This paper describes our systems for IJCNLP 2017 Shared Task on Customer Feedback Analysis. We experimented with simple neural architectures that gave competitive performance on certain tasks. This includes shallow CNN and Bi-Directional…
We present an emotion recognition system for nonverbal vocalizations (NVs) submitted to the ExVo Few-Shot track of the ICML Expressive Vocalizations Competition 2022. The proposed method uses self-supervised learning (SSL) models to extract…
Word2vec is a popular family of algorithms for unsupervised training of dense vector representations of words on large text corpuses. The resulting vectors have been shown to capture semantic relationships among their corresponding words,…
Word embeddings have been demonstrated to benefit NLP tasks impressively. Yet, there is room for improvement in the vector representations, because current word embeddings typically contain unnecessary information, i.e., noise. We propose…
The development of largely human-annotated benchmarks has driven the success of deep neural networks in various NLP tasks. To enhance the effectiveness of existing benchmarks, collecting new additional input-output pairs is often too costly…
We propose two methods of learning vector representations of words and phrases that each combine sentence context with structural features extracted from dependency trees. Using several variations of neural network classifier, we show that…
LPCNet is an efficient vocoder that combines linear prediction and deep neural network modules to keep the computational complexity low. In this work, we present two techniques to further reduce it's complexity, aiming for a low-cost LPCNet…
Classification of datasets into two or more distinct classes is an important machine learning task. Many methods are able to classify binary classification tasks with a very high accuracy on test data, but cannot provide any easily…
In this paper we propose a nonlinear vectorial prediction scheme based on a Multi Layer Perceptron. This system is applied to speech coding in an ADPCM backward scheme. In addition a procedure to obtain a vectorial quantizer is given, in…
We introduce an extension of the multi-instance learning problem where examples are organized as nested bags of instances (e.g., a document could be represented as a bag of sentences, which in turn are bags of words). This framework can be…
