Time vs. Truth: Age-Distortion Tradeoffs and Strategies for Distributed Inference

Yunus Inan

In 1948, Claude Shannon laid the foundations of information theory, which grew out of a study to find the ultimate limits of source compression, and of reliable communication. Since then, information theory has proved itself not only as a quest to find the ...

Get More for Less in Decentralized Learning Systems

Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Rafael Pereira Pires, Rishi Sharma, Akash Balasaheb Dhasade, Milos Vujasinovic

Decentralized learning (DL) systems have been gaining popularity because they avoid raw data sharing by communicating only model parameters, hence preserving data confidentiality. However, the large size of deep neural networks poses a significant challeng ...

Dysarthric Speech Recognition with Lattice-Free MMI

Enno Hermann

Recognising dysarthric speech is a challenging problem as it differs in many aspects from typical speech, such as speaking rate and pronunciation. In the literature the focus so far has largely been on handling these variabilities in the framework of HMM/G ...

Octopamine neuron dependent aggression requires dVGLUT from dual-transmitting neurons

Brian Donal McCabe

Neuromodulators such as monoamines are often expressed in neurons that also release at least one fast-acting neurotransmitter. The release of a combination of transmitters provides both "classical" and "modulatory" signals that could produce diverse and/or ...
