Welcome!
In 2000, the Signal Processing and Speech Communication Laboratory (SPSC Lab) of Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) was founded as a research and education center in nonlinear signal processing and computational intelligence, algorithm engineering, as well as circuits & systems modeling and design. It covers applications in wireless communications, speech/audio communication, and telecommunications.

When We Sound Alike: Lexical and Acoustic Alignment in Casual Conversation

Conversational speech is marked by alignment, which is the tendency of speakers to become more similar to each other over time, in their word choice, their prosody, and the timing of their turns. While prior work has studied lexical and acoustic-prosodic alignment largely in isolation, it remains unclear how these two dimensions interact within a single conversational exchange.
