In this paper we address the problem of unsupervised learning of discrete subword units. Our approach is based on Deep Autoencoders (AEs), whose encoding node values are thresholded to subsequently generate a symbolic, i.e., 1-of-K (with K = No. of subwords), representation of each speech frame. We experiment with two variants of the standard...

Group coordination passes through an efficient integration of multimodal sources of information. This study examines complex non-verbal communication by recording movement kinematics from conductors and two sections of violinists of an orchestra adapting to a perturbation affecting their normal pattern of sensorimotor communication (rotation of...
