Despite the recent advancements in information retrieval (IR), zero-shot IR remains a significant challenge, especially when dealing with new domains, languages, and newly-released use cases that lack historical query traffic from existing users. For such cases, it is common to use query augmentatio…
Electroencephalography (EEG) based emotion recognition is gaining substantial interest because of its strong association with the area of brain-computer interface. Even though several works exist in the literature, it is still challenging to find discriminative features that can generalize well to d…
The size of embeddings generated by large language models can negatively affect system latency and model size in certain downstream practical applications (e.g. KNN search). In this work, we propose EmbedTextNet, a light add-on network that can be appended to an arbitrary language model to generate…
This paper presents a human activity recognition (HAR) system with wearable devices. While various approaches have been suggested for HAR, most of them focus on either 1) the inertial sensors to capture the physical movement or 2) subject-dependent evaluations that are less practical to real world c…
This paper investigates the employment of photoplethysmography (PPG) for user authentication systems. Time-stable and user-specific features are developed by stretching the signal, designing a convolutional neural network and performing a variation-stable approach with three score fusions. Two evalu…
