We introduce GAP-URGENet, a generative-predictive fusion framework developed for Track 1 of the ICASSP 2026 URGENT Challenge. The system integrates a generative branch, which performs full-stack speech restoration in a self-supervised…
While the publication of datasets in scientific repositories has become broadly recognised, the repositories tend to have increasing semantic-related problems. For instance, they present various data reuse obstacles for machine-actionable…
One of the problems in applying Genetic Algorithm is that there is some situation where the evolutionary process converges too fast to a solution which causes it to be trapped in local optima. To overcome this problem, a proper diversity in…
This paper presents a new measure of emotional perceptiveness called PAGE: Perceiving AI Generated Emotions. The test includes a broad range of emotions, expressed by ethnically diverse faces, spanning a wide range of ages. We created…
Genetic Algorithm (GA) is a popular meta-heuristic evolutionary algorithm that uses stochastic operators to find optimal solution and has proved its effectiveness in solving many complex optimization problems (such as classification,…
Feature selection plays a vital role in promoting the classifier's performance. However, current methods ineffectively distinguish the complex interaction in the selected features. To further remove these hidden negative interactions, we…
When people try to influence others to do something, they subconsciously adjust their speech to include appropriate emotional information. In order for a robot to influence people in the same way, the robot should be able to imitate the…
