📄 Papers

The most cited first (OpenAlex and our library).

1. Assessing the Prosody of Non-Native Speakers of English: Measures and Feature Sets (2016 · 14 citations)
   The paper addresses automatic rating of how natural the prosody (melody and rhythm) of non-native English speech sounds.
2. Discovering and Causally Validating Emotion-Sensitive Neurons in Large Audio-Language Models (2026 · 1 citation)
   The paper asks whether large audio-language models (LALMs) store emotion information in small, identifiable groups of neurons, or whether it is spread diffusely across the network.
