Certified randomness using a trapped-ion quantum processor
While quantum computers have the potential to perform a wide range of practically important tasks beyond the capabilities of classical computers, realizing this potential remains a challenge. One...
A Conformer-based ASR Frontend for Joint Acoustic Echo Cancellation, Speech Enhancement and Speech Separation
We present a frontend for improving robustness of automatic speech recognition (ASR), that jointly implements three modules within a single model: acoustic echo cancellation, speech enhancement,...
Beyond the Meta: Leveraging Game Design Parameters for Patch-Agnostic Esport Analytics
Esport games comprise a sizeable fraction of the global games market, and is the fastest growing segment in games. This has given rise to the domain of esports analytics, which uses telemetry data...
A Conformer-based Waveform-domain Neural Acoustic Echo Canceller Optimized for ASR Accuracy
Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) is essential for accurate recognition of queries spoken to a smart speaker that is playing out audio. Previous work has shown that a neural AEC model operating on...
Mask scalar prediction for improving robust automatic speech recognition
Using neural network based acoustic frontends for improving robustness of streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems is challenging because of the causality constraints and the resulting...
Spatio-Temporal Techniques for User Identification by means of GPS Mobility Data
One of the greatest concerns related to the popularity of GPS-enabled devices and applications is the increasing availability of the personal location information generated by them and shared with...
