1. 1. A Comparative Analysis of Whisper and VoxRex on Swedish Speech Data

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Max Fredriksson; Elise Ramsay Veljanovska; [2024]
   Keywords : ASR; Automatic Speech Recognition; Swedish Speech Recognition; Speech Recognition Models; Speech-to-Text; Whisper; VoxRex; Wav2Vec; Model Comparison; Transformer Models; Neural Networks; Machine Learning; WER; Word Error Rate; Transcription;

   Abstract : With the constant development of more advanced speech recognition models, the need to determine which models are better in specific areas and for specific purposes becomes increasingly crucial. Even more so for low-resource languages such as Swedish, dependent on the progress of models for the large international languages. READ MORE

3. 2. A quantitative study of Swedish high school L2 learners' receptive knowledge of English lexical collocations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Engelska

   Author : Louise Frifelt; [2024]
   Keywords : Collocations; Multi-word units; Formulaic language; Second language acquisition; Languages and Literatures;

   Abstract : This paper investigates receptive knowledge of English lexical collocations among Swedish high school students. The study tests the claim that L2 (second language) learners of English have a low level of collocational competence and tend to recognise high-frequent collocations more than low-frequent since the former have been encountered more.

4. 3. Trilingual spoken word recognition : Interlingual competition from one or two non-target languages in a sentence context

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Centrum för tvåspråkighetsforskning

   Author : Yulia Kashevarova; [2023]
   Keywords : trilingual speech processing; cross-linguistic competition; sentence context; BLINCS; BIA ;

   Abstract : Persistent non-target language co-activation in spoken and visual language comprehension has been found both at the word-level and at the level of a sentence, although in the latter case, sentence bias has been observed to modulate the co-activation which can create lexical competition. In the case of trilingual speakers, both non-target languages may potentially compete with the third language (L3). READ MORE

5. 4. Word-form recognition in 6-month-olds? Using event-related potentials to study the influence of infant-directed speech

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik

   Author : Bente Sand Aronsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Word-form recognition; event-related potentials; infant-directed speech; language acquisition; Igenkänning av ordformer; event-relaterade potentialer; barnriktat tal; språkinlärning;

   Abstract : By 4.5 months infants listen longer to their names compared to matched foils, which is the earliest empirically demonstrated sign of word-form recognition. This ability develops gradually in the first year of life and becomes increasingly advanced. READ MORE

6. 5. Automatic Voice Trading Surveillance : Achieving Speech and Named Entity Recognition in Voice Trade Calls Using Language Model Interpolation and Named Entity Abstraction

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen Vi3

   Author : Martin Sundberg; Mikael Ohlsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Automatic Speech Recognition; Natural Language Model; Named Entity Recognition; Voice Trading; Market Surveillance.;

   Abstract : This master thesis explores the effectiveness of interpolating a larger generic speech recognition model with smaller domain-specific models to enable transcription of domain-specific conversations. The study uses a corpus within the financial domain collected from the web and processed by abstracting named entities such as financial instruments, numbers, as well as names of people and companies.
