Continuous collection of physiological data from wearable sensors enables temporal characterization of individual behaviors. Understanding the relation between an individual's behavioral patterns and psychological states can help identify…
Any audio recording encapsulates the unique fingerprint of the associated acoustic environment, namely the background noise and reverberation. Considering the scenario of a room equipped with a fixed smart speaker device with one or more…
The study of well-being, stress and other human factors has traditionally relied on self-report instruments to assess key variables. However, concerns about potential biases in these instruments, even when thoroughly validated and…
Distributed Virtual Reality systems enable globally dispersed users to interact with each other in a shared virtual environment. In such systems, different types of latencies occur. For a good VR experience, they need to be controlled. The…
Depression is a global health concern with a critical need for increased patient screening. Speech technology offers advantages for remote screening but must perform robustly across patients. We have described two deep learning models…
Videoconferencing is now a frequent mode of communication in both professional and informal settings, yet it often lacks the fluidity and enjoyment of in-person conversation. This study leverages multimodal machine learning to predict…
Social interactions play a crucial role in shaping human behavior, relationships, and societies. It encompasses various forms of communication, such as verbal conversation, non-verbal gestures, facial expressions, and body language. In this…
Estimating human vital signs in a contactless non-invasive method using radar provides a convenient method in the medical field to conduct several health checkups easily and quickly. In addition to monitoring while sitting and sleeping, the…
In this paper, we introduce a new task, Reactive Listener Motion Generation from Speaker Utterance, which aims to generate naturalistic listener body motions that appropriately respond to a speaker's utterance. However, modeling such…
Does speaking style variation affect humans' ability to distinguish individuals from their voices? How do humans compare with automatic systems designed to discriminate between voices? In this paper, we attempt to answer these questions by…
We propose a Perceiver-based sequence classifier to detect abnormalities in speech reflective of several neurological disorders. We combine this classifier with a Universal Speech Model (USM) that is trained (unsupervised) on 12 million…
Speech-based depression detection tools could aid early screening. Here, we propose an interpretable speech foundation model approach to enhance the clinical applicability of such tools. We introduce a speech-level Audio Spectrogram…
Synthesizing natural head motion to accompany speech for an embodied conversational agent is necessary for providing a rich interactive experience. Most prior works assess the quality of generated head motion by comparing them against a…
This paper examines the speaker identification potential of breath sounds in continuous speech. Speech is largely produced during exhalation. In order to replenish air in the lungs, speakers must periodically inhale. When inhalation occurs…
This position paper describes an experiment conducted to understand the relationships between different physiological measures including pupil Diameter, Blinking Rate, Heart Rate, and Heart Rate Variability in order to develop an estimation…
Speech separation has been extensively explored to tackle the cocktail party problem. However, these studies are still far from having enough generalization capabilities for real scenarios. In this work, we raise a common strategy named…
Voice interfaces are increasingly used in high stakes domains such as mobile banking, smart home security, and hands free healthcare. Meanwhile, modern generative models have made high quality voice forgeries inexpensive and easy to create,…
In most automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems, the audio signal is processed to produce a time series of sensor measurements (e.g., filterbank outputs). This time series encodes semantic information in a speaker-dependent way. An…
In this article, we explore computer vision approaches to detect abnormal head pose during e-learning sessions and we introduce a study on the effects of mobile phone usage during these sessions. We utilize behavioral data collected from…
Since the mental states of the speaker modulate speech, stress introduced by cognitive or physical loads could be detected in the voice. The existing voice stress detection benchmark has shown that the audio embeddings extracted from the…
