The long-range dependencies among the tokens, which originate from hierarchical structures, are a defining hallmark of human language. However, whether similar dependencies exist within the sequential vocalization of non-human animals…
This paper presents Soundbay, an open-source Python framework that allows bio-acoustics and machine learning researchers to implement and utilize deep learning-based algorithms for acoustic audio analysis. Soundbay provides an easy and…
As the technology is advancing, audio recognition in machine learning is improved as well. Research in audio recognition has traditionally focused on speech. Living creatures (especially the small ones) are part of the whole ecosystem,…
This work explores the capability of conversational chatbots powered by large language models (LLMs), to understand and characterize predicate symmetry, a cognitive linguistic function traditionally believed to be an inherent human trait.…
In this paper, we describe Chat-Bot-Kit, a web-based tool for text-based chats that we designed for research purposes in computer-mediated communication (CMC). Chat-Bot-Kit enables to carry out language studies on text-based real-time chats…
Generative Large Language Models (LLMs) show potential in data analysis, yet their full capabilities remain uncharted. Our work explores the capabilities of LLMs for creating and refining visualizations via conversational interfaces. We…
Flattery is an important aspect of human communication that facilitates social bonding, shapes perceptions, and influences behavior through strategic compliments and praise, leveraging the power of speech to build rapport effectively. Its…
Chatbots are conversational software applications designed to interact dialectically with users for a plethora of different purposes. Surprisingly, these colloquial agents have only recently been coupled with computational models of…
Every year, 10 million pets enter shelters, separated from their families. Despite desperate searches by both guardians and lost animals, 70% never reunite, not because matches do not exist, but because current systems look only at…
This paper delves into the pioneering exploration of potential communication patterns within dog vocalizations and transcends traditional linguistic analysis barriers, which heavily relies on human priori knowledge on limited datasets to…
Databases for OLTP are often the backbone for applications such as hotel room or cinema ticket booking applications. However, developing a conversational agent (i.e., a chatbot-like interface) to allow end-users to interact with an…
Understanding evolution of vocal communication in social animals is an important research problem. In that context, beyond humans, there is an interest in analyzing vocalizations of other social animals such as, meerkats, marmosets, apes.…
Chatbots are one class of intelligent, conversational software agents activated by natural language input (which can be in the form of text, voice, or both). They provide conversational output in response, and if commanded, can sometimes…
The rapid advancement of chat-based language models has led to remarkable progress in complex task-solving. However, their success heavily relies on human input to guide the conversation, which can be challenging and time-consuming. This…
