We deal with the problem of sparsity-based audio inpainting, i.e. filling in the missing segments of audio. A consequence of the approaches based on mathematical optimization is the insufficient amplitude of the signal in the filled gaps.…
Music source separation is the task of isolating the instrumental tracks from a music song. Despite its spectacular recent progress, the trend towards more complex architectures and training protocols exacerbates reproducibility issues. The…
Audio large language models (ALLMs) have recently advanced spoken interaction by integrating speech processing with large language models. However, existing evaluations of fairness, safety, and security (FSS) remain fragmented, largely…
We introduce notions of safety, liveness, and fairness, as commonly used in temporal reasoning, to quantitative (bipolar) argumentation dialogues where repeated inferences are drawn from argumentation graphs with weighted nodes. Between…
We improve a result of Bennett concerning certain sequences involving sums of powers of positive integers.
In this expository note we show that the learning parities with noise (LPN) assumption is robust to weak dependencies in the noise distribution of small batches of samples. This provides a partial converse to the linearization technique of…
Statements of Shannon's Noiseless Coding Theorem by various authors, including the original, are reviewed and clarified. Traditional statements of the theorem are often unclear as to when it applies. A new notation is introduced and the…
Reply to the recent comment by I.Ispolatov and M.Karttunen, cond-mat/0303564
The ability to speak is an inherent part of human nature and fundamental to our existence as a social species. Unfortunately, this ability can be restricted in certain situations, such as for individuals who have lost their voice or in…
Understanding degraded speech is demanding, requiring increased listening effort (LE). Evaluating processed and unprocessed speech with respect to LE can objectively indicate if speech enhancement systems benefit listeners. However,…
We reply to the comment by Ying Zhang and S. Das Sarma on our PRL 94, 226405 (2005).
The current public datasets for speech recognition (ASR) tend not to focus specifically on the fairness aspect, such as performance across different demographic groups. This paper introduces a novel dataset, Fair-Speech, a publicly released…
In the sequel, we recall and comment some classical results on the non-increasing rearrangement and Lorentz spaces. There are papers in the existing literature that seemed to have been bypassed as regards its contractive property in~$L^p$…
Fluent and confident speech is desirable to every speaker. But professional speech delivering requires a great deal of experience and practice. In this paper, we propose a speech stream manipulation system which can help non-professional…
Based on a case study on 3D printing, we have been experimenting on the sonification of multidimensional data for peripheral process monitoring. In a previous paper, we tested the effectiveness of a soundscape which combined intentionally…
We consider the problem of whether a given decision model, working with structured data, has individual fairness. Following the work of Dwork, a model is individually biased (or unfair) if there is a pair of valid inputs which are close to…
The paper of Unal [J. Math. Phys. 59, 062104 (2018)], though worthy of attention, contains a conclusion that is in error and may mislead the efforts to extend his results. The aim of the present note is twofold: we provide a correction to…
A commentary on the article "Large-scale evidence of dependency length minimization in 37 languages" by Futrell, Mahowald & Gibson (PNAS 2015 112 (33) 10336-10341).
We provide comments on the article by Shannon et al. (Sep 2015) entitled "Gravitational waves from binary supermassive black holes missing in pulsar observations". The purpose of this letter is to address several misconceptions of the…
This paper studies the problem of finding the exact ranking from noisy comparisons. A comparison over a set of $m$ items produces a noisy outcome about the most preferred item, and reveals some information about the ranking. By repeatedly…
