We used the world's largest corpus of spoken poetry from our partner lyrikline. We identified nine rhythmical patterns within a spectrum raging from a more fluent to a more disfluent poetic style. The text data analyzed by a statistical parser. Prosodic features of rhythmical patterns are identified by using the parser information. For the classification of rhythmical patterns, we used a neural networks-based approach which use text, audio, and pause information between poetic lines as features. Different combinations of features as well as the integration of feature engineering in the neural networks-based approach are tested. We compared the performance of both approaches (feature-based and neural network-based) using combinations of different features. The results show - by using the weighted average of f-measure for the evaluation - that the neural networks-based approach performed much better in classification of rhythmical patterns. The important improvement of the classification results lies in the use of the audio information. The integration of feature engineering in the neural networks-based approach yielded a very small result improvement.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BaumannMeyerSickendiek, author = {Baumann, Timo and Meyer-Sickendiek, Burkhard}, title = {Deep Learning meets Post-modern Poetry}, series = {TwinTalks 2020: Understanding and Facilitating Collaboration in Digital Humanities 2020, proceedings of the Twin Talks 2 and 3 workshops at DHN 2020 and DH 2020, Ottawa Canada and Riga Latvia, July 23 and October 20, 2020}, booktitle = {TwinTalks 2020: Understanding and Facilitating Collaboration in Digital Humanities 2020, proceedings of the Twin Talks 2 and 3 workshops at DHN 2020 and DH 2020, Ottawa Canada and Riga Latvia, July 23 and October 20, 2020}, editor = {Krauwer, Steven and Fišer, Darja}, publisher = {RWTH Aachen}, issn = {1613-0073}, pages = {30 -- 36}, abstract = {We summarize our project Rhythmicalizer in which we analyze a corpus of post-modern poetry in a combination of qualitative hermeneutical and computational methods, as we have run the project over the course of the past three years (and preparing it for some time before that).

We used the data from lyrikline, which contain both the written as well as the spoken form of poems as read by the original author. We explored two approaches for the identification of concrete poetry. The first is based on the definition of concrete poetry in literary theory by the extraction of various types of features derived from a parser, such as verb, noun, comma, sentence ending, conjunction, and asemantic material. The second is a neural network-based approach, which is theoretically less informed by human insight, as it does not have access to features established by scholars. This approach used the following inputs: textual information and the spoken recitation of poetic lines as well as information about pauses between lines. The results based on the neural network are more accurate than the feature-based approach.

Although likability is inherently subjective and individual preferences differ, generalizations are useful and there is often a broad intersubjective consensus about whether one speaker is more likeable than another. We present a methodology to efficiently create a likability ranking for many speakers from crowdsourced pairwise likability ratings which focuses manual rating effort on pairs of similar quality using an active sampling technique. Using this methodology, we collected pairwise likability ratings for many speakers (>220) from many raters (>160). We analyze listener preferences by correlating the resulting ranking with various acoustic and prosodic features.

Of course, synchrony constraints only apply to the translation when the speaker's lips are visible on screen. Therefore, deciding whether to apply synchrony constraints requires an automatic method for detecting whether an actor's lips are visible on screen for a given stretch of speech or not.

In this paper, we introduce a framework for the robust reconstruction of convolutional image features directly from CT data without the need of computing a reconstructed image first. Within our framework, we use non-linear variational regularization methods that can be adapted to a variety of feature reconstruction tasks and to several limited data situations. The proposed variational regularization method minimizes an energy functional being the sum of a feature dependent datafitting term and an additional penalty accounting for specific properties of the features.
