Research on language recognition algorithm based on improved CFCC feature extraction by Hua LONG, Zhangheng HUANG, Yubin SHAO, Qingzhi DU, Shumeng SU

“…Aiming at the problem of low language recognition rate under low signal-to-noise ratio, a language recognition method based on fractional wavelet transform was proposed.Firstly, the adaptive filtering algorithm was used to filter the noise of the noisy signal, so as to reduce the influence of noise on the feature extraction and improve the processing ability of the system for non-stationary signals.Secondly, the motion of the signal on the basilar membrane of the cochlea was simulated, and then the signal was compressed by a nonlinear power function.Finally, the improved CFCC were extracted by simulating the human hearing process.Experiments show that compared with the traditional CFCC, the language recognition rate is significantly improved, and the language recognition rate is increased by 11.1% on average under the 0 dB signal-to-noise ratio, which verifies the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithm.…”

Corps mécanique et pensée-mouvement : les marionnettes animales de la Handspring Puppet Company by Noémie Lorentz

“…What does the staging of puppets entail regarding the question of porosity between the animal and the human? Discarding any attempt to create automotion, the new conventions in contemporary puppetry imply meaningful interactions between the puppet and the (visible) puppeteer: the contact zone between them opens a space that questions the animality of humans, animal sensitivity and the inertia towards which humans and animals alike are bound. …”

Więzienie jako kara kryminalna. Kilka uwag o współczesnych problemach izolacji penitencjarnej by Tomasz Kalisz

“…Criticism of punishments based on isolation often boils down to low effectiveness, high economic and social costs and a number of negative consequences in the individual sphere, directly related to very deep interference in the sphere of human rights and freedoms. In practice, we are dealing with a clear paradox consisting in the creation of a repressive institution in its real character and a social rehabilitation institution in the space of expectations.…”

Aural Attunement is a form of performative writing used to write about nonhuman affective relations in Emma Bennett’s Slideshow Birdshow (2013) by Rebecca Collins

“…Here it is argued, through a critically-intimate writing practice, that contemporary performance and performative writing have much to offer to the ongoing debates within human geography in relation to this. The use of aural attunement to attend to micro-movements, vibrations, rhythm and tone indicate a more sensorial engagement thereby highlighting our affective relations with the nonhuman.…”

Traduire la non-binarité et l’altérité de genre en science-fiction by Pierre Gabriel Dumoulin, Emmanuelle Lescouet

“…This diversity is addressed in many ways : the neutrality of non-binary protagonists, robotic sentient beings, or extraterrestrial beings whose bodies and cultures have no conception of the human’s body binary system. The authors’ creativity tasks translators and editors to take a stand on how to render the strangeness of the source text (from neologisms to socio-cultural and political structures) in the target text, insofar as it leads to non-standardized propositions. …”
