Speech Recognition Enhancement and Compression Perception in Russian Translation Teaching Cooperative System Application

Abstract In the digital age, characterized by the ubiquity of big data and artificial intelligence, Russian translation education is poised for transformative change. This study explores the integration of advanced speech recognition and compressed perception technologies into Russian translation instruction, highlighting their potential to elevate educational quality and translator training. Utilizing the Spring Boot framework, we developed a comprehensive Russian translation teaching system, incorporating a Russian-Chinese speech translation model that leverages the RNN Transducer model and an N-gram language model, alongside compressed perception theory for efficient speech signal processing. Our findings reveal a notable enhancement in Russian speech recognition accuracy and processing speed, with a 4.73% improvement in endto-end speech detection accuracy and a significant reduction in word error rate, outperforming CTC and CTC-LM models by 14.79% to 24.85%. Furthermore, speech quality and intelligibility scores experienced marked improvements. The application of speech recognition enhancement and compressed perception technologies emerges as a vital strategy for enriching Russian translation pedagogy and fostering the development of proficient translators.

Whitehead’s Resistance to Scepticism in Relation to Santayana

Without ever becoming central, the refutation of scepticism constitutes one of the pervading themes of Whitehead's philosophy of perception. His way of resisting scepticism about the external world was the doctrine of the two pure modes of perception, presentational immediacy and causal efficacy, and of the mixt mode of symbolic reference. In the present study, I try to evaluate Whitehead's theory of perception as a rampart against scepticism. First, I expose, in relevant outline, Whitehead’s theory of perception as it first appears in S, with the necessary refinements adduced in PR, and I find it wanting. Next, I show that Whitehead’s doctrine of subjective forms works as a patch for the theory, and allows it to counter some varieties of scepticism.

Diagrams as centerpiece for an enactivist epistemology

In the present work I will examine two semiotic contributions, Legg (2021) and Caravà (2019) respectively, that explore the possible connection between semiotics and enactivism. Both attempt to offer a semiotic interpretation of the enactivist theory of perception and cognition, with the aim of showing how semiotics can contribute to the debate on mental representations. I will argue that Legg’s proposal, based on the Peircean concept of the dicisign, assigns to basic cognition conditions that are not necessary, from the point of view of enactivism. Caravà’s, in turn, assigns non-sufficient conditions. I will argue that if we want to semiotically interpret the enactivist framework the concept that describes necessary and sufficient conditions is that of the diagram.

Consideration of the problem of motion cueing along angular degrees of freedom on flight simulators

The object of research is motion cueing along angular degrees of freedom on flight simulators of non-maneuvering aircraft. One of the most problematic places is lack of statement and effective solution of the problem to ensure high-quality motion cues along angular degrees of freedom on flight simulators, which would correspond to motion cues along angular degrees of freedom in real flight with the same control actions. In the course of the research, on the basis of the peculiarities of human movement perception, a set of characteristic attributes of perception of motion cues is determined: character, direction, duration, intensity and time of motion perception (according to Gibson’s perception theory). Based on the system approach principles, the mathematical formulation of the solution to the problem of motion cueing along angular degrees of freedom on flight simulators of non-maneuvering aircraft is used. Such approach made it possible, taking into account the existing constructive resource of flight simulator motion system, to bring as close as possible motion cueing along angular degrees of freedom on flight simulators of non-maneuvering aircraft to motion cues along angular degrees of freedom in real flight with the same control actions. Due to this the character and direction of motion cues fully correspond to the real motion cues, the difference between the perception time of motion cues on airplane and simulator is minimal and meets the current requirements. The duration and intensity of the motion cue perception on simulator are proportional duration and intensity of motion cue perception on airplane. Such approach significantly improves the quality of training and retraining of pilots on flight simulators. Implementation of the developed problem formulation on aircraft simulators, in particular on An-74TK-200, showed its high efficiency. In the future, the proposed approach can be used on flight simulators of aircraft developed in Ukraine and modernization of operated flight simulators.

