Uh, um and nationality and speech
recognition
01/10/2004 09:38 AM

"Signposting" -- involuntarily uttering little interstitial syllables between words, like "um" and "uh" -- varies widely from country to country, and makes life difficult for speech-recognition software.

The French say something that sounds like euh, and Hebrew speakers say ehhh. Serbs and Croats say ovay, and the Turks say mmmmm. The Japanese say eto (eh-to) and ano (ah-no), the Spanish este, and Mandarin speakers neige (NEH-guh) and jiege (JEH-guh). In Dutch and German you can say uh, um, mmm. In Swedish it's eh, ah, aah, m, mm, hmm, ooh, a and oh; in Norwegian, e, eh, m and hm.

These interruptions, it turns out, plague machines more than people -- speech-recognition systems in particular -- so researchers have increasingly been turning their attention to uh and um (among other so-called disfluencies).

Email Problems Differ By Nationality


Email Problems Differ By Nationality 09/16/2004 01:44 AM
Email getting you down? A new study shows that misuses of email can ha rm relationships and slow down business -- but it varies by nationality. One of the biggest complaints: slow replies to email. This is always a tough one. I once spent a week trying to reply to important emails as soon as I got them, but I found that process way too inefficient. More recently, I tend to bunch up a large number of emails and reply to them all at once -- though, often this means a delay in replying or (occasionally) forgetting to reply completely. Other complaints concern the style of the email. Apparently the French get very upset if you are too wordy or "sloppy" in your email grammar. The Italians disagree and are big fans of creative spelling and slow replies. The study claims that the Brits lie about receiving email in the first place -- though, it's not explained why. Still, they get worried when they build up a big backlog of email. The Germans, apparently, are the most likely to misunderstand the tone of an email and get upset at the misinterpretation -- which fits with the study we had last month saying many emailers had problems due to misunderstood humor in the text of their emails. All in all, though, it's probably pretty difficult to stereotype how an entire nation deals with email.

Provisioning gets its recognition


Provisioning gets its recognition 01/16/2004 11:02 AM
In the last issue, when I mentioned that provisioning is now only a small part of the entire identity management spectrum and needs to be integrated with the rest and be part of vendor offerings, it was not with any specific event in mind. I'd written those words before Christmas, so I wasn't influenced by the Dec. 30 announcement that Netegrity was acquiring Business Layers, arguably the last of the "pure play" provisioning companies. The acquisition follows Sun's purchase of Waveset and the previous acquisition of Access360 by IBM's Tivoli division.

Music Recognition 01/07/2004 04:44 PM

Shazam is offering an interesting paid service to cell phone users in the UK that will recognize songs over the phone, and then send a text message with the track details back to them. Users can then optionally review and buy the tracks later from their Web site.

"Now you can know the name of any track, anywhere in the UK. Just hit 2580 on your mobile phone, aim it at any loud music for 30 seconds and we'll txt you back the name of the track and artist."

Amazing.

The Science of Word Recognition


The Science of Word Recognition 08/20/2004 05:55 PM
Evidence from the last 20 years of work in cognitive psychology indicates that we use the letters within a word to recognize a word. Many typographers and other text enthusiasts I’ve met insist that words are recognized by the outline made around the word shape. Some have used the term bouma as a synonym for word shape, though I was unfamiliar with the term. The term bouma appears in Paul Saenger’s 1997 book Space Between Words: The Origins of Silent Reading. There I learned to my chagrin that we recognize words from their word shape and that “Modern psychologists call this image the ‘Bouma shape.’â€
