Hubs for Freight and Passengers?: Exploring the suitability of adding logistics functions to mobility hubs

In the coming years, cities will have to deal with transportation challenges in terms of accessibility and sustainability. Passenger and freight transport are expected to increase, while the transport sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and congestion in cities. Although historically both ecosystems (passenger transport and...

In Search for Space: Integrating Hubs for Freight and Passengers Based on Case Studies in Rotterdam

Automatic evaluation of spontaneous oral cancer speech using ratings from naive listeners

In this paper, we build and compare multiple speech systems for the automatic evaluation of the severity of a speech impairment due to oral cancer, based on spontaneous speech. To be able to build and evaluate such systems, we collected a new spontaneous oral cancer speech corpus from YouTube consisting of 124 utterances rated by 100 non...

Objective speech outcomes after surgical treatment for oral cancer: An acoustic analysis of a spontaneous speech corpus containing 32.850 tokens

Introduction: Surgical treatment for oral cancer leads to lasting changes of the vocal tract and individuals treated for oral cancer (ITOC) often experience speech problems. The purpose of this study was to analyse the acoustic properties of the spontaneous speech of individuals who were surgically treated for oral cancer. It was investigated...

Low-resource automatic speech recognition and error analyses of oral cancer speech

In this paper, we introduce a new corpus of oral cancer speech and present our study on the automatic recognition and analysis of oral cancer speech. A two-hour English oral cancer speech dataset is collected from YouTube. Formulated as a low-resource oral cancer ASR task, we investigate three acoustic modelling approaches that previously...

Usability of Physical Internet Characteristics for Achieving More Sustainable Urban Freight Logistics: Barriers and Opportunities Revealed by Dominant Stakeholder Perspectives

Urban freight logistics currently have to deal with multiple unsustainable conditions. Physical Internet (PI) characteristics show promise in making urban freight logistics more sustainable. This paper explores the opportunities and barriers to implementing this concept. Q-methodology is a method used to reveal different stakeholder perspectives...

Pathological voice adaptation with autoencoder-based voice conversion

In this paper, we propose a new approach to pathological speech synthesis. Instead of using healthy speech as a source, we customise an existing pathological speech sample to a new speaker’s voice characteristics. This approach alleviates the evaluation problem one normally has when converting typical speech to pathological speech, as in our...