Gender stereotypes and social perception of vocal confidence is mitigated by salience of socio-indexical cues to gender.

Socio-indexical cues to gender and vocal affect often interact and sometimes lead listeners to make differential judgements of affective intent based on the gender of the speaker. Previous research suggests that rising intonation is a common cue that both women and men produce to communicate lack of confidence, but listeners are more sensitive to this cue when it is produced by women. Some speech perception theories assume that listeners will track conditional statistics of speech and language cues (e.g., frequency of the socio-indexical cues to gender and affect) in their listening and communication environments during speech perception. It is currently less clear if these conditional statistics will impact listener ratings when context varies (e.g., number of talkers). To test this, we presented listeners with vocal utterances from one female and one male-pitched voice (single talker condition) or many female/male-pitched voices (4 female voices; 4 female voices pitch-shifted to a male range) to examine how they impacted perceptions of talker confidence. Results indicated that when one voice was evaluated, listeners defaulted to the gender stereotype that the female voice using rising intonation (a cue to lack of confidence) was less confident than the male-pitched voice (using the same cue). However, in the multi-talker condition, this effect went away and listeners equally rated the confidence of the female and male-pitched voices. Findings support dual process theories of information processing, such that listeners may rely on heuristics when speech perception is devoid of context, but when there are no differentiating qualities across talkers (regardless of gender), listeners may be ideal adapters who focus on only the relevant cues.

The Receptive Theory: A New Theory of Emotions

Cognitive Theories of emotions have enjoyed great popularity in recent times. Allegedly, the so-called Perceptual Theory constitutes the most attractive version of this approach. However, the Perceptual Theory has come under increasing pressure. There are at least two ways to deal with the barrage of objections, which have been mounted against the Perceptual Theory. One is to argue that the objections work only if one assumes an overly narrow conception of what perception consists in. On a better and more liberal understanding of perception, the objections lose their force. The other is to stress that the differences between emotions and sensory perceptions can be explained by focusing on a new analogy. As I will argue, emotions have interesting similarities with magnitude representations, such as the representation of distance. Such representations are plausibly thought to be analog and non-conceptual, but by contrast to sensory perceptions, such as colour perceptions, they do not lie at the sensory periphery. This new analogy makes room for a novel and attractive theory of emotions, the Receptive Theory, which allows for a positive and epistemologically fruitful characterization of emotions.

Perceiving IT affordances through the lens of multi-identity goals in rural governance information system

PurposeThis research aims to investigate the impact of the collaborative governance mechanism on the implementation of rural governance information systems in developing countries. By integrating institutional logic theory, affordance theory and social identity theory, the authors propose modeling grassroots officials' affordance perception process and exploring the importance of multi-identities’ information technology (IT) goals in affordance perception.Design/methodology/approachThrough an exploratory case study, the authors identified three affordances of rural governance information systems and investigated the mechanisms influencing the perception of these affordances among grassroots officials. Next, the authors established a research model and collected 490 valid questionnaires from grassroots officials in China and analyzed the data using structural equation modeling (SEM).FindingsThe authors' study challenges previous assumptions by integrating institutional logic, affordance and social identity theories. The authors establish a perceived affordance path for rural governance information systems, recognize substitute effects among technological affordances and extend the theory to explain social factors influencing IT perception. The authors' findings suggest providing technical training for grassroots officials to enhance IT capabilities, and governments should prioritize essential functionalities in rural governance information systems to optimize resources. Training on collaborative governance mechanisms can improve IT affordance perception, enhancing digital platform utilization in governance processes.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was conducted mainly in China, and therefore, the findings may not be universal to other developing countries. Researchers are therefore encouraged to test the proposal in locations with different rural cultures.Practical implicationsThe paper includes implications for the development of IT perception in rural governance, the development of affordance perception theory and studying the relationship between IT goals and affordance perception.Originality/valueOverall, this paper addresses the need to understand how grassroots officials perceive IT affordances in rural governance and study the relationship between multi-identities’ goals and affordance perception.

