This study discusses the detection of primary stress in continuous speech in Brazilian Portuguese (BP) using the West Point corpus (Morgan et al.2008), and compressed representations of the speech signal (MFCCs, modelled by HMM-GMMs), as implemented in the toolkit Kaldi (Povey et al.2011).An acoustic model of BP was trained using 5-fold cross valid

Increasing wealth inequality is a significant global issue that demands attention.While the distribution of wealth varies across countries based on their economic stages, there is a universal trend observed in the distribution function.Typically, regions with lower wealth values exhibit an exponential distribution, while regions with higher wealth

Abstract We consider Canopy thermal, trapped and chromo-natural inflation in light of the swampland criteria and the Trans-Planckian Censorship Conjecture (TCC).Since thermal inflation occurs at energies low compared to those of Grand Unification, it is consistent with the TCC, and it is also consistent with the refined swampland conditions.Trapped
