Moment retrieval (MR) and highlight detection (HD) aim to identify relevant moments and highlights in video from corresponding natural language query. Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated proficiency in various computer vision…

Automatic modulation recognition (AMR) detects the modulation scheme of the received signals for further signal processing without needing prior information, and provides the essential function when such information is missing. Recent…

Given a natural language query, video moment retrieval aims to localize the described temporal moment in an untrimmed video. A major challenge of this task is its heavy dependence on labor-intensive annotations for training. Unlike existing…

Recent studies have shown that using an external Language Model (LM) benefits the end-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). However, predicting tokens that appear less frequently in the training set is still quite challenging. The…

Audio fingerprinting provides an identifiable representation of acoustic signals, which can be later used for identification and retrieval systems. To obtain a discriminative representation, the input audio is usually segmented into shorter…

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia, affecting memory, reasoning, communication, and daily functioning. Early diagnosis is particularly important, as timely intervention may…

Automatic Audio Captioning (AAC) refers to the task of translating audio into a natural language that describes the audio events, source of the events and their relationships. The limited samples in AAC datasets at present, has set up a…

Long-tail question answering presents significant challenges for large language models (LLMs) due to their limited ability to acquire and accurately recall less common knowledge. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems have shown great…

This paper introduces the task of Auditory Referring Multi-Object Tracking (AR-MOT), which dynamically tracks specific objects in a video sequence based on audio expressions and appears as a challenging problem in autonomous driving. Due to…

Audio-language models (ALMs) are increasingly used for audio captioning, question answering, and open-ended audio understanding, but their inference cost remains high when audio inputs are represented as long prefix-token sequences. These…

Multimodal Retrieval-Augmented Generation (MRAG) has emerged as a promising method to generate factual and up-to-date responses of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) by incorporating non-parametric knowledge from external knowledge…

Early detection of Alzheimer's Dementia (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is critical for timely intervention, yet current diagnostic approaches remain resource-intensive and invasive. Speech, encompassing both acoustic and…

As a general means of expression, audio analysis and recognition has attracted much attentions for its wide applications in real-life world. Audio emotion recognition (AER) attempts to understand emotional states of human with the given…

Neural network models for audio tasks, such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) and acoustic scene classification (ASC), are susceptible to noise contamination for real-life applications. To improve audio quality, an enhancement module,…

Attention-based encoder-decoder architectures such as Listen, Attend, and Spell (LAS), subsume the acoustic, pronunciation and language model components of a traditional automatic speech recognition (ASR) system into a single neural…

Cross-Modal Retrieval (CMR), which retrieves relevant items from one modality (e.g., audio) given a query in another modality (e.g., visual), has undergone significant advancements in recent years. This capability is crucial for robots to…

Lifelong audio feature extraction involves learning new sound classes incrementally, which is essential for adapting to new data distributions over time. However, optimizing the model only on new data can lead to catastrophic forgetting of…

Attention-based methods and Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) network have been promising research directions for end-to-end Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The joint CTC/Attention model has achieved great success by utilizing…

Audio-visual emotion recognition (AVER) methods typically fuse utterance-level features, and even frame-level attention models seldom address the frame-rate mismatch across modalities. In this paper, we propose a Transformer-based framework…

Sound event detection (SED) has significantly benefited from self-supervised learning (SSL) approaches, particularly masked audio transformer for SED (MAT-SED), which leverages masked block prediction to reconstruct missing audio segments.…
