Combining diverse foundation models is promising, but weight-merging is limited by mismatched architectures and closed APIs. Trinity addresses this with a lightweight coordinator that orchestrates collaboration among large language models…
Trinity-RFT is a general-purpose, unified and easy-to-use framework designed for reinforcement fine-tuning (RFT) of large language models. It is built with a modular and decoupled design, consisting of (1) an RFT-core that unifies and…
This paper introduces a parallel and asynchronous Transformer framework designed for efficient and accurate multilingual lip synchronization in real-time video conferencing systems. The proposed architecture integrates translation, speech…
Federated learning (FL) has emerged as a powerful approach to safeguard data privacy by training models across distributed edge devices without centralizing local data. Despite advancements in homogeneous data scenarios, maintaining…
People speak aloud to externalize thoughts as one way to help clarify and organize them. Although Speech-to-text can capture these thoughts, transcripts can be difficult to read and make sense due to disfluencies, repetitions and potential…
This innovative practice article reports on the piloting of vibe coding (using natural language to create software applications with AI) for English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. We developed a human-AI meta-languaging framework…
This work aims to produce translations that convey source language content at a formality level that is appropriate for a particular audience. Framing this problem as a neural sequence-to-sequence task ideally requires training triplets…
The globalization of education and rapid growth of online learning have made localizing educational content a critical challenge. Lecture materials are inherently multimodal, combining spoken audio with visual slides, which requires systems…
Student mobility or academic mobility involves students moving between institutions during their post-secondary education, and one of the challenging tasks in this process is to assess the transfer credits to be offered to the incoming…
The capability to jointly process multi-modal information is becoming an essential task. However, the limited number of paired multi-modal data and the large computational requirements in multi-modal learning hinder the development. We…
English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students often struggle to deliver oral presentations due to a lack of reliable resources and the limited effectiveness of instructors' feedback. Large Language Model (LLM) can offer new possibilities to…
In today's globalized world, effective communication with people from diverse linguistic backgrounds has become increasingly crucial. While traditional methods of language translation, such as written text or voice-only translations, can…
Audio-video joint generation has progressed rapidly, yet substantial challenges still remain. Non-commercial approaches still suffer audio-visual asynchrony, poor lip-speech alignment, and unimodal degradation, which can be stemmed from…
In this paper, we address the task of multimodal-to-speech generation, which aims to synthesize high-quality speech from multiple input modalities: text, video, and reference audio. This task has gained increasing attention due to its wide…
Speaker diarization in real-world videos presents significant challenges due to varying acoustic conditions, diverse scenes, the presence of off-screen speakers, etc. This paper builds upon a previous study (AVR-Net) and introduces a novel…
Humans can collaborate and complete tasks based on visual signals and instruction from the environment. Training such a robot is difficult especially due to the understanding of the instruction and the complicated environment. Previous…
The rise of mobile devices with abundant sensory data and local computing capabilities has driven the trend of federated learning (FL) on these devices. And personalized FL (PFL) emerges to train specific deep models for each mobile device…
