With the booming development of multimodal data (e.g., image, text) on internet platforms, multimodal sequential recommendation methods continue to emerge. Most existing methods incorporate item modal features as auxiliary information, typically concatenating them to learn unified user representatio
As evaluation designs of large language models may shape our trajectory toward artificial general intelligence, comprehensive and forward-looking assessment is essential. Existing benchmarks primarily assess static knowledge, while intelligence also entails the ability to rapidly learn from experien
The multimodal recommendation has gradually become the infrastructure of online media platforms, enabling them to provide personalized service to users through a joint modeling of user historical behaviors (e.g., purchases, clicks) and item various modalities (e.g., visual and textual). The majority…
Next-basket recommendation (NBR) is a type of recommendation task that focuses on mining user interests based on the sequential basket records in which users purchase multiple items at a time. Limited by the sparsity brought by short-term user interaction behavior, existing NBR methods typically fai…
This paper describes our submission to the ICASSP 2023 Signal Processing Grand Challenge (SPGC), which focuses on multilingual Alzheimer’s disease (AD) recognition through spontaneous speech. Our approaches include using a variety of acoustic features and silence-related information for AD detection…
This paper proposes a method of detecting dementia from the simultaneous speech and eye-tracking recordings of subjects in a picture description task. First, automatic speech recognition (ASR) and regional picture recognition (RPR) models are built to extract content-related bottleneck (BN) features…
Neural network models have achieved state-of-the-art performance on grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion. However, their performance relies on large-scale pronunciation dictionaries, which may not be available for a lot of languages. Inspired by the success of the pre-trained language model BERT, th…
This paper presents a method of detecting Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from the spontaneous speech of subjects in a picture description task using neural networks. This method does not rely on the manual transcriptions and annotations of a subject’s speech, but utilizes the bottleneck features extracted…
Data scarcity is always a constraint on analyzing speech transcriptions for automatic Alzheimer’s disease (AD) detection, especially when the subjects are non-English speakers. To deal with this issue, this paper first proposes a contrastive learning method to obtain effective representations for te…