The effect of climate change on firms’ debt financing costs: Evidence from China

This paper matched the data for all non-financial listed firms in China from 1990 to 2017 with weather data and used temperature and precipitation to represent climate change. Using daily temperature and daily precipitation data, we constructed temperature bins and precipitation bins. This study presents a potential first empirical analysis that applies the risk perception theory to comprehensively examine the impacts of daily temperature and daily precipitation on firms' debt financing costs. Compared to a day with a suitable temperature, a day with temperatures above 30 °C increases firms' debt financing costs by 0.2411%. Compared to a sunny day, a day with torrential rain increases firms' financing costs by 0.2697%. Approximately $122.13 million and $20.49 million in extra costs were incurred across all firms in 2017. We conducted a series of heterogeneity tests. We found that the negative impacts of climate change on debt financing costs are greater for firms that investor considers more vulnerable. Finally, we found two possible mechanisms. First, from the firm's subjective initiative perspective, firms that respond proactively during seasons of high temperatures and heavy rains can reduce the negative impacts. Second, adverse weather caused by climate change may also increase firms' debt financing costs by blocking travel. These results enrich the literature on firms' debt financing costs and contribute to the understanding of climate change's impact on firms.

Poster Session I: Criterion effects in maximum likelihood difference scaling: Similar is not always the opposite of different.

Maximum Likelihood Difference Scaling (MLDS) is an efficient method of estimating perceptual representations of suprathreshold physical quantities (Maloney & Yang, 2003), such as luminance contrast. In MLDS, observers can be instructed to judge which of two stimulus pairs are more similar to one another, or which of the two pairs are more different from one another. If the same physical attributes are used for both the similar and dissimilar tasks, the two criteria should produce the same perceptual scales. We estimated perceptual scales for suprathreshold achromatic square patches. Increments and decrements on the mid-gray background were estimated separately. Observers judged which pair of stimuli were more similar in half of the sessions, and more different in the other half sessions. For most observers, the two tasks produced the same perceptual scales: a decelerating curve for increment contrasts and a cubic curve for decremental contrasts (cf. Whittle, 1992). These scales predicted forced-choice contrast discrimination thresholds for both increments and decrements. However, for a subset of observers, the 'more different' judgments produced scales that accelerated with contrast for both increments and decrements; these scale shapes do not predict their discrimination thresholds. Our results suggest that, even with these simple stimuli, observers in an MLDS experiment may attend to different aspects of the stimulus depending on the assigned task.

A Gestalt account of human behavior is supported by evidence from switching between single and dual actions

The question of how behavior is represented in the mind lies at the core of psychology as the science of mind and behavior. While a long-standing research tradition has established two opposing fundamental views of perceptual representation, Structuralism and Gestalt psychology, we test both accounts with respect to action representation: Are multiple actions (characterizing human behavior in general) represented as the sum of their component actions (Structuralist view) or holistically (Gestalt view)? Using a single-/dual-response switch paradigm, we analyzed switches between dual ([A + B]) and single ([A], [B]) responses across different effector systems and revealed comparable performance in partial repetitions and full switches of behavioral requirements (e.g., in [A + B] → [A] vs. [B] → [A], or [A] → [A + B] vs. [B] → [A + B]), but only when the presence of dimensional overlap between responses allows for Gestalt formation. This evidence for a Gestalt view of behavior in our paradigm challenges some fundamental assumptions in current (tacitly Structuralist) action control theories (in particular the idea that all actions are represented compositionally with reference to their components), provides a novel explanatory angle for understanding complex, highly synchronized human behavior (e.g., dance), and delimitates the degree to which complex behavior can be analyzed in terms of its basic components.

