Despite the recent progress in speech emotion recognition (SER), state-of-the-art systems lack generalisation across different conditions. A key underlying reason for poor generalisation is the scarcity of emotion datasets, which is a…
In real-life applications, the performance of speaker recognition systems always degrades when there is a mismatch between training and evaluation data. Many domain adaptation methods have been successfully used for eliminating the domain…
Data-driven models achieve successful results in Speech Emotion Recognition (SER). However, these models, which are often based on general acoustic features or end-to-end approaches, show poor performance when the testing set has a…
There is an imminent need for guidelines and standard test sets to allow direct and fair comparisons of speech emotion recognition (SER). While resources, such as the Interactive Emotional Dyadic Motion Capture (IEMOCAP) database, have…
Models that can handle a wide range of speakers and acoustic conditions are essential in speech emotion recognition (SER). Often, these models tend to show mixed results when presented with speakers or acoustic conditions that were not…
Transcribed datasets typically contain speaker identity for each instance in the data. We investigate two ways to incorporate this information during training: Multi-Task Learning and Adversarial Learning. In multi-task learning, the goal…
New-age conversational agent systems perform both speech emotion recognition (SER) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) using two separate and often independent approaches for real-world application in noisy environments. In this paper,…
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) has become a growing focus of research in human-computer interaction. An essential challenge in SER is to extract common attributes from different speakers or languages, especially when a specific source…
Domain mismatch between training and testing can lead to significant degradation in performance in many machine learning scenarios. Unfortunately, this is not a rare situation for automatic speech recognition deployments in real-world…
The exponential growth of user-generated movie reviews on digital platforms has made accurate text sentiment classification a cornerstone task in natural language processing. Traditional models, including standard BERT and recurrent…
Contrastive Language-Image Pretraining (CLIP) models excel at understanding image-text relationships but struggle with adapting to new data without forgetting prior knowledge. To address this, models are typically fine-tuned using both new…
Speech emotion recognition is the task of recognizing the speaker's emotional state given a recording of their utterance. While most of the current approaches focus on inferring emotion from isolated utterances, we argue that this is not…
Foundational vision models, such as the Segment Anything Model (SAM), have achieved significant breakthroughs through extensive pre-training on large-scale visual datasets. Despite their general success, these models may fall short in…
Tremendous progress has been made in visual representation learning, notably with the recent success of self-supervised contrastive learning methods. Supervised contrastive learning has also been shown to outperform its cross-entropy…
Semantic segmentation models struggle to generalize in the presence of domain shift. In this paper, we introduce contrastive learning for feature alignment in cross-domain adaptation. We assemble both in-domain contrastive pairs and…
Multimodal sentiment analysis has become an increasingly popular research area as the demand for multimodal online content is growing. For multimodal sentiment analysis, words can have different meanings depending on the linguistic context…
Transfer learning is a vital technique that generalizes models trained for one setting or task to other settings or tasks. For example in speech recognition, an acoustic model trained for one language can be used to recognize speech in…
Human beings can quickly adapt to environmental changes by leveraging learning experience. However, the poor ability of adapting to dynamic environments remains a major challenge for AI models. To better understand this issue, we study the…
Context modeling plays a significant role in building multi-turn dialogue systems. In order to make full use of context information, systems can use Incomplete Utterance Rewriting(IUR) methods to simplify the multi-turn dialogue into…
Cross entropy loss has served as the main objective function for classification-based tasks. Widely deployed for learning neural network classifiers, it shows both effectiveness and a probabilistic interpretation. Recently, after the…
