HOME ABOUT ME MENTOR PROJECT JOURNAL REPORT

Project Description

I am working on a project studying entrainment - the phenomenon of people becoming similar to each other in conversation. We are working with recordings of Supreme Court sessions, and plan to analyze the conversation between the justices and attorneys. However, before we can run automatic analyses on the data, I am working on identifying noisy areas in the data that we have to excise. Once the data is cleaned up, we will be able to accurately analyze the data, and hopefully get some interesting results!
