Self-supervised pre-trained models have consistently delivered state-of-art results in the fields of natural language and speech processing. However, we argue that their merits for modeling Turn-Taking for spoken dialogue systems still need further investigation. Due to that, in this paper we intro-…
Large speech emotion recognition datasets are hard to obtain, and small datasets may contain biases. Deep-net-based classifiers, in turn, are prone to exploit those biases and find shortcuts such as speaker characteristics. These shortcuts usually harm a model’s ability to generalize. To address thi…
Self-supervised pre-trained features have consistently delivered state-of-art results in the field of natural language processing (NLP); however, their merits in the field of speech emotion recognition (SER) still need further investigation. In this paper we introduce a modular End-to-End (E2E) SER…
Recent innovations in self-supervised representation learning have led to remarkable advances in natural language processing. That said, in the speech processing domain, self-supervised representation learning-based systems are not yet considered state-of-the-art.We propose leveraging recent advance…
Transformer networks and self-supervised pre-training have consistently delivered state-of-art results in the field of natural language processing (NLP); however, their merits in the field of spoken language understanding (SLU) still need further investigation. In this paper we introduce a modular E…
The goal of our work is to complete missing areas of images of talking faces, exploiting information from both the visual and audio modalities. Existing image inpainting methods rely solely on visual content that doesn't always provide sufficient information for the task. To counter this, we propose…
