Theoreticians have studied distributed algorithms in the radio network model for close to three decades. A significant fraction of this work focuses on lower bounds for basic communication problems such as wake-up (symmetry breaking among…
Content-based video retrieval is one of the most challenging tasks in surveillance systems. In this study, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model is used to annotate surveillance videos in an unsupervised manner. In scene…
Associating sound and its producer in complex audiovisual scene is a challenging task, especially when we are lack of annotated training data. In this paper, we present a flexible audiovisual model that introduces a soft-clustering module…
This paper presents a novel method for extracting acoustic features that characterise the background environment in audio recordings. These features are based on the output of an alignment that fits multiple parallel background--based…
A key function of auditory cognition is the association of characteristic sounds with their corresponding semantics over time. Humans attempting to discriminate between fine-grained audio categories, often replay the same discriminative…
Despite surveillance systems are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in our living environment, automated surveillance, currently based on video sensory modality and machine intelligence, lacks most of the time the robustness and reliability…
Listening to the audio of TV broadcast signals can be challenging for hearing-impaired as well as normal-hearing listeners, especially when background sounds are prominent or too loud compared to the speech signal. This can result in a…
The task of partially spoofed audio localization aims to accurately determine audio authenticity at a frame level. Although some works have achieved encouraging results, utilizing boundary information within a single model remains an…
Detecting auditory attention based on brain signals enables many everyday applications, and serves as part of the solution to the cocktail party effect in speech processing. Several studies leverage the correlation between brain signals and…
Cough is a protective reflex conveying information on the state of the respiratory system. Cough assessment has been limited so far to subjective measurement tools or uncomfortable (i.e., non-wearable) cough monitors. This limits the…
Videos are more well-organized curated data sources for visual concept learning than images. Unlike the 2-dimensional images which only involve the spatial information, the additional temporal dimension bridges and synchronizes multiple…
Currently available benchmarks for few-shot learning (machine learning with few training examples) are limited in the domains they cover, primarily focusing on image classification. This work aims to alleviate this reliance on image-based…
Barriers to accessing mental health assessments including cost and stigma continues to be an impediment in mental health diagnosis and treatment. Machine learning approaches based on speech samples could help in this direction. In this…
Spoken content, such as online videos and podcasts, often spans multiple topics, which makes automatic topic segmentation essential for user navigation and downstream applications. However, current methods do not fully leverage acoustic…
A crucial aspect for selecting optimal areas for commercial advertising is the probability with which that publicity will be seen. This paper presents a method based on top-view camera measurement, where the probability of viewing is…
Audio tagging is the task of predicting the presence or absence of sound classes within an audio clip. Previous work in audio tagging focused on relatively small datasets limited to recognising a small number of sound classes. We…
The problem of identifying voice commands has always been a challenge due to the presence of noise and variability in speed, pitch, etc. We will compare the efficacies of several neural network architectures for the speech recognition…
The accelerating penetration of physical environments by objects with information processing and wireless communication capabilities requires approaches to find potential communication partners and discover services. In the present work, we…
In this paper, we propose an enhanced audio-visual deep detection method. Recent methods in audio-visual deepfake detection mostly assess the synchronization between audio and visual features. Although they have shown promising results,…
Efficient face detection is critical to provide natural human-robot interactions. However, computer vision tends to involve a large computational load due to the amount of data (i.e. pixels) that needs to be processed in a short amount of…
