This paper reports our work on building up a Cantonese Speech-to-Text (STT) system with a syllable based acoustic model. This is a part of an effort in building a STT system to aid dyslexic students who have cognitive deficiency in writing…

Low dose CT is of great interest in these days. Dose reduction raises noise level in projections and decrease image quality in reconstructions. Model based image reconstruction can combine statistical noise model together with prior…

Accent recognition with deep learning framework is a similar work to deep speaker identification, they're both expected to give the input speech an identifiable representation. Compared with the individual-level features learned by speaker…

Inspired by the recent progress in self-supervised learning for computer vision, in this paper we introduce DeLoRes, a new general-purpose audio representation learning approach. Our main objective is to make our network learn…

In-Context Learning (ICL) is suffering from unsatisfactory performance and under-calibration due to high prior bias and unfaithful confidence. Some previous works fine-tuned language models for better ICL performance with enormous datasets…

A multi-task learning framework is proposed for optimizing a single deep neural network (DNN) for joint noise reduction (NR) and hearing loss compensation (HLC). A distinct training objective is defined for each task, and the DNN predicts…

While word error rates of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have consistently fallen, natural language understanding (NLU) applications built on top of ASR systems still attribute significant numbers of failures to low-quality…

Large Language Models (LLMs) in multi-turn conversations often suffer from a ``lost-in-conversation'' phenomenon, where they struggle to recover from early incorrect assumptions, particularly when users provide ambiguous initial…

Engagement recognition datasets are typically subject-indexed and often contain noisy, subjective supervision, making post-hoc dataset revision a practical problem. Existing noisy-label and data-cleaning methods largely operate at the…

Deep learning models have become an increasingly preferred option for biometric recognition systems, such as speaker recognition. SincNet, a deep neural network architecture, gained popularity in speaker recognition tasks due to its…

In-Context Learning (ICL) has been extensively studied in text-only Language Models, but remains largely unexplored in the speech domain. Here, we investigate how linguistic and acoustic features affect ICL in Speech Language Models. We…

This review paper explores recent advances in deep learning approaches for non-invasive cognitive impairment detection. We examine various non-invasive indicators of cognitive decline, including speech and language, facial, and motoric…

Human brain employs perceptual information about the head and eye movements to update the spatial relationship between the individual and the surrounding environment. Based on this cognitive process known as spatial updating, we introduce…

Federated learning is a communication-efficient training process that alternates between local training at the edge devices and averaging the updated local model at the central server. Nevertheless, it is impractical to achieve a perfect…

Despite rapid advances in speech recognition, current models remain brittle to superficial perturbations to their inputs. Small amounts of noise can destroy the performance of an otherwise state-of-the-art model. To harden models against…

Keyword Spotting (KWS) systems with small footprint models deployed on edge devices face significant accuracy and robustness challenges due to domain shifts caused by varying noise and recording conditions. To address this, we propose a…

Deep learning (DL) based semantic communication methods have been explored for the efficient transmission of images, text, and speech in recent years. In contrast to traditional wireless communication methods that focus on the transmission…

While machine learning techniques are traditionally resource intensive, we are currently witnessing an increased interest in hardware and energy efficient approaches. This need for resource-efficient machine learning is primarily driven by…

This paper proposes a time-domain method to improve speech intelligibility in noisy scenarios. In the proposed approach, a series of Gammatone filters are adopted to detect the harmonic components of speech. The filters outputs are…

Discrete diffusion models offer global context awareness and flexible parallel generation. However, uniform random noise schedulers in standard DLLM training overlook the highly non-uniform information density inherent in real-world…
