BLACK-BOX ATTACKS ON IMAGE ACTIVITY PREDICTION AND ITS NATURAL LANGUAGE EXPLANATIONS
Explainable AI (XAI) methods aim to describe the decision process of deep neural networks. Early XAI methods produced visual explanations, whereas more recent techniques generate multimodal explanations that include textual information and visual represent ...
Los Alamitos2023PARSINLU: A Suite of Language Understanding Challenges for Persian
Despite the progress made in recent years in addressing natural language understanding (NLU) challenges, the majority of this progress remains to be concentrated on resource-rich languages like English. This work focuses on Persian language, one of the wid ...
2021Word Sense Consistency in Statistical and Neural Machine Translation
Different senses of source words must often be rendered by different words in the target language when performing machine translation (MT). Selecting the correct translation of polysemous words can be done based on the contexts of use. However, state-of-th ...
EPFL2018Sparse Pronunciation Codes for Perceptual Phonetic Information Assessment
Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei, Dhananjay Ram
Speech is a complex signal produced by a highly constrained articulation machinery. Neuro and psycholinguistic theories assert that speech can be decomposed into molecules of structured atoms. Although characterization of the atoms is controversial, the ex ...
2017Objective Intelligibility Assessment of Text-to-Speech Systems Through Utterance Verification
Hervé Bourlard, Ramya Rasipuram, Raphaël Marc Ullmann
Objective assessment of synthetic speech intelligibility can be a useful tool for the development of text-to-speech (TTS) systems, as it provides a reproducible and inexpensive alternative to subjective listening tests. In a recent work, it was shown that ...

2015Making, Mattering, Mapping: Constituting Underground Potential for Future Urban Development
The Deep City project at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne has, since 2005, been working on an alternative vision for urban planning in which underground resources (water, space, geothermal energy and geomaterials) enter early on in the ...
2014A Proposal for a Kernel-based Algorithm for Large Vocabulary Continuous Speech Recognition
We present a proposal of a kernel-based model for large vocabulary continuous speech recognizer. The continuous speech recognition is described as a problem of finding the best phoneme sequence and its best time span, where the phonemes are generated from ...
John Wiley and Sons2009Annotations of maps in collaborative work at a distance
This thesis inquires how map annotations can be used to sustain remote collaboration. Maps condense the interplay of space and communication, solving linguistic references by linking conversational content to the actual places to which it refers. This is a ...
EPFL2008Constraint Solving for Software Reliability and Text Analysis
We will develop and implement new algorithms for constraint solving and apply them to construct two classes of tools: 1) bug finding and verification tools building on tools such as Java PathFinder and Jahob; 2) tools for deep semantic analysis of texts co ...