STUDI MAKNA LOGO INDONESIA HALAL INDUSTRY AWARDS (IHYA) TERHADAP PERSEPSI PELAKU INDUSTRI KOTA PADANG PANJANG

Reasearch for analyze meaning of Indonesia Halal Industry Awards (IHYA) logo using the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce and Roland Barthes, to see how the semiotic elements in the logo represent halal industry, on the views of halal industry players in Padang Panjang city. IHYA logo carries halal value by redefining the meaning. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods, using visual perception theory, Peirce's and Barthes’ semiotics. With visuals that redefine the meaning of halal, it produces the perception of halal industry players in the city of Padang Panjang which causes prejudice against the IHYA logo, because of the lingering old ethics about the iconic halal identity. So the analytical approach of Peirce's semiotic theory that reveals signs, objects, interpretants with further meanings of Barthes' semiotic theory in the meaning of the level as an effort to clarify the true meaning of the IHYA logo.

FHUSP-NET: A Multi-task model for fetal heart ultrasound standard plane recognition and key anatomical structures detection

In prenatal ultrasound screening, rapid and accurate recognition of the fetal heart ultrasound standard planes(FHUSPs) can more objectively predict fetal heart growth. However, the small size and movement of the fetal heart make this process more difficult. Therefore, we design a deep learning-based FHUSP recognition network (FHUSP-NET), which can automatically recognize the five FHUSPs and detect tiny key anatomical structures at the same time. 3360 ultrasound images of five FHUSPs from 1300 mid-pregnancy pregnant women are included in this study. 10 fetal heart key anatomical structures are manually annotated by experts. We apply spatial pyramid pooling with a fully connected spatial pyramid convolution module to capture information about targets and scenes of different sizes as well as improve the perceptual ability and feature representation of the model. Additionally, we adopt the squeeze-and-excitation networks to improve the sensitivity of the model to the channel features. We also introduce a new loss function, the efficient IOU loss, which makes the model effective for optimizing similarity. The results demonstrate the superiority of FHUSP-NET in detecting fetal heart key anatomical structures and recognizing FHUSPs. In the detection task, the value of mAP@0.5, precision, and recall are 0.955, 0.958, and 0.931, respectively, while the accuracy reaches 0.964 in the recognition task. Furthermore, it takes only 13.6 ms to detect and recognize one FHUSP image. This method helps to improve ultrasonographers' quality control of the fetal heart ultrasound standard plane and aids in the identification of fetal heart structures in a less experienced group of physicians.

Recognizing Instantaneous Group Patterns in Vessel Trajectory Data: A Snapshot Perspective

Recognizing vessel navigation patterns plays a vital role in understanding maritime traffic behaviors, managing and planning vessel activities, spotting outliers, and predicting traffic. However, the growth in trajectory data and the complexity of maritime traffic in recent years presents formidable challenges to this endeavor. Existing approaches predominantly adopt a ‘trajectory perspective’, where the instantaneous behaviors of vessel groups (e.g., the homing of fishing vessels) that occurred at certain times are concealed in the massive trajectories. To bridge this gap and to reveal collective patterns and behaviors, we look at vessel patterns and their dynamics at only individual points in time (snapshots). In particular, we propose a recognition framework from the snapshot perspective, mixing ingredients from group dynamics, computational geometry, graph theory, and visual perception theory. This framework encompasses algorithms for detecting basic types of patterns (e.g., collinear, curvilinear, and flow) and strategies to combine the results. Case studies were carried out using vessel trajectory (AIS) data around the Suez Canal and other areas. We show that the proposed methodology outperformed DBSCAN and clustering by measuring local direction centrality (CDC) in recognizing fine-grained vessel groups that exhibit more cohesive behaviors. Our results find interesting collective behaviors such as convoy, turning, avoidance, mooring (in open water), and berthing (in the dock), and also reveal abnormal behaviors. Such results can be used to better monitor, manage, understand, and predict maritime traffic and/or conditions.
