Falling silent, lost for words ... Tracing personal involvement in interviews with Dutch war veterans
In sources used in oral history research (such as interviews with eye witnesses), passages where the degree of personal emotional involvement is found to be high can be of particular interest, as these may give insight into how historical events were experienced, and what moral dilemmas and psychological or religious struggles were encountered. In a pilot study involving a large corpus of interview recordings with Dutch war veterans, we have investigated if it is possible to develop a method for automatically identifying those passages where the degree of personal emotional involvement is high. The method is based on the automatic detection of exceptionally large silences and filled pause segments (using Automatic Speech Recognition), and cues taken from specific n-grams. The first results appear to be encouraging enough for further elaboration of the method.

We examine two different methods for finding rising words (among which neologisms) and falling words (among which archaisms) in decades of magazine texts (millions of words) and in years of tweets (billions of words): on…
Non-invasive electromyographic speech neuroprosthesis: a geometric perspective
In this article, we present a high-bandwidth egocentric neuromuscular speech interface for translating silently voiced speech articulations into textand audio. Specifically, we collect electromyogram (EMG) signals from m…
