Assistant Based Speech Recognition (ABSR) systems for air traffic control radiotelephony communication have shown their potential to reduce air traffic controllers’ (ATCos) workload. Related research activities mainly focused on utterances for...

This study presents a novel approach to remote speech recognition using a millimeter-wave micro-Doppler radar system operating at 94 GHz. By detecting micro-Doppler speech-related vibrations, the system enables non-contact and privacy-preserving spee...

People with hearing or speaking disabilities are deprived of the benefits of conventional speech recognition technology because it is based on acoustic signals. Recent research has focused on silent speech recognition systems that are based on the mo...

Population aging is increasing dementia care demand. We present an audio-driven monitoring pipeline that operates either on mobile phones, microcontroller nodes, or smart television sets. The system combines audio signal processing with AI tools for...

Multimodal interaction technology has become a key aspect of remote education by enriching student engagement and learning results as it utilizes the speech, gesture, and visual feedback as various sensory channels. This publication reflects on the l...

The use of remote testing to collect behavioral data has been on the rise, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we present psychometric functions for a commonly used speech corpus obtained in remote testing and laboratory testing conditions o...

As a fundamental and important task in remote sensing, remote sensing image scene understanding (RSISU) has attracted tremendous research interest in recent years. RSISU includes the following sub-tasks: remote sensing image scene classification, rem...

The proliferation of information technologies and the emergence of ubiquitous computing have quickly transformed electronic devices from isolated islands of data and control into interconnected parts of intelligent systems. These network-based system...

The field of computational paralinguistics emerged from automatic speech processing, and it covers a wide range of tasks involving different phenomena present in human speech. It focuses on the non-verbal content of human speech, including tasks such...

In recent years, human–drone interaction has received increasing interest from the scientific community. When interacting with a drone, humans assume a variety of roles, the nature of which are determined by the drone’s application and de...

This paper presents an implementation of RoSA, a Robot System Assistant, for safe and intuitive human-machine interaction. The interaction modalities were chosen and previously reviewed using a Wizard of Oz study emphasizing a strong propensity for s...

Hand postures and speech are convenient means of communication for humans and can be used in human–robot interaction. Based on structural and functional characteristics of our integrated leg-arm hexapod robot, to perform reconnaissance and resc...

The development of hearing diagnosis methods and hearing screening methods are not isolated phenomena: they are intimately related to changes in the cultural background and to advances in fields of medicine and engineering. In the recent years, there...

In order to improve the test efficiency of concrete strength and ensure measured data reliability, we present a novel intelligent rebound hammer system which is based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and speech recognition technology. The system uses...

Sign language serves as a vital way to communicate with individuals with hearing loss, deafness, or a speech disorder, yet accessibility remains limited, requiring technological advances to bridge the gap. This study presents the first real-time Gree...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of auditory training (AT) in patients with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) using hearing aids (HAs), comparing traditional methods with a new approach involving a wireless remote microphon...

The Zhuang ethnic minority in China possesses its own ethnic language and no ethnic script. Cultural exchange and transmission encounter hurdles as the Zhuang rely exclusively on oral communication. An online cloud-based platform was required to enha...

Campus violence is a common social phenomenon all over the world, and is the most harmful type of school bullying events. As artificial intelligence and remote sensing techniques develop, there are several possible methods to detect campus violence,...

Currently, unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones, are becoming a part of our lives and extend to many areas of society, including the industrialized world. A common alternative for controlling the movements and actions of the drone is through unwi...

Respiratory diseases represent a significant global burden, necessitating efficient diagnostic methods for timely intervention. Digital biomarkers based on audio, acoustics, and sound from the upper and lower respiratory system, as well as the voice,...

The Stroop interference task is indispensable to current neuropsychological practice. Despite this, it is limited in its potential for repeated administration, its sensitivity and its demands on professionals and their clients. We evaluated a digital...

The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to digital education as universities across the world rapidly adopted virtual classrooms for remote learning. Ensuring continuous student engagement in virtual environments remains one of the key challenges...

The presented paper is concerned with detection of presentation attacks against unsupervised remote biometric speaker verification, using a well-known challenge–response scheme. We propose a novel approach to convolutional phoneme classifier tr...

The college entrance rate of the disabled is gradually increasing, and each university is trying to provide equal rights and opportunities for college students with disabilities. However, students with disabilities still have difficulty adapting to c...
