Current methods for multivariate time series forecasting can be classified into channel-dependent and channel-independent models. Channel-dependent models learn cross-channel features but often overfit the channel ordering, which hampers adaptation when channels are added or reordered. Channel-indep…
The ambiguity of human emotions poses several challenges for machine learning models, as they often overlap and lack clear delineating boundaries. Contrastive language-audio pretraining (CLAP) has emerged as a key technique for generalisable emotion recognition. However, as conventional CLAP enforce…
The rapid spread of diverse information on online social platforms has prompted both academia and industry to realize the importance of predicting content popularity, which could benefit a wide range of applications, such as recommendation systems and strategic decision-making. Recent works mainly f…
While current emotional text-to-speech (TTS) systems can generate highly intelligible emotional speech, achieving fine control over emotion rendering of the output speech still remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we introduce ParaEVITS, a novel emotional TTS framework that leverages the…
With the ubiquity of hyper-relational facts in modern Knowledge Graphs (KGs), existing link prediction techniques mostly focus on learning the sophisticated relationships among multiple entities and relations contained in a fact, while ignoring the multimodal information, which often provides additi…
Translating mental health recognition from clinical research into real-world application requires extensive data, yet existing emotion datasets are impoverished in terms of daily mental health monitoring, especially when aiming for self-reported anxiety and depression recognition. We introduce the J…
Accurate LiDAR-camera extrinsic calibration is a precondition for many multi-sensor systems in mobile robots. Most calibration methods rely on laborious manual operations and calibration targets. While working online, the calibration methods should be able to extract information from the environment…
Monitoring urban flow timely and accurately is crucial for many industrial applications – from urban planning to traffic control in the smart cities. This work introduces a new method for inferring fine-grained urban flow with the internet of mobile things such as taxis and bikes. We tackle the prob…
