Speech foundation models, such as HuBERT and its variants, are pre-trained on large amounts of unlabeled speech data and then used for a range of downstream tasks. These models use a masked prediction objective, where the model learns to predict information about masked input segments from the unmas…
With the development of federated learning techniques and the increased need for user privacy protection, the federated recommendation has become a new recommendation paradigm. However, most existing works focus on user-level federated recommendation, leaving platform-level federated recommendation…
Effective congestion control algorithms (CCAs) are crucial for the smooth operation of Internet communication infrastructure. CCAs adjust transmission rates based on congestion signals, optimizing resource utilization and user experience. However, existing studies, both rule-based and learning-based…
To ensure safe cooperative driving in mixed traffic with both manned and unmanned vehicles, it is crucial to understand and model the driving styles of human drivers. This paper explores how to develop accurate recognition of driving style and use that for the prediction of vehicle motion, which ena…
Datasets that pair Knowledge Graphs (KG) and text together (KG-T) can be used to train forward and reverse neural models that generate text from KG and vice versa. However models trained on datasets where KG and text pairs are not equivalent can suffer from more hallucination and poorer recall. In t…
Dexterous telemanipulation is crucial in advancing human-robot systems, especially in tasks requiring precise and safe manipulation. However, it faces significant challenges due to the physical differences between human and robotic hands, the dynamic interaction with objects, and the indirect contro…
To achieve safe cooperative driving in mixed traffic of manned and unmanned vehicles, it is necessary to understand and model human drivers' driving behaviors. This paper proposed a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based method to analyze human driver's control and vehicle's dynamics; and then recognize th…
Modeling a human-driven vehicle is a difficult subject since human drivers have a variety of stochastic behavioral components that influence their driving styles. We develop a cooperative driving framework to incorporate dif-ferent human behavior aspects, including the attentiveness of a driver and…
Recently, speech representation learning has improved many speech-related tasks such as speech recognition, speech classification, and speech-to-text translation. However, all the above tasks are in the direction of speech understanding, but for the inverse direction, speech synthesis, the potential…
Class-based language models (LMs) have been long devised to address context sparsity in n-gram LMs. In this study, we revisit this approach in the context of neural LMs. We hypothesize that class-based prediction leads to an implicit context aggregation for similar words and thus can improve general…
We focus on the cross-lingual Text-to-SQL semantic parsing task,where the parsers are expected to generate SQL for non-English utterances based on English database schemas.Intuitively, English translation as side information is an effective way to bridge the language gap,but noise introduced by the…
This paper presents a cooperative driving testbed based on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication, which can be used for research in intelligent transportation systems, such as collision avoidance in mixed traffic of both human-driven vehicles and autonomous vehicles. To achieve the goal, an intelli…
In-context learning using large language models has recently shown surprising results for semantic parsing tasks such as Text-to-SQL translation.Prompting GPT-3 or Codex using several examples of question-SQL pairs can produce excellent results, comparable to state-of-the-art finetuning-based models…
Transformers are powerful for sequence modeling. Nearly all state-of-the-art language models and pre-trained language models are based on the Transformer architecture. However, it distinguishes sequential tokens only with the token position index. We hypothesize that better contextual representation…
Motivated by decentralized approaches to machine learning, we propose a collaborative Bayesian learning algorithm taking the form of decentralized Langevin dynamics in a non-convex setting. Our analysis show that the initial KL-divergence between the Markov Chain and the target posterior distributio…
