Based on recent trends in artificial intelligence and IoT research. The cooperative potential of integrating the Internet of Things (IoT) and Multimodal Language Models (MLLMs) is presented in this survey paper for future 6G systems. It…
Audio has become an increasingly crucial biometric modality due to its ability to provide an intuitive way for humans to interact with machines. It is currently being used for a range of applications, including person authentication to…
Disentangling uncorrelated information in speech utterances is a crucial research topic within speech community. Different speech-related tasks focus on extracting distinct speech representations while minimizing the affects of other…
Many companies, including Google, Amazon, and Apple, offer voice assistants as a convenient solution for answering general voice queries and accessing their services. These voice assistants have gained popularity and can be easily accessed…
The rapid advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) have promoted a revolution in communication technology and offered various customer services. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques have been exploited to facilitate IoT operations and…
Existing audio-only hearing-aids are known to perform poorly in noisy situations where overwhelming noise is present. Next-generation audio-visual (lip-reading driven) hearing-aids stand as a major enabler to realise more intelligible…
Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing together give us the ability to sense, collect, process, and analyse data so we can use them to better understand behaviours, habits, preferences and life patterns of users and lead them to…
Privacy preservation and the protection of speech data is in high demand, not least as a result of recent regulation, e.g. the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the EU. While there has been a period with which to prepare for its…
This paper presents a comprehensive study on low-complexity waveform, modulation and coding (WMC) designs for the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Ambient Internet of Things (A-IoT). A-IoT is a low-cost, low-power IoT system…
The Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly becoming an integral part of our life and also multiple industries. We expect to see the number of IoT connected devices explosively grows and will reach hundreds of billions during the next few…
As the ratification of 5G New Radio technology is being completed, enabling network architectures are expected to undertake a matching effort. Conventional cloud and edge computing paradigms may thus become insufficient in supporting the…
In the real time processing, a new emerging technology where the need of connecting smart devices with cloud through Internet has raised. IoT devices processed information is to be stored and accessed anywhere needed with a support of…
The use of IoT in society is perhaps already ubiquitous, with a vast attack surface offering multiple opportunities for malicious actors. This short paper first presents an introduction to IoT and its security issues, including an overview…
Audio Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) is the hiding of gaps in audio streams caused by data transmission failures in packet switched networks. This is a common problem, and of increasing importance as end-to-end VoIP telephony and…
The current computer programmings encapsulate attributes and behaviours into objects, but miss the mechanism to support the connection among objects. A programming paradigm is presented to connect all objects. The connection supports…
With the growing availability of smart devices and cloud services, personal speech assistance systems are increasingly used on a daily basis. Most devices redirect the voice recordings to a central server, which uses them for upgrading the…
The proliferation of IoT devices in shared, multi-vendor environments like the modern aircraft cabin creates a fundamental conflict between the promise of data collaboration and the risks to passenger privacy, vendor intellectual property…
In the age of personal voice assistants, the question of privacy arises. These digital companions often lack memory of past interactions, while relying heavily on the internet for speech processing, raising privacy concerns. Modern…
In recent years, video data has dominated internet traffic and becomes one of the major data formats. With the emerging 5G and internet of things (IoT) technologies, more and more videos are generated by edge devices, sent across networks,…
The new industrial settings are characterized by the presence of human and robots that work in close proximity, cooperating in performing the required job. Such a collaboration, however, requires to pay attention to many aspects. Firstly,…
