Towards hate speech detection in low-resource languages: Comparing ASR to acoustic word embeddings on Wolof and Swahili

no code implementations1 Jun 2023 Christiaan Jacobs, Nathanaël Carraz Rakotonirina, Everlyn Asiko Chimoto, Bruce A. Bassett, Herman Kamper

But in an in-the-wild test on Swahili radio broadcasts with actual hate speech keywords, the AWE model (using one minute of template data) is more robust, giving similar performance to an ASR system trained on 30 hours of labelled data.

Painting galaxies into dark matter halos using machine learning

no code implementations8 Dec 2017 Shankar Agarwal, Romeel Davé, Bruce A. Bassett

Our ML framework takes input halo properties including halo mass, environment, spin, and recent growth history, and outputs central galaxy and halo baryonic properties including stellar mass ($M_*$), star formation rate (SFR), metallicity ($Z$), neutral ($\rm HI$) and molecular ($\rm H_2$) hydrogen mass.

Text Compression for Sentiment Analysis via Evolutionary Algorithms

no code implementations20 Sep 2017 Emmanuel Dufourq, Bruce A. Bassett

An analysis of PARSEC with eight commercial and non-commercial sentiment analysis algorithms on twelve English sentiment data sets reveals that accurate compression is possible with (0%, 1. 3%, 3. 3%) loss in sentiment classification accuracy for (20%, 50%, 75%) data compression with PARSEC using LingPipe, the most accurate of the sentiment algorithms.
