• k-Best hidden Markov model decoding for unit selection in concatenative sound synthesis

  Nuanáin, Cárthach Ó; Jordà Puig, Sergi; Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964- (Springer, 2018)

  Concatenative synthesis is a sample-based approach to sound creation used frequently in speech synthesis and, increasingly, in musical contexts. Unit selection, a key component, is the process by which sounds are chosen ...
• Drum rhythm spaces: from global models to style-specific maps

  Gómez Marín, Daniel; Jordà Puig, Sergi; Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964- (Springer, 2018)

• A multi-profile method for key estimation in EDM

  Faraldo Pérez, Ángel; Jordà Puig, Sergi; Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964- (Audio Engineering Society, 2017)

  Key detection in electronic dance music is important for producers and DJ’s who want to mix their tracks harmonically or organise their music collection by tonal content. In this paper, we present an algorithm that improves ...
• Integrating lexical and prosodic features for automatic paragraph segmentation

  Lai, Catherine; Farrús, Mireia; Moore, Johanna D. (Elsevier, 2020)

  Spoken documents, such as podcasts or lectures, are a growing presence in everyday life. Being able to automatically identify their discourse structure is an important step to understanding what a spoken document is about. ...
• Motion capture as an instrument in multimodal collaborative learning analytics

  Vujovic, Milica; Tassani, Simone; Hernández Leo, Davinia (Springer, 2019)

  In this paper, we describe an exploratory study where we investigate the possibilities of motion capture system as an instrument to consider in multi-modal analyses of face-to-face collaborative learning scenarios. The ...
• OlloBot - Towards a text-based Arabic health conversational agent: evaluation and results

  Fadhil, Ahmed; AbuRa’ed, Ahmed (ACL (Association for Computational Linguistics), 2019)

  We introduce OlloBot, an Arabic conver-sational agent that assists physicians andsupports patients with the care process.It doesn’t replace the physicians, insteadprovides health tracking and support andassists ...
• ClassMood App: a classroom orchestration tool for identifying and influencing student moods

  Beardsley, Marc; Vujovic, Milica; Portero-Tresserra, Marta; Hernández Leo, Davinia (Springer, 2019)

  Certain affective states are less conducive to learning than others. Moreover, results from studies suggest that a classroom’s social-emotional climate affects student motivation and performance; and that moods can be ...
• Individual differences in hippocampal volume as a function of BMI and reward sensitivity

  Parcet, Maria-Antònia; Adrián Ventura, Jesús; Costumero, Víctor; Ávila, César (Frontiers, 2020)

  Sensitivity to reward is a personality trait that predisposes a person to several addictive behaviors, including the presence of different risky behaviors that facilitates uncontrolled eating. However, the multifactorial ...
• Challenges for coonnecting citizens and smart cities: ICT, e-governance and blockchain
