The problem of synthetic speech detection has enjoyed considerable attention, with recent methods achieving low error rates across several established benchmarks. However, to what extent can low error rates on academic benchmarks translate…
Cognitive computing systems require human labeled data for evaluation, and often for training. The standard practice used in gathering this data minimizes disagreement between annotators, and we have found this results in data that fails to…
Large datasets are very useful for training speaker recognition systems, and various research groups have constructed several over the years. Voxceleb is a large dataset for speaker recognition that is extracted from Youtube videos. This…
A pressing challenge in current dialogue systems is to successfully converse with users on topics with information distributed across different modalities. Previous work in multiturn dialogue systems has primarily focused on either text or…
The MUSHRA framework is widely used for detecting subtle audio quality differences but traditionally relies on expert listeners in controlled environments, making it costly and impractical for model development. As a result, objective…
Multi-task and multilingual approaches benefit large models, yet speech processing for low-resource languages remains underexplored due to data scarcity. To address this, we present Granary, a large-scale collection of speech datasets for…
Noise is one of the primary quality-of-life issues in urban environments. In addition to annoyance, noise negatively impacts public health and educational performance. While low-cost sensors can be deployed to monitor ambient noise levels…
Data annotation is an essential step for constructing new datasets. However, the conventional approach of data annotation through crowdsourcing is both time-consuming and expensive. In addition, the complexity of this process increases when…
Crowdsourcing is a strategy to categorize data through the contribution of many individuals. A wide range of theoretical and algorithmic contributions are based on the model of Dawid and Skene [1]. Recently it was shown in [2,3] that, in…
Recently, there has been a burst in the number of research projects on human computation via crowdsourcing. Multiple choice (or labeling) questions could be referred to as a common type of problem which is solved by this approach. As an…
We introduce a novel crowdsourcing method for identifying important areas in graphical images through punch-hole labeling. Traditional methods, such as gaze trackers and mouse-based annotations, which generate continuous data, can be…
The problem of "approximating the crowd" is that of estimating the crowd's majority opinion by querying only a subset of it. Algorithms that approximate the crowd can intelligently stretch a limited budget for a crowdsourcing task. We…
Motivated by unconsolidated data situation and the lack of a standard benchmark in the field, we complement our previous efforts and present a comprehensive corpus designed for training and evaluating text-independent multi-channel speaker…
Concept maps can be used to concisely represent important information and bring structure into large document collections. Therefore, we study a variant of multi-document summarization that produces summaries in the form of concept maps.…
In presence of multiple clustering solutions for the same dataset, a clustering ensemble approach aims to yield a single clustering of the dataset by achieving a consensus among the input clustering solutions. The goal of this consensus is…
Information extraction is a critical step in the practice of conducting biomedical systematic literature reviews. Extracted structured data can be aggregated via methods such as statistical meta-analysis. Typically highly trained domain…
Speaker recognition systems based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are often built with off-the-shelf backbones such as VGG-Net or ResNet. However, these backbones were originally proposed for image classification, and therefore may…
Multi-media communications facilitate global interaction among people. However, despite researchers exploring cross-lingual translation techniques such as machine translation and audio speech translation to overcome language barriers, there…
Crowdsourcing is a critical technology in social manufacturing, which leverages an extensive and boundless reservoir of human resources to handle a wide array of complex tasks. The successful execution of these complex tasks relies on task…
Advancements in AI heavily rely on large-scale datasets meticulously curated and annotated for training. However, concerns persist regarding the transparency and context of data collection methodologies, especially when sourced through…
