Continual Generalized Category Discovery (C-GCD) seeks to incrementally discover new categories from unlabeled data and memorize old categories' knowledge, fostering model adaptability in real-world scenarios. Especially, the unlabeled data is from both old and new classes, requiring the model to re
Generalized Category Discovery (GCD) requires models to categorize an unlabeled pool containing both known and novel classes under sparse supervision. We identify a systemic confidence bias inherent in existing parametric methods: while entropy regularization prevents class collapse, it indiscrimina…
Spoken named entity recognition (NER) aims to identify named entities from speech, playing an important role in speech processing. New named entities appear every day, however, annotating their Spoken NER data is costly. In this paper, we demonstrate that existing Spoken NER systems perform poorly w…
The inaccurate translation of numbers can lead to significant security issues, ranging from financial setbacks to medical inaccuracies. While large language models (LLMs) have made significant advancements in machine translation, their capacity for translating numbers has not been thoroughly explore…
Vision-centric semantic occupancy prediction plays a crucial role in autonomous driving, which requires accurate and reliable predictions from low-cost sensors. Although having notably narrowed the accuracy gap with LiDAR, there is still few research effort to explore the reliability and calibration
The automatic assessment of depression through human voice has gained increasing interest due to its cost-effectiveness and non-invasiveness. This paper employs acoustic embeddings from emotionally rich speech segments for depression prediction, given the strong connection between depression and emo…
End-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems often struggle to recognize rare name entities, such as personal names, organizations and terminologies that are not frequently encountered in the training data. This paper presents Contextual Biasing Whisper (CB-Whisper), a novel ASR system base…
Semantic scene completion aims to infer the 3D geometric structures with semantic classes from camera or LiDAR, which provide essential occupancy information in autonomous driving. Prior endeavors concentrate on constructing the network or benchmark in a fully supervised manner. While the dense occu…
Semantic scene completion also known as semantic occupancy prediction can provide dense geometric and semantic information for autonomous vehicles which attracts the increasing attention of both academia and industry. Unfortunately existing methods usually formulate this task as a voxel-wise classif…
Text image translation (TIT) aims to translate the source texts embedded in the image to target translations, which has a wide range of applications and thus has important research value. However, current studies on TIT are confronted with two main bottlenecks: 1) this task lacks a publicly availabl…
We consider downlink multicast beamforming in a massive MIMO multi-cell network. Aiming at maximizing the minimum SINR among users, for both non-cooperative and cooperative multicasting, we propose a multicast beamforming scheme based on weighted maximum ratio transmission (MRT), and transform the b…
