VowelPrompt: Hearing Speech Emotions from Text via Vowel-level Prosodic Augmentation

ICLR 2026poster

Emotion recognition in speech presents a complex multimodal challenge, requiring comprehension of both linguistic content and vocal expressivity, particularly prosodic features such as fundamental frequency, intensity, and temporal dynamics. Although large language models (LLMs) have shown promise i…

Efficient Batched Algorithm for Contextual Linear Bandits with Large Action Space via Soft Elimination

NeurIPS 2023poster

In this paper, we provide the first efficient batched algorithm for contextual linear bandits with large action spaces. Unlike existing batched algorithms that rely on action elimination, which are not implementable for large action sets, our algorithm only uses a linear optimization oracle over the…

Learning from Distributed Users in Contextual Linear Bandits Without Sharing the Context

NeurIPS 2022accept

Contextual linear bandits is a rich and theoretically important model that has many practical applications. Recently, this setup gained a lot of interest in applications over wireless where communication constraints can be a performance bottleneck, especially when the contexts come from a large $d$-…
