This $249,318 National Science Foundation Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences award funds a two-year project from August 2021 to July 2023 titled "Computational Methods for Speech Analysis." The Washington University is the primary awardee, with subawards to the University of Pennsylvania.

The project extends existing computational speech analysis packages and applies them to new datasets, including campaign speeches and police body-worn camera footage. It involves extracting speech features, conducting intent and encouragement analyses adjusting for secondary voice effects, and transcribing footage. The packages will be extended for joint text-audio modeling and partial pooling across speakers. Statistical methods will be adjusted to account for new applications. Deliverables include research papers on campaign speeches and body-worn cameras. The subawardee will assist with data processing and coauthor work, contributing to the scientific strength and welfare of the nation through basic research in the social sciences.
