Task-based measures of image quality (IQ) are critical for evaluating medical imaging systems, which must account for randomness including anatomical variability. Stochastic object models (SOMs) provide a statistical description of such variability, but conventional mathematical SOMs fail to capture…
Document AI, or Document Intelligence pertains to the technology used for document comprehension and analysis. Given the multimodality of documents, the importance of multimodal learning cannot be overstated in the field of document intelligence research. Multimodal data augmentation, as a crucial a…
The toe joints play an important role in human walking and running movement patterns. In this letter, we propose a design method for metamorphic foot structures based on spring-loaded linkages to realize metatarsal-toe switching by using the self-recovery and self-stabilization properties of the spr
This paper presents the details of our system designed for the Task 1 of Multimodal Information Based Speech Processing (MISP) Challenge 2021. The purpose of Task 1 is to leverage both audio and video information to improve the environmental robustness of far-field wake word spotting. In the propose…
In physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) enabled by admittance control, delay-induced oscillations arising from both the neuromuscular time-delays of the human and electromechanical delays of the robot can cause unsafe instability in the system. This study presents and evaluates rate-limiting as a…
This paper introduces an open source speech dataset, KeSpeech, which involves 1,542 hours of speech signals recorded by 27,237 speakers in 34 cities in China, and the pronunciation includes standard Mandarin and its 8 subdialects. The new dataset possesses several properties. Firstly, the dataset pr…
A multi-degree-of-freedom (multi-DOF) exoskeleton relies on an array of sensors to communicate its state (e.g., positions/orientations) and operator-exoskeleton contact interactions (e.g., forces/torques) to its control system. Although sensor redundancy is common in biological systems to cope with
