Driving and suppressing the human language network using large language models
Transformer models such as GPT generate human-like language and are predictive of human brain responses to language. Here, using functional-MRI-measured brain responses to 1,000 diverse sentences, we first show that a GPT-based encoding model can predict t ...
Berlin2024The conceptual foundations of innate immunity: Taking stock 30 years later
While largely neglected over decades during which adaptive immunity captured most of the attention, innate immune mechanisms have now become central to our understanding of immunology. Innate immunity provides the first barrier to infection in vertebrates, ...
2024Type-Preserving Compilation of Class-Based Languages
Guillaume André Fradji Martres
The Dependent Object Type (DOT) calculus was designed to put Scala on a sound basis, but while DOT relies on structural subtyping, Scala is a fundamentally class-based language. This impedance mismatch means that a proof of DOT soundness by itself is ...
EPFL2023EAST discharge prediction without integrating simulation results (vol 62, 126060, 2022)
Alessandro Pau, Xiaojuan Liu, Chenguang Wan
In the published paper titled 'EAST discharge prediction without integrating simulation results' (2022 Nucl. Fusion 62 126060), figure 5 used the wrong plot, and is not matched with table 3. We used the plot discussed with referees, the case when we do not ...
Bristol2023Empathetic Conversational Agents for Distress Support
Due to the increasing demands of today's fast-paced world, mental health concerns are on the rise, which necessitates innovative approaches to provide support to those in need. Open-domain conversational agents known as chatbots, offer a unique opportunit ...
EPFL2023Towards Novel Evaluation Methods for Social Dialog Systems
Language has shaped human evolution and led to the desire to endow machines with language abilities. Recent advancements in natural language processing enable us to achieve this breakthrough in human-machine interaction. However, introducing conversational ...
EPFL2023On matching data and model in LF-MMI-based dysarthric speech recognition
In light of steady progress in machine learning, automatic speech recognition (ASR) is entering more and more areas of our daily life, but people with dysarthria and other speech pathologies are left behind. Their voices are underrepresented in the trainin ...
EPFL2023Alívio urbano. Un oasis de fraîcheur à Porto Alegre (BR)
Laura De Oliveira Guerreiro Beutler
Porto Alegre est la capitale de l’état le plus méridional du Brésil. L’énoncé théorique L’évolution de Porto Alegre selon une approche morpho-climatique montrait que cette ville, relativement grande, n’échappe pas à la densification et qu’elle se développe ...
2023Novel Methods For Detection And Analysis Of Atypical Aspects In Speech
Atypical aspects in speech concern speech that deviates from what is commonly considered normal or healthy. In this thesis, we propose novel methods for detection and analysis of these aspects, e.g. to monitor the temporary state of a speaker, diseases tha ...
EPFL2023Recartographier l'espace napoléonien : Une lecture computationnelle du cadastre historique de Lausanne
Isabella Di Lenardo, Lucas Arnaud André Rappo, Rémi Guillaume Petitpierre
Le cadastre napoléonien est une source historique relativement homogène et largement répandue. Cela rend une approche computationnelle particulièrement pertinente. Dans cette étude, nous proposons une méthode de reconnaissance et de vectorisation automatiq ...
