SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:PhonDi Discussion Group: Ask the Algorithm: Using Machine Learning to study human speech production and perception
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nMachine learning\, the use of nuanced computer models to analyze and predict data\, has a long history in speech recognition and natural language processing\, but have largely been limited to more applied\, engineering tasks.  This talk will describe two more research-focused applications of machine learning in the study of speech perception and production.  \n\nFor speech perception\, we'll examine the difficult problem of identifying acoustic cues to a complex phonetic contrast\, in this case\, vowel nasality.  Here\, by training machine learning algorithms on acoustic measurements\, we can more directly measure the informativeness of the various acoustic features to the contrast.  This by-feature informativeness data was then used to create hypotheses about human cue usage\, and then\, to model the observed human patterns of perception\, showing that these models were able to predict not only the utilized cue\, but the subtle patterns of perception arising from less informative changes.  \n\nFor speech production\, we'll focus on data from Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA)\, which provides position data for the articulators with high temporal and spatial resolution\, and discuss our ongoing efforts to identify and characterize pause postures (specific vocal tract configurations at prosodic boundaries\; Katsika et al. 2014) in the speech of 7 speakers of American English.  Here\, the lip aperture trajectories of 800+ individual pauses were gold-standard annotated by a member of the research team\, and then subjected to principal component analysis and discrete cosine transform.  These analyses were then used to train a support vector machine (SVM) classifier\, which achieved a 94% classification accuracy in cross-validation tests\, with a Cohen's Kappa showing machine-to-annotator agreement of 0.978\, suggesting the potential for improvements in speed\, consistency\, and objective characterization of gestures.  \n\nThese methods of modeling feature importance and classifying curves using machine learning both demonstrate concrete methods which are potentially useful and applicable to a variety of questions in phonetics\, and potentially\, in linguistics in general.

SUMMARY:Presentation:CCN Forum -Where to Start? Bottom-Up Attention Improves Working
DESCRIPTION:Working memory (WM) is enhanced for items that capture attention\, but little is known about how it achieves this effect.  In this talk\, I will provide behavioral and neural evidence that bottom-up attention is helpful only when perceptual selection demands are high.  When multiple information sources compete\, bottom-up attention prioritizes the location at which encoding should begin. When encoding order is set\, bottom-up attention has little or no benefit to working memory. In contrast\, voluntary attention improves working memory regardless of encoding order.  Neural evidence from fMRI and ERP supports this hypothesis. These results suggest that bottom-up attention improves the probability that items enter WM\, but voluntary attention is a better predictor of the quality of the representation.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Department of Astronomy Mohler Prize Lecture for Excellence in Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics
DESCRIPTION:“Building the Universe\, Piece by Piece” \n\nProf. Dalcanton has led several teams that have used extraordinary images from the Hubble Space Telescope and complementary data from the ground to unravel how galaxies like ours formed\, evolved\, and produced new stars.  In her lecture\, Prof. Dalcanton will illuminate the complex forces that have shaped the Universe we see around us\, traveling from as far back in time as modern observations permit to the present.  She will highlight the unique role that the Hubble Space Telescope has played in uncovering the rich tapestry of galaxies and stars and talk about what the future of space exploration might hold for future discoveries.\n\nShould you require any reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access and opportunity related to this event please contact Stacy Tiburzi at 734-764-3440 or stibu@umich.edu
