Continual Contrastive Spoken Language Understanding

no code implementations4 Oct 2023 Umberto Cappellazzo, Enrico Fini, Muqiao Yang, Daniele Falavigna, Alessio Brutti, Bhiksha Raj

In this paper, we investigate the problem of learning sequence-to-sequence models for spoken language understanding in a class-incremental learning (CIL) setting and we propose COCONUT, a CIL method that relies on the combination of experience replay and contrastive learning.

Rethinking Voice-Face Correlation: A Geometry View

no code implementations26 Jul 2023 Xiang Li, Yandong Wen, Muqiao Yang, Jinglu Wang, Rita Singh, Bhiksha Raj

Previous works on voice-face matching and voice-guided face synthesis demonstrate strong correlations between voice and face, but mainly rely on coarse semantic cues such as gender, age, and emotion.

Backdoor Attacks with Input-unique Triggers in NLP

no code implementations25 Mar 2023 Xukun Zhou, Jiwei Li, Tianwei Zhang, Lingjuan Lyu, Muqiao Yang, Jun He

Backdoor attack aims at inducing neural models to make incorrect predictions for poison data while keeping predictions on the clean dataset unchanged, which creates a considerable threat to current natural language processing (NLP) systems.

PAAPLoss: A Phonetic-Aligned Acoustic Parameter Loss for Speech Enhancement

2 code implementations16 Feb 2023 Muqiao Yang, Joseph Konan, David Bick, Yunyang Zeng, Shuo Han, Anurag Kumar, Shinji Watanabe, Bhiksha Raj

We can add this criterion as an auxiliary loss to any model that produces speech, to optimize speech outputs to match the values of clean speech in these features.

Improving Speech Enhancement through Fine-Grained Speech Characteristics

1 code implementation1 Jul 2022 Muqiao Yang, Joseph Konan, David Bick, Anurag Kumar, Shinji Watanabe, Bhiksha Raj

We first identify key acoustic parameters that have been found to correlate well with voice quality (e. g. jitter, shimmer, and spectral flux) and then propose objective functions which are aimed at reducing the difference between clean speech and enhanced speech with respect to these features.
