Active speaker detection in videos addresses associating a source face, visible in the video frames, with the underlying speech in the audio modality. The two primary sources of information to derive such a speech-face relationship are i)…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with structural alterations across cortical and subcortical regions. Quantitative neuroimaging enables large-scale analysis of these neuroanatomical patterns. This project used structural…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most significant neurological disorders that disrupt a person's social communication skills. The progression and development of neuroimaging technologies has made structural network construction…
When watching videos, the occurrence of a visual event is often accompanied by an audio event, e.g., the voice of lip motion, the music of playing instruments. There is an underlying correlation between audio and visual events, which can be…
Early diagnosis and intervention for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has been shown to significantly improve the quality of life of autistic individuals. However, diagnostics methods for ASD rely on assessments based on clinical presentation…
Recently, neural networks based purely on self-attention, such as the Vision Transformer (ViT), have been shown to outperform deep learning models constructed with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) on various vision tasks, thus extending…
Concurrent Speaker Detection (CSD), the task of identifying active speakers and their overlaps in an audio signal, is essential for various audio applications, including meeting transcription, speaker diarization, and speech separation.…
With the recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVA) such as Alexa, Google Home, etc., have become a ubiquitous part of many homes. Currently, such IVAs are mostly audio-based, but going…
Recent progress in auditory intelligence has yielded high-performing systems for sound event detection (SED), acoustic scene classification (ASC), automated audio captioning (AAC), and audio question answering (AQA). Yet these tasks remain…
Audio-visual feature synchronization for real-time speech enhancement in hearing aids represents a progressive approach to improving speech intelligibility and user experience, particularly in strong noisy backgrounds. This approach…
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience challenges in grasping social-emotional cues, which can result in difficulties in recognizing emotions and understanding and responding to social interactions. Social-emotional…
Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) seeks to model, and thereby exploit, the dynamic relationship between a human voice and the corresponding mouth movements. A recently proposed multimodal fusion strategy, AV Align, based on…
The emergence of large language models (LLMs), augmented reality (AR), and user interface/user experience (UI/UX) design in therapies for children, especially with disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is studied in detail in this…
Speech activity detection (or endpointing) is an important processing step for applications such as speech recognition, language identification and speaker diarization. Both audio- and vision-based approaches have been used for this task in…
Audio-visual understanding is a rapidly evolving field that seeks to integrate and interpret information from both auditory and visual modalities. Despite recent advances in multi-modal learning, existing benchmarks often suffer from strong…
Autism spectrum disorder is one of the leading neurodevelopmental disorders in our world, present in over 1% of the population and rapidly increasing in prevalence, yet the condition lacks a robust, objective, and efficient diagnostic.…
When humans perceive the world, they naturally integrate multiple audio-visual tasks within dynamic, real-world scenes. However, current works such as event localization, parsing, segmentation and question answering are mostly explored…
Active speaker detection requires a solid integration of multi-modal cues. While individual modalities can approximate a solution, accurate predictions can only be achieved by explicitly fusing the audio and visual features and modeling…
Emotional expressions are the behaviors that communicate our emotional state or attitude to others. They are expressed through verbal and non-verbal communication. Complex human behavior can be understood by studying physical features from…
Extensive efforts have been devoted to recognizing facial action units (AUs). However, it is still challenging to recognize AUs from spontaneous facial displays especially when they are accompanied with speech. Different from all prior work…
