Analysis of the GSSP

This repository contains the analysis code for the Ghent Semi-spontaneous Speech Paradigm (GSSP). The GSSP is a picture description task that is used to capture (near) spontaneous speech in a controlled setting.

• The data is collected via a web application and can be found on kaggle
• The paradigm is described in detail in this preprint manuscript.
• The supplementals can be found here
• The notebooks README contains a thorough description of the speech parsing and analysis notebooks.

In a nutshell the r-scripts folder performs a thorough statistical analysis of the arousal & valence scores for the audio files. The outcome can be observed in a shiny html file. All speech data transformation and analysis is performed in the notebooks folder.

The utilized python packages are listed in the pyproject.toml file and the utilized R packages are listed in the scripts/r_packages.txt file.
