Far-field ASR Using Low-rank and Sparse Soft Targets from Parallel Data

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Pranay Dighe

Far-field automatic speech recognition (ASR) of conversational speech is often considered to be a very challenging task due to the poor quality of alignments available for training the DNN acoustic models. A common way to alleviate this problem is to use c ...

Robust and Discriminative Speaker Embedding via Intra-Class Distance Variance Regularization

Jean-Marc Odobez

Learning a good speaker embedding is critical for many speech processing tasks, including recognition, verification, and diarization. To this end, we propose a complementary optimizing goal called intra-class loss to improve deep speaker embed dings learne ...

Social babbling: The emergence of symbolic gestures and words

Aude Billard, Laura Bénédicte Marine Cohen

Language acquisition theories classically distinguish passive language understanding from active language production. However, recent findings show that brain areas such as Broca's region are shared in language understanding and production. Furthermore, th ...

Neurofeedback Using Real-Time fMRI

Rotem Roza Kopel

Over the last decade, technological advances in the field of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have made it possible to obtain localized measures of brain activity in real-time. This allows for applications such as online quality control of the ...

The Crossed Projection to the Striatum in Two Species of Monkey and in Humans: Behavioral and Evolutionary Significance

Giorgio Innocenti, Tim Bjørn Dyrby

The corpus callosum establishes the anatomical continuity between the 2 hemispheres and coordinates their activity. Using histological tracing, single axon reconstructions, and diffusion tractography, we describe a callosal projection to n caudatus and put ...

Dorsal and ventral stream contributions to form-from-motion perception in a patient with form-from motion deficit: a case report

Olaf Blanke, Manuel Mercier

The main model of visual processing in primates proposes an anatomo-functional distinction between the dorsal stream, specialized in spatio-temporal information, and the ventral stream, processing essentially form information. However, these two pathways a ...

Understanding and Decoding Imagined Speech using Electrocorticographic Recordings in Humans

Stéphanie Martin

Certain brain disorders, resulting from brainstem infarcts, traumatic brain injury, stroke and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, limit verbal communication despite the patient being fully aware. People that cannot communicate due to neurological disorders wou ...

Distributed Patterns of Brain Activity Underlying Real-Time fMRI Neurofeedback Training

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Frank Scharnowski, Kirsten Emmert, Rotem Roza Kopel

Neurofeedback (NF) based on real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) is an exciting neuroimaging application. In most rt-fMRI NF studies, the activity level of a single region of interest (ROI) is provided as a feedback signal and the part ...

Characterisation of voice quality of Parkinson's disease using differential phonological posterior features

Milos Cernak

Change in voice quality (VQ) is one of the first precursors of Parkinson's disease (PD). Specifically, impacted phonation and articulation causes the patient to have a breathy, husky-semiwhisper and hoarse voice. A goal of this paper is to characterize a V ...

Anatomical Modularity of Verbal Working Memory? Functional Anatomical Evidence from a Famous Patient with Short-Term Memory Deficits

Cognitive skills are the emergent property of distributed neural networks. The distributed nature of these networks does not necessarily imply a lack of specialization of the individual brain structures involved. However, it remains questionable whether di ...
