Cheng, Y. (author), Krishnakumari, P.K. (author)To analyze inherent and diverse patterns within line-based public transport daily delay occurrences, we introduce a data-driven exploratory analysis focused on the spatial-temporal distribution of these delays. Our approach relies on the utilization of the image pattern recognition technique and k-means clustering algorithm. We extract daily...journal article 2024

Patel, T.B. (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)Children’s Speech Recognition (CSR) is a challenging task due to the high variability in children’s speech patterns and limited amount of available annotated children’s speech data. We aim to improve CSR in the often-occurring scenario that no children’s speech data is available for training the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems....journal article 2024

van Doorn, Jan Laurenszoon (author)The application of automatic speech recognition in the air traffic control domain has been researched extensively. However, its primary application remains in the training and simulation of air traffic controllers. This is due to the insufficient performance of automatic speech recognition in specific environments, such as air traffic control,...master thesis 2023

Borren, Noor (author)Introduction: Trauma-induced rib fractures are a common injury, affecting millions of individuals globally each year. Although anteroposterior thoracic radiographs are part of the standard posttraumatic screening, the most sensitive modality, and therefore golden standard for diagnosing rib fractures, is computed tomography (CT). Still, between...master thesis 2023

Lin, Chaufang (author)Whispering, characterized by its soft, breathy, and hushed qualities, serves as a distinct form of speech commonly employed for private communication and can also occur in cases of pathological speech. The acoustic characteristics of whispered speech differ substantially from normally phonated speech and the scarcity of adequate training data...master thesis 2023

Lubberding, Jari (author)Air Traffic Control (ATC) is tasked with ensuring safe separation between aircraft in a given Controlled Traffic Region (CTR). To achieve this an Air Traffic Controller (ATCo) verbally gives clearances using over the air communication. These clearances are kept track of by the ATCo using so-called ‘flight-strips’, which in modern systems are...master thesis 2023

Li, Zirui (author)End-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems improved drastically in recent years and they work extremely well on many large datasets. However, research shows that these models failed to capture the variability in speech production and have biases against the variant caused by the regional accented speech. Moreover, ASR research on...master thesis 2023

van der Heijden, Wouter (author)Introduction: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) belongs to the chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases, and primarily affects the axial skeleton. Quantitative 18F-NaF PET/CT is a new imaging approach that shows promise for accurate diagnosis and treatment assessment. Manual segmentation of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for quantitative feature...master thesis 2023

Xu, Cassie (author)Malware poses a serious security risk in today’s digital environment. The defense against malware mainly relies on proactive detection. However, antivirus products often fail to detect new malware when the signature is not yet available. In the event of a malware infection, the common remediation strategy is reinstalling the system. However, the...master thesis 2023

Rawat, Aditi (author)Automatic affect prediction systems usually assume its underlying affect representation scheme (ARS). This systematic review aims to explore how different ARS are used for in affect prediction systems based on spoken input. The focus is only on the audio input from speakers. Various datasets for speech emotion recognition were also involved in...bachelor thesis 2023

Serrano Ruber, Lucia (author)In human-human interactions, the majority of information is conveyed through body language, specifically facial expressions. Consequently, researchers have been interested in improving human-computer interactions through developing systems with automatic understanding of body language and facial expressions. This technology is especially useful...bachelor thesis 2023

Li, Erwin (author)Software testing is an important but time-consuming task, making automatic test case generation an appealing solution. The current state-of-the-art algorithm for test case generation is DynaMOSA, which is an improvement of NSGA-II that applies domain knowledge to make it more suitable for test case generation. Although these enhancements are...bachelor thesis 2023

Cuţitei, Cristian (author)Analyzing food consumption patterns can provide valuable insights into the development of obesity and eating disorders. The detection and quantification of chewing strokes are essential to facilitate this analysis. One approach to food intake analysis involves evaluating chewing sounds generated during the eating process. These sounds were...bachelor thesis 2023

Schupp, Eleen (author)When a person suffers from severe to profound hearing loss, a cochlear implant (CI) can aid in restoring auditory perception and speech comprehension. To obtain good speech comprehension, fitting of a CI to the user’s specific characteristics is crucial. Fitting can be a time-consuming process which requires the cooperation of a CI user and is...master thesis 2023

Halpern, B.M. (author), Feng, S. (author), van Son, Rob (author), van den Brekel, Michiel (author), Scharenborg, O.E. (author)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...journal article 2023
