While I didn’t get the opportunity to pursue my endeavors in speech processing just yet, I still gathered a bunch of resources over the course of my degree, which I thought I’d share, as speech processing tools can be a little niche. In this tutorial, we’ll see how to use the openSMILE toolkit for feature extraction, and later plot formants. :)

Hey there! I’m Léna (she/her), chronically online NLP enthusiast. You’ve just landed on my little corner of the internet, where I’ll be sharing my notes, tutorials on AI, NLP, pedagogy, and everything in between. My aim with this blog is to make it as accessible as possible: whether you’re familiar with natural language processing or starting your coding journey, you’re welcome to wander around!

Tiny list of what you can expect to find here:

• Tutorials: I’ve been working on-and-off on a feature-extraction with openSMILE tutorial for the past few months… Fingers crossed, soon its time will come.
• Masterlist of Resources: collections of articles, blogs, videos and books I’ve gathered over the past three years to help others figure things out in the wide NLP ecosystem.
• Essays & Notes: because I overthink a lot, I tend to, you’ve guessed it, write (both in english and in french). Working on a little piece on intimate chatbot use right now, Feel free to message me to discuss this!!! I also would like to share my notes on pedagogy.

I’m so excited to share what I’ve been working on—and I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas along the way! Stay tuned for the upcoming openSMILE tutorial, and thanks for stopping by! Feel free to get in touch anytime (∩｡･ｏ･｡)っ.ﾟ☆｡’`
