1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A computational model for the comprehension of single spoken words is presented that builds on an earlier model using discriminative learning. Real-valued features are extracted from the speech signal instead of discrete features. Vectors representing word meanings using one-hot encoding are replaced by real-valued semantic vectors. Instead of incremental learning with Rescorla-Wagner updating, we use linear discriminative learning, which captures incremental learning at the limit of experience. These new design features substantially improve prediction accuracy for unseen words, and provide enhanced temporal granularity, enabling the modelling of cohort-like effects. Visualisation with t-SNE shows that the acoustic form space captures phone-like properties. Trained on 9 h of audio from a broadcast news corpus, the model achieves recognition performance that approximates the lower bound of human accuracy in isolated word recognition tasks. LDL-AURIS thus provides a mathematically-simple yet powerful characterisation of the comprehension of single words as found in English spontaneous speech.
