A Rational Analysis of the Speech-to-Song Illusion
Here we provide a formal account of this phenomenon, by recasting it as a statistical inference whereby a rational agent attempts to decide whether a sequence of utterances is more likely to have been produced in a song or speech.
Around the world in 60 words: A generative vocabulary test for online research
Six behavioral experiments (N=236) in six countries and eight languages show that (a) our test can distinguish between native speakers of closely related languages, (b) the test is reliable ($r=0. 82$), and (c) performance strongly correlates with existing tests (LexTale) and self-reports.
Large language models predict human sensory judgments across six modalities
Determining the extent to which the perceptual world can be recovered from language is a longstanding problem in philosophy and cognitive science.
Words are all you need? Language as an approximation for human similarity judgments
Based on the results of this comprehensive study, we provide a concise guide for researchers interested in collecting or approximating human similarity data.
Bridging the prosody GAP: Genetic Algorithm with People to efficiently sample emotional prosody
The human voice effectively communicates a range of emotions with nuanced variations in acoustics.
WavThruVec: Latent speech representation as intermediate features for neural speech synthesis
Recent advances in neural text-to-speech research have been dominated by two-stage pipelines utilizing low-level intermediate speech representation such as mel-spectrograms.
Exploring emotional prototypes in a high dimensional TTS latent space
Recent TTS systems are able to generate prosodically varied and realistic speech.
Gibbs Sampling with People
We formulate both methods from a utility-theory perspective, and show that the new method can be interpreted as 'Gibbs Sampling with People' (GSP).
