Vocalization Analysis

Capturing and interpreting street vendor sounds in Chinatown, Singapore.

An outdoor urban scene features people standing by a street vendor cart. The cart is loaded with various snacks, including wrapped items and a container filled with round objects. Buildings line the street, which is bustling with activity in the background. The atmosphere is hazy with a warm glow, suggesting a busy, yet relaxed, day.

Cultural Sound Patterns

This project focuses on analyzing sales calls to uncover cultural insights and contextual variations in Singapore's vibrant Chinatown market, enhancing understanding of local vendor communication and community dynamics.

A silhouette of a person, possibly a street vendor, is seen next to a steam-emitting cooking apparatus in a dimly lit urban environment. The background features illuminated rectangular line patterns, suggesting city lights or a decorative installation. The mood is intimate and atmospheric, with hints of warmth from the red glove worn by the vendor.

Dataset Creation

We aim to create a labeled dataset of street vendor call-outs, identifying tone patterns and semantic intent to better understand the cultural significance of these unique vocalizations in the local market.

A street vendor stands inside a small red cart, under a translucent plastic cover, selling food items. The background features a large ferry boat docked on a wet stone pavement, with a person walking nearby. The scene is set against an overcast sky, contributing to a muted and somber atmosphere. A historical tower is visible in the distant background.
