentacyjną. Stawiam w niej tezę, że Paine nie do końca świadomie przechodzi od dowodu...

Elimination of Impulsive Disturbances From Archive Audio Signals Using Bidirectional Processing
PublikacjaIn this application-oriented paper we consider the problem of elimination of impulsive disturbances, such as clicks, pops and record scratches, from archive audio recordings. The proposed approach is based on bidirectional processing—noise pulses are localized by combining the results of forward-time and backward-time signal analysis. Based on the results of specially designed empirical tests (rather than on the results of theoretical analysis),...

Dynamic Bayesian Networks for Symbolic Polyphonic Pitch Modeling
PublikacjaSymbolic pitch modeling is a way of incorporating knowledge about relations between pitches into the process of an- alyzing musical information or signals. In this paper, we propose a family of probabilistic symbolic polyphonic pitch models, which account for both the “horizontal” and the “vertical” pitch struc- ture. These models are formulated as linear or log-linear interpo- lations of up to fi ve sub-models, each of which is...

Simplified saturation modelling in three-leg power transformer for the system stability analisys
PublikacjaThe paper presents a simplified method for modelling non-linearity of the magnetic circuit of the power transformer. The saturation effect is implemented by describing the self and mutual inductances as a function of the magnetic flux. The most important element of this function is the saturation coefficient which is calculated based on transient state during the unloaded transformer switch on. The transformer model is described...

Geometric Algebra Model of Distributed Representations
PublikacjaFormalism based on GA is an alternative to distributed representation models developed so far-Smolensky's tensor product, Holographic Reduced Representations (HRR) and Binary Spatter Code (BSC). Convolutions are replaced by geometric products, interpretable in terms of geometry which seems to be the most natural language for visualization of higher concepts. This paper recalls the main ideas behind the GA model and investigates...

Infedeltà nel trasferimento delle collocazioni nella traduzione dei romanzi di Michel Houellebecq dal francese all’italiano
PublikacjaBuilding on my PhD project, this paper explores fidelity challenges in the transfer of verb-nominal collocations (VNC) in the Italian translations of seven of Michel Houellebecq’s novels. I examine various kinds of infidelity, such as omissions, errors, incongruence in constituent transmission, incoherence in recurrent VNC transmission, and infidelity at the level of phraseological coverage. The accurate transfer...

Extending Expressiveness of Knowledge Description with Contextual Approach
PublikacjaIn the paper we show how imposing the contextual structure of a knowledge base can lead to extending its expressiveness without changing the underlying language. We show this using the example of Description Logics, which constitutes a base for a range of dialects for expressing knowledge in ontologies (including state-of-the-art OWL). While the contextual frameworks have been used in knowledge bases, they have been perceived as...

Analysis of allophones based on audio signal recordings and parameterization
PublikacjaThe aim of this study is to develop an allophonic description of English plosive consonants based on recordings of 600 specially selected words. Allophonic variations addressed in the study may have two sources: positional and contextual. The former one depends on the syllabic or prosodic position in which a particular phoneme occurs. Contextual allophony is conditioned by the local phonetic environment. Co-articulation overlapping...
