Self-supervised speech models have demonstrated impressive performance in speech processing, but their effectiveness on non-speech data remains underexplored. We study the transfer learning capabilities of such models on bioacoustic…

Recent successful applications of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to audio classification and speech recognition have motivated the search for better input representations for more efficient training. Visual displays of an audio…

Traditionally, research in automated speech recognition has focused on local-first encoding of audio representations to predict the spoken phonemes in an utterance. Unfortunately, approaches relying on such hyper-local information tend to…

Spoken language understanding (SLU) is a key component of task-oriented dialogue systems. SLU parses natural language user utterances into semantic frames. Previous work has shown that incorporating context information significantly…

In this study, we propose the global context guided channel and time-frequency transformations to model the long-range, non-local time-frequency dependencies and channel variances in speaker representations. We use the global context…

We describe in this report our audio scene recognition system submitted to the DCASE 2016 challenge. Firstly, given the label set of the scenes, a label tree is automatically constructed. This category taxonomy is then used in the feature…

This article surveys convolution-based models including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Conformers, ResNets, and CRNNs-as speech signal processing models and provide their statistical backgrounds and speech recognition, speaker…

Material classification in natural settings is a challenge due to complex interplay of geometry, reflectance properties, and illumination. Previous work on material classification relies strongly on hand-engineered features of visual…

We study the merit of transfer learning for two sound recognition problems, i.e., audio tagging and sound event detection. Employing feature fusion, we adapt a baseline system utilizing only spectral acoustic inputs to also make use of…

The ultimate goal of transfer learning is to reduce labeled data requirements by exploiting a pre-existing embedding model trained for different datasets or tasks. The visual and language communities have established benchmarks to compare…

The absence of large labeled datasets remains a significant challenge in many application areas of deep learning. Researchers and practitioners typically resort to transfer learning and data augmentation to alleviate this issue. We study…

Acoustic emotion recognition aims to categorize the affective state of the speaker and is still a difficult task for machine learning models. The difficulties come from the scarcity of training data, general subjectivity in emotion…

Data-efficient neural decoding is a central challenge for speech brain-computer interfaces. We present the first demonstration of transfer learning and cross-task decoding for MEG-based speech models spanning perception and production. We…

Wireless distributed systems as used in sensor networks, Internet-of-Things and cyber-physical systems, impose high requirements on resource efficiency. Advanced preprocessing and classification of data at the network edge can help to…

The sound of crashing waves, the roar of fast-moving cars -- sound conveys important information about the objects in our surroundings. In this work, we show that ambient sounds can be used as a supervisory signal for learning visual…

Collecting sufficient amount of data that can represent various acoustic environmental attributes is a critical problem for distributed acoustic machine learning. Several audio data augmentation techniques have been introduced to address…

Emotion recognition from speech is one of the key steps towards emotional intelligence in advanced human-machine interaction. Identifying emotions in human speech requires learning features that are robust and discriminative across diverse…

We propose an end-to-end affect recognition approach using a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) that handles multiple languages, with applications to emotion and personality recognition from speech. We lay the foundation of a universal…

Unsupervised speech representation learning has shown remarkable success at finding representations that correlate with phonetic structures and improve downstream speech recognition performance. However, most research has been focused on…

Over the past decade, deep learning research has been accelerated by increasingly powerful hardware, which facilitated rapid growth in the model complexity and the amount of data ingested. This is becoming unsustainable and therefore…
