It consists of production, transmission and hearing. Each and every stage involves unavoidable acoustic distortions due to age, gender and other environmental factors. In spite of having these deviations, the linguistic information from speech is easily understood by the listener as and when the communication occurs. This gets materialized, when external linguistic factors change, the internal acoustic models also get changed. The basic speech structures are invariant even though it has these variations. There comes the main reason of evolving speech processing and identifying the knowledge from it. Now days, the technologies are improving to process these speech or acoustics in different forms to extract information and to solve the real world problems. At this juncture, processing of general sound is analyzed along with human voices. Major attempts were done in the speech recognition, language identification, and speaker identification in both supervised as well as unsupervised way About the Speaker: =============== R Kishore Kumar is currently a Research Scholar and Senior Scientific Officer in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.

OA - The unfinished task
by Subbiah Arunachalam 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Friends: In a short interview I gave Amrit Dhir of Harvard Law School (recorded in 2011), I gave my views on open access. <https://cyber.harvard.edu/node/95198> I said then and I believe now that if OA takes roots in India, China and Brazil then it will be easy all the way. It is doing well in Brazil. It is up to us to adopt it wholeheartedly in India. There have been some efforts, but a lot more remains to be done and done in an organized way. I believe the LIS professionals in academia can play an important role in finishing the unfinished tasks. Best wishes.

OA in India - the unfinished tasks
by Subbiah Arunachalam 24 May '17

24 May '17

Friends: I was asked to speak to public librarians of Tamil Nadu about open access (in the context of public libraries) and I thought I would look at what I have been saying in the past twenty odd years. Looking back, I felt I owe a great debt to Richard Poynder who through a series of email interviews got me to articulate my views in a cogent fashion. Here are some of the interviews. http://poynder.blogspot.in/2006/05/why-india-needs-open-access.html http://poynder.blogspot.in/2006/05/open-access-science-in-which-no-one-is.h… http://poynder.blogspot.in/2010/05/letter-to-cgiar-in-support-of-open.html http://poynder.blogspot.in/2014/06/open-access-in-india-q-with-subbiah.html In one of them, he asked me about the unfinished tasks: RP: What still needs to be done, and by whom? SA: I will restrict my reply to India. The heads of funding agencies — almost all of them agencies of the Government of India — should mandate OA and insist that research institutions set up institutional repositories. Currently, I am in conversation with two of these agencies with regard to developing an OA policy for them, and I sense a positive outcome. The Indian parliament should enact a law requiring that research papers (and the associated data) resulting from public funding are made open. As I noted, Argentina already has such a law. India should introduce one too. Fellows of all academies should send memoranda supporting open access to the Ministers of Science and Technology, Human Resource Development, Health and Agriculture. I am in touch with the President of one of the academies to this effect. Citizens in India should form a Taxpayers Alliance for Open Access, and university students should form a nationwide “Students for open access” forum. For OA advocates specifically the priorities should be to: (1) convince the large number of researchers of the need to adopt OA, and of the need to retain certain rights in their work, rather than surrender them all by signing the copyright agreements that publishers put in front of them, (2) convince the directors of research laboratories and vice chancellors of universities to set up interoperable institutional repositories, (3) lobby parliamentarians to enact legislation requiring that all publicly funded research is made openly accessible, and of course, (4) join forces with like-minded people, and those who can bring knowledge and skills that we do not have. I am thinking, for instance, of experts in copyright law and Creative Commons — scholars like Lawrence Liang and activists like Sunil Abraham. We in India should be part of the international OA movement and learn from the experience of others. I realize much of what I what I wanted to happen have not happened. We all need to work to make them happen.

What is currently trending and emphasized upon is innovative practices adopted by libraries globally those attract and bind the users to the library. Some libraries talk about more and more technology adoption; RFID technology, mobile-apps for providing user services; reaching to the patrons at their doorstep, opening library kiosks i.e. to bring library services to the users. Others talk about innovative library facilities aspect that include being knowledge partner rather than a resources provider only; continually training and guiding the users in using library resources. Facilities also include developing facilities for differently abled sections of the users. Another aspect of innovative practices in libraries includes innovation in resources development and procurement. This aspect encompasses again technology aspect as well as order on demand or pay per view procurement and so on. Innovation in staff management and overall management of library and its operations are some other important dimensions. New technology and methods are adopted by various libraries for efficient and timely delivery of their services to users. Publishers are also using innovative technologies in producing and providing contents to the libraries. Rather than just books or journals, they are developing interactive and comprehensive learning modules where one can learn at his/her pace; can judge the performance or understanding levels and so on. Innovation in libraries also include introducing new services that directly appeal to users and as per their changing requirements. Innovation is not static and new innovative practices keep evolving as per change in users’ needs, technology and resources. Innovation is a continued journey. Keeping the above aspects in mind, Management Libraries Network in association with Jaipuria Institute of Management, Noida is organizing an International Conference on “Innovation in Library Technology, Services and Resources - Current Trends in Libraries Globally” on 15-16 September, 2017 at Jaipuria, Noida campus.
