With the advent of large-scale heterogeneous search engines comes the problem of unified search control resulting in mismatches that could have otherwise avoided. A mechanism is needed to determine exact patterns in web mining and…
Only a handful of the world's languages are abundant with the resources that enable practical applications of speech processing technologies. One of the methods to overcome this problem is to use the resources existing in other languages to…
The goal of this work is to train effective representations for keyword spotting via metric learning. Most existing works address keyword spotting as a closed-set classification problem, where both target and non-target keywords are…
Everyday place descriptions often contain place names of fine-grained features, such as buildings or businesses, that are more difficult to disambiguate than names referring to larger places, for example cities or natural geographic…
We study the problems of finding a shortest synchronizing word and its length for a given prefix code. This is done in two different settings: when the code is defined by an arbitrary decoder recognizing its star and when the code is…
Speaker verification systems are vulnerable to spoofing attacks which presents a major problem in their real-life deployment. To date, most of the proposed synthetic speech detectors (SSDs) have weighted the importance of different segments…
Cross-linguistically, native words and loanwords follow different phonological rules. In English, for example, words of Germanic and Latinate origin exhibit different stress patterns, and a certain syntactic structure, double-object…
This study explores an interesting pattern emerging from research that combines artificial intelligence with sound symbolism. In these studies, supervised machine learning algorithms are trained to classify samples based on the sounds of…
Phonetic error detection, a core subtask of automatic pronunciation assessment, identifies pronunciation deviations at the phoneme level. Speech variability from accents and dysfluencies challenges accurate phoneme recognition, with current…
This paper presents a novel approach for detecting mispronunciations by analyzing deviations between a user's original speech and their voice-cloned counterpart with corrected pronunciation. We hypothesize that regions with maximal acoustic…
In this paper, we investigate the domain names of servers on the Internet that are accessed by IoT devices performing machine-to-machine communications. Using machine learning, we classify between them and domain names of servers contacted…
Large Language Models (LLMs) acquire extensive knowledge and remarkable abilities from extensive text corpora, making them powerful tools for various applications. To make LLMs more usable, aligning them with human preferences is essential.…
Clinical characterization and interpretation of respiratory sound symptoms have remained a challenge due to the similarities in the audio properties that manifest during auscultation in medical diagnosis. The misinterpretation and…
The widespread smart devices raise people's concerns of being eavesdropped on. To enhance voice privacy, recent studies exploit the nonlinearity in microphone to jam audio recorders with inaudible ultrasound. However, existing solutions…
Keyword spotting systems continuously process audio streams to detect keywords. One of the most challenging tasks in designing such systems is to reduce False Alarm (FA) which happens when the system falsely registers a keyword despite the…
With current hardware and software, a standard computer can now hold in RAM an index for approximate pattern matching on about half a dozen human genomes. Sequencing technologies have improved so quickly, however, that scientists will soon…
The like regular expression predicate has been part of the SQL standard since at least 1989. However, despite its popularity and wide usage, database vendors provide only limited indexing support for regular expression queries which almost…
Speaker verification systems are crucial for authenticating identity through voice. Traditionally, these systems focus on comparing feature vectors, overlooking the speech's content. However, this paper challenges this by highlighting the…
The problem of proximity full-text search is considered. If a search query contains high-frequently occurring words, then multi-component key indexes deliver an improvement in the search speed compared with ordinary inverted indexes. It was…
Tokenisation is the first step in almost all NLP tasks, and state-of-the-art transformer-based language models all use subword tokenisation algorithms to process input text. Existing algorithms have problems, often producing tokenisations…
