Extracting direct-path spatial feature is crucial for sound source localization in adverse acoustic environments. This paper proposes the IPDnet, a neural network that estimates direct-path inter-channel phase difference (DP-IPD) of sound…
Differential evolution (DE) is a population based evolutionary algorithm widely used for solving multidimensional global optimization problems over continuous spaces. However, the design of its operators makes it unsuitable for many…
Entrainment is a known adaptation mechanism that causes interaction participants to adapt or synchronize their acoustic characteristics. Understanding how interlocutors tend to adapt to each other's speaking style through entrainment…
Transfer learning with a small amount of target data is an effective and common approach to adapting a pre-trained model to distribution shifts. In some situations, target data labels may be expensive to obtain, so we may only have access…
Unsupervised anomalous sound detection (ASD) aims to detect unknown anomalous sounds of devices when only normal sound data is available. The autoencoder (AE) and self-supervised learning based methods are two mainstream methods. However,…

Effective communication requires adapting to the idiosyncrasies of each communicative context--such as the common ground shared with each partner. Humans demonstrate this ability to specialize to their audience in many contexts, such as the…
Choosing a decision threshold is one of the challenging job in any classification tasks. How much the model is accurate, if the deciding boundary is not picked up carefully, its entire performance would go in vain. On the other hand, for…
Adaptive experiments improve efficiency by adjusting treatment assignments based on past outcomes, but this adaptivity breaks the i.i.d.\ assumptions that underpin classical asymptotics. At the same time, many questions of interest are…
IR models using a pretrained language model significantly outperform lexical approaches like BM25. In particular, SPLADE, which encodes texts to sparse vectors, is an effective model for practical use because it shows robustness to…
Today very few deep learning-based mobile augmented reality (MAR) applications are applied in mobile devices because they are significantly energy-guzzling. In this paper, we design an edge-based energy-aware MAR system that enables MAR…
Interactive voice assistants have been widely used as input interfaces in various scenarios, e.g. on smart homes devices, wearables and on AR devices. Detecting the end of a speech query, i.e. speech end-pointing, is an important task for…
We propose a novel mechanism for answering sets of count- ing queries under differential privacy. Given a workload of counting queries, the mechanism automatically selects a different set of "strategy" queries to answer privately, using…
In speaker-independent speech emotion recognition, the training and testing samples are collected from diverse speakers, leading to a multi-domain shift challenge across the feature distributions of data from different speakers.…
