Multilingual neural machine translation systems learn to map sentences of different languages into a common representation space. Intuitively, with a growing number of seen languages the encoder sentence representation grows more flexible…
The advent of large language models (LLMs) has gained tremendous attention over the past year. Previous studies have shown the astonishing performance of LLMs not only in other tasks but also in emotion recognition in terms of accuracy,…
Affective computing is very important in the relationship between man and machine. In this paper, a system for speech emotion recognition (SER) based on speech signal is proposed, which uses new techniques in different stages of processing.…
Zero-shot cross-lingual knowledge transfer enables a multilingual pretrained language model, finetuned on a task in one language, make predictions for this task in other languages. While being broadly studied for natural language…
With the advancement of artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies, multimodal emotion recognition has become a prominent research topic. However, existing methods face challenges such as heterogeneous data fusion and the…
Most people who have tried to learn a foreign language would have experienced difficulties understanding or speaking with a native speaker's accent. For native speakers, understanding or speaking a new accent is likewise a difficult task.…
Embedding paralinguistic properties is a challenging task as there are only a few hours of training data available for domains such as emotional speech. One solution to this problem is to pretrain a general self-supervised speech…
We investigate zero-shot cross-lingual news sentiment detection, aiming to develop robust sentiment classifiers that can be deployed across multiple languages without target-language training data. We introduce novel evaluation datasets in…
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) in real-world scenarios remains challenging due to severe class imbalance and the prevalence of spontaneous, natural speech. While recent approaches leverage self-supervised learning (SSL) representations…
We propose a new paradigm for zero-shot learners that is format agnostic, i.e., it is compatible with any format and applicable to a list of language tasks, such as text classification, commonsense reasoning, coreference resolution, and…
Subword modeling for zero-resource languages aims to learn low-level representations of speech audio without using transcriptions or other resources from the target language (such as text corpora or pronunciation dictionaries). A good…
The ambiguity of human emotions poses several challenges for machine learning models, as they often overlap and lack clear delineating boundaries. Contrastive language-audio pretraining (CLAP) has emerged as a key technique for…
Speech emotion recognition aims to identify emotional states from speech signals and has been widely applied in human-computer interaction, education, healthcare, and many other fields. However, since speech data contain rich sensitive…
Recent advances in audio-text cross-modal contrastive learning have shown its potential towards zero-shot learning. One possibility for this is by projecting item embeddings from pre-trained backbone neural networks into a cross-modal space…
We propose a method for speech-to-speech emotionpreserving translation that operates at the level of discrete speech units. Our approach relies on the use of multilingual emotion embedding that can capture affective information in a…
Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to predict unseen classes whose samples have never appeared during training. One of the most effective and widely used semantic information for zero-shot image classification are attributes which are…
Although large language models(LLMs) show amazing capabilities, among various exciting applications discovered for LLMs fall short in other low-resource languages. Besides, most existing methods depend on large-scale dialogue corpora and…
In the era of advanced artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction, identifying emotions in spoken language is paramount. This research explores the integration of deep learning techniques in speech emotion recognition, offering…
The goal of this paper is to learn robust speaker representation for bilingual speaking scenario. The majority of the world's population speak at least two languages; however, most speaker recognition systems fail to recognise the same…
Existing multilingual machine translation approaches mainly focus on English-centric directions, while the non-English directions still lag behind. In this work, we aim to build a many-to-many translation system with an emphasis on the…
