Measures of spike train synchrony have proven a valuable tool in both experimental and computational neuroscience. Particularly useful are time-resolved methods such as the ISI- and the SPIKE-distance, which have already been applied in…
Music emotion recognition is an important task in MIR (Music Information Retrieval) research. Owing to factors like the subjective nature of the task and the variation of emotional cues between musical genres, there are still significant…
Past research has clearly established that music can affect mood and that mood affects emotional and cognitive processing, and thus decision-making. It follows that if a robot interacting with a person needs to predict the person's…
Combining multiple machine learning models into an ensemble is known to provide superior performance levels compared to the individual components forming the ensemble. This is because models can complement each other in taking better…
Hit song prediction, one of the emerging fields in music information retrieval (MIR), remains a considerable challenge. Being able to understand what makes a given song a hit is clearly beneficial to the whole music industry. Previous…
Animals learn tasks requiring a sequence of actions over time. Waiting a given time before taking an action is a simple example. Mimicry is a complex example, e.g. in humans, humming a brief tune you have just heard. Re-experiencing a…
1. Spatial memory plays a role in the way animals perceive their environments, resulting in memory-informed movement patterns that are observable to ecologists. Developing mathematical techniques to understand how animals use memory in…
Word embedding pioneered by Mikolov et al. is a staple technique for word representations in natural language processing (NLP) research which has also found popularity in music information retrieval tasks. Depending on the type of text data…
Sentiment analysis, also called opinion mining, is the field of study that analyzes people's opinions,sentiments, attitudes and emotions. Songs are important to sentiment analysis since the songs and mood are mutually dependent on each…
Measures of spike train synchrony have become important tools in both experimental and theoretical neuroscience. Three time-resolved measures called the ISI-distance, the SPIKE-distance, and SPIKE-synchronization have already been…
The work presented in this paper is part of a global framework which long term goal is to design a wireless sensor network able to support the observation of a population of endangered birds. We present the first stage for which we have…
While information processing in complex systems can be described in abstract, general terms, there are cases in which the relation between these computations and the physical substrate of the underlying system is itself of interest.…
Identification of bird species from audio records is one of the challenging tasks due to the existence of multiple species in the same recording, noise in the background, and long-term recording. Besides, choosing a proper acoustic feature…
Closely related languages show linguistic similarities that allow speakers of one language to understand speakers of another language without having actively learned it. Mutual intelligibility varies in degree and is typically tested in…
Responses have been numerically studied of an ensemble of $N$ (=1, 10, and 100) Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neurons to coherent spike-train inputs applied with independent Poisson spike-train (ST) noise and Gaussian white noise. Three interrelated…
Traditional theories of sensorimotor learning posit that animals use sensory error signals to find the optimal motor command in the face of Gaussian sensory and motor noise. However, most such theories cannot explain common behavioral…
Bird migration is an adaptive behavior ultimately aiming at optimizing survival and reproductive success. We propose an optimal switching model to study bird migration, where birds' migration behaviors can be efficiently modeled as…
Understanding the interaction patterns among simultaneous recordings of spike trains from multiple neuronal units is a key topic in neuroscience. However, an optimal approach of assessing these interactions has not been established, as…
Estimation of mutual information between (multidimensional) real-valued variables is used in analysis of complex systems, biological systems, and recently also quantum systems. This estimation is a hard problem, and universally good…
The degraded performance and group unfairness caused by confounding sensitive attributes in rumor detection remains relatively unexplored. To address this, we propose a two-step framework. Initially, it identifies confounding sensitive…
