The field of computer architecture, which bridges high-level software abstractions and low-level hardware implementations, remains absent from current large language model (LLM) evaluations. To this end, we present QuArch (pronounced 'quark'), the first benchmark designed to facilitate the developme…
Image deblurring is a critical area of research, traditionally focused on scenarios where blurred images are formed by convolving a clean image with a blur kernel and adding white Gaussian noise. However, real-world images often suffer from non-uniform and non-stationary noise, which presents additi…
Autoregressive Transformers rely on Key-Value (KV) caching to accelerate inference. However, the linear growth of the KV cache with context length leads to excessive memory consumption and bandwidth constraints. Existing methods drop distant tokens or compress states in a lossy manner, sacrificing a…
Acoustic differences between children’s and adults’ speech causes the degradation in the automatic speech recognition system performance when system trained on adults’ speech and tested on children’s speech. The key acoustic mismatch factors are formant, speaking rate, and pitch. In this paper, we p…
In this paper, we present our efforts towards developing a robust automatic speaker verification (ASV) system for children when the domain-specific data is limited. For that purpose, we have studied the effect of in-domain and out-of-domain data augmentation. Several different combinations of data a…
This paper presents an improved methodology for the segmentation of the Air-Tissue boundaries (ATBs) in the upper airway of the human vocal tract using Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rtMRI) videos. Semantic segmentation is deployed in the proposed approach using a Deep learning architecture c…
Conventional feedback control methods can solve various types of robot control problems very efficiently by capturing the structure with explicit models, such as rigid body equations of motion. However, many control problems in modern manufacturing deal with contacts and friction, which are difficul…
Radial distortion for ordinary (non-fisheye) camera lenses has traditionally been modeled as an infinite series function of radial location of an image pixel from the image center. While there has been enough empirical evidence to show that such a model is accurate and sufficient for radial distort…
