Beat perception is the process that allows us to make music together. Fleur Bouwer examined this human ability, by exploring the effects of attention, musical abilities, and accents on the perception of a regular beat in music.
On the occasion of the PhD defense on June 8, a workshop with presentations from international speakers on the topics of beat perception and prediction will take place on the afternoon of Tuesday, the 7th of June.
For more information on both the defense and the workshop, see http://www.fleurbouwer.nl/workshop.

The work done in the thesis research focuses on the improvement of hierarchical statistical machine translation. To do so it uses reordering labels, which are based on the hierarchical translation equivalence structure that is derived from word alignment.
Your attendance at the defense is much appreciated.
