Tensor Tools for Taming the Curse Ghent University
One of the grand scientific challenges is to overcome the curse of dimensionality in the data and physical sciences. The central theme of this proposal is that we can overcome this exponential wall by adopting and developing low-rank tensor approximations of the relevant spaces. To achieve this, we will tackle central mathematical problems such as tensor factorizations, tensor completion and the construction of tropical tensor networks, delve ...

The Influence of Naming Patterns in Child-Directed Speech on Lexical Development KU Leuven
This project consists of two studies both related to link between intension (semantic features) and extension (naming). In the first study, the question will be addressed whether featural models can account for the gradual convergence to an adult naming pattern. In this context of lexical development I aim to explore how different feature sets can account for the developmental pattern of different subsets of objects: language specific versus ...

Neurophysiological relationship between sound intensity perception and hypophonic speech production in Parkinson's disease: unraveling the role of primary auditory perception, gating and attention. Ghent University
The aim of this proposal is to assess the role of primary auditory perception in hypophonic speech production in Parkinson’s disease (PD). 50 PD patients and 50 normal control subjects will be auditorily and neurophysiologically tested. The effect of gating and attention on speech perception and production will be studied.
