A multimodal measurement of the impact of deepfakes on the ethical reasoning and affective reactions of students

Touradj Ebrahimi, Patrick Jermann, Roland John Tormey, Cécile Hardebolle, Nihat Kotluk, Vivek Ramachandran

Deepfakes - synthetic videos generated by machine learning models - are becoming increasingly sophisticated. While they have several positive use cases, their potential for harm is also high. Deepfake production involves input from multiple engineers, maki ...

Academic boredom(s): a person-centered investigation

Alexandra Corina Niculescu

Should we refer to boredom or boredoms? Research on the emotion of boredom sets itself apart from studies on other emotions by posing the question: is boredom a singular concept or does it have multiple facets? In this manuscript presenting empirical resea ...

Bertraffic: Bert-Based Joint Speaker Role And Speaker Change Detection For Air Traffic Control Communications

Petr Motlicek, Juan Pablo Zuluaga Gomez, Amrutha Prasad

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) allows transcribing the communications between air traffic controllers (ATCOs) and aircraft pilots. The transcriptions are used later to extract ATC named entities, e.g., aircraft callsigns. One common challenge is speech ...

Towards Empathetic Open-Domain Chatbots

Yubo Xie

The research community of dialog generation has been interested in incorporating emotional information into the design of open-domain dialog systems ever since neural networks (sequence-to-sequence models in particular) were adopted for modeling dialogs. T ...
