Diffusion in Style

Sabine Süsstrunk, Radhakrishna Achanta, Mahmut Sami Arpa, Martin Nicolas Everaert

We present Diffusion in Style, a simple method to adapt Stable Diffusion to any desired style, using only a small set of target images. It is based on the key observation that the style of the images generated by Stable Diffusion is tied to the initial lat ...

On the Stability of Fine-tuning BERT: Misconceptions, Explanations, and Strong Baselines

Maksym Andriushchenko

Fine-tuning pre-trained transformer-based language models such as BERT has become a common practice dominating leaderboards across various NLP benchmarks. Despite the strong empirical performance of fine-tuned models, fine-tuning is an unstable process: tr ...

Comparing CTC and LFMMI for out-of-domain adaptation of wav2vec 2.0 acoustic model

Hervé Bourlard, Apoorv Vyas

In this work, we investigate if the wav2vec 2.0 self-supervised pretraining helps mitigate the overfitting issues with connectionist temporal classification (CTC) training to reduce its performance gap with flat-start lattice-free MMI (E2E-LFMMI) for autom ...

A Study on More Realistic Room Simulation for Far-Field Keyword Spotting

Robin Scheibler, Eric Bezzam

We investigate the impact of more realistic room simulation for training far-field keyword spotting systems without fine-tuning on in-domain data. To this end, we study the impact of incorporating the following factors in the room impulse response (RIR) ge ...
