This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program provides $154,156 to the University of Oregon to conduct research on how people adapt to differences in speech production across speakers. The project examines the role of learned selective attention in enabling listeners to rapidly adjust to novel speech accents. The research combines computational modeling and behavioral experimentation to test key predictions...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $433,242 Project Grant to The Washington University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The three-year award will support research modeling the cognitive challenges of accented speech. The research team will conduct experiments measuring cognitive processing during listening to accented speech using methods from listening effort literature and behavioral economics. Eye-tracking will test if listeners...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences provides $245,398 to support research estimating articulatory constriction place and timing from speech acoustics under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.075). The award funds development of a speech inversion tool to recover details of articulatory movements from acoustic speech recordings using machine learning methods. Researchers will extend...
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems (CFDA 47.070 - Computer and Information Science and Engineering) supports research into probing the inner workings of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and comparing them to human cognition during speech recognition.
