Various Link Artists, Vol. 1/11
last weeks interesting finds. speech/audio software, conferences on empirical evaluation of programming languages, fast primitive-type collections for Java and a C++ implementation of "active segmentation with fixation".
I looked a bit at speech stuff over the weekend. The rest is as usual.
Speech Stuff
- Speech recognition on the web using WAMI
- Signal Processing Using C++ for DSP simulation in C++ -- looks a bit dated, but might still come in handy sometime.
- Voce, a nice interface for Sphinx and FreeTTS which is really easy to use (but also very limited).
- Speech Signal Processing Toolkit (SPTK) lots if basic building blocks for speech recognition -- MFCCs, GMMs, etc. Didn't see Viterbi, though. VoxForge, an awesome projects that aims to collection freely usable voice training data. Downloads for various speech recognition engines (but not esmeralda, we're too small apparently)
Software Engineering
- In the "about time someone did this" category, I came across two interesting conference series that study programming language usability empirically.
- ICPC: International Conference on Program Comprehension is older and somewhat more narrow.
- PLATEAU which somehow stands for "Evaluation and Usability of Programming Languages and Tools" is a bit wider in scope.
- Tips on starting with Scala (via Mikio L Braun)
Research Tools / Libs
- Two high-performance Java collection libraries based on primitive types:
- C++ implementation of Active Semgentation with Fixation (see the corresponding paper)
