Meetings are a common activity in professional contexts, and it remains challenging to endow vocal assistants with advanced functionalities to facilitate meeting management. In this context, a task like active speaker detection can provide…
Mobile and wearable devices have enabled numerous applications, including activity tracking, wellness monitoring, and human--computer interaction, that measure and improve our daily lives. Many of these applications are made possible by…
Audio denoising has been explored for decades using both traditional and deep learning-based methods. However, these methods are still limited to either manually added artificial noise or lower denoised audio quality. To overcome these…
A deep learning approach has been proposed recently to derive speaker identifies (d-vector) by a deep neural network (DNN). This approach has been applied to text-dependent speaker recognition tasks and shows reasonable performance gains…
The objective of this work is to train noise-robust speaker embeddings adapted for speaker diarisation. Speaker embeddings play a crucial role in the performance of diarisation systems, but they often capture spurious information such as…
Textual escalation detection has been widely applied to e-commerce companies' customer service systems to pre-alert and prevent potential conflicts. Similarly, in public areas such as airports and train stations, where many impersonal…
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often experience challenges in health, communication, and sensory processing; therefore, early diagnosis is necessary for proper treatment and care. In this work, we consider the problem of…
In this article, we introduce a novel problem of audio-visual autism behavior recognition, which includes social behavior recognition, an essential aspect previously omitted in AI-assisted autism screening research. We define the task at…
Speaker Identification refers to the process of identifying a person using one's voice from a collection of known speakers. Environmental noise, reverberation and distortion make the task of automatic speaker identification challenging as…
Speaker recognition is a biometric modality that utilizes the speaker's speech segments to recognize the identity, determining whether the test speaker belongs to one of the enrolled speakers. In order to improve the robustness of the…
Humans can intuitively infer sounds from silent videos, but whether multimodal large language models can perform modal-mismatch reasoning without accessing target modalities remains relatively unexplored. Current…
Sensor-based activity recognition seeks the profound high-level knowledge about human activities from multitudes of low-level sensor readings. Conventional pattern recognition approaches have made tremendous progress in the past years.…
The extensive ubiquitous availability of sensors in smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT) has opened up the possibilities for implementing sensor-based activity recognition. As opposed to traditional sensor time-series processing…
An objective understanding of media depictions, such as inclusive portrayals of how much someone is heard and seen on screen such as in film and television, requires the machines to discern automatically who, when, how, and where someone is…
This research aimed to develop an intelligent system to evaluate performance and extract behavioral models for children with ASD and neurotypical (TD) children by interacting with a virtual social robot in a music education program using…
Natural Language Processing has recently made understanding human interaction easier, leading to improved sentimental analysis and behaviour prediction. However, the choice of words and vocal cues in conversations presents an underexplored…
This paper delves into the challenging task of Active Speaker Detection (ASD), where the system needs to determine in real-time whether a person is speaking or not in a series of video frames. While previous works have made significant…
Auditory Attention Detection (AAD) aims to detect target speaker from brain signals in a multi-speaker environment. Although EEG-based AAD methods have shown promising results in recent years, current approaches primarily rely on…
Under noisy conditions, automatic speech recognition (ASR) can greatly benefit from the addition of visual signals coming from a video of the speaker's face. However, when multiple candidate speakers are visible this traditionally requires…
Video saliency detection (VSD) aims at fast locating the most attractive objects/things/patterns in a given video clip. Existing VSD-related works have mainly relied on the visual system but paid less attention to the audio aspect, while,…
