Arun Prakash Singh, who is a Marie Curie Researcher on the Hindi-BabNet project, will present his ongoing work on vowel-based acoustic measures in Adult-Directed Speech (ADS) and Infant-Directed Speech (IDS), the aim being to clarify how vowel characteristics across the two registers ADS and IDS and two languages (Norwegian and Danish) influence generalization.

Earthquake, landslide, and glacier instabilities are multi-scale processes that cannot be predicted. When a rock is subjected to large stress, it can develop fractures that grow and connect to form a network. This network of fractures spans the entire rock right before it fails catastrophically. Despite extensive research on rock damage, researchers are still far from being able to predict when a rock will fail. Here, I will show how to use a multi-view convolutional neural network model to identify characteristics of a failing rock. By training a neural network model on images of rock samples exposed to different levels of stress, one can predict how close a rock is to failure. The neural network model outperforms traditional estimates based on fracture density. More importantly, the model provides fundamental insight that may offer precursory information on impending material failure. For instance, according to the model, the angle of the fracture plane relative to the principal loading direction becomes a key factor contributing to failure.
