Self-supervised pretrained models exhibit competitive performance in automatic speech recognition (ASR) on finetuning, even with limited in-domain supervised data. However, popular pretrained models are not suitable for streaming ASR because they are train ...

Developing agents that can reliably act on our behalf is central to artificial intelligence (AI). These agents must seamlessly interact with tools, like search engines and databases, and collaborate. In this thesis, we study the abstractions, methods, and ...
Early work has found that large language models (LLMs) can generate persuasive content. However, evidence on whether they can also personalize arguments to individual attributes remains limited, despite being crucial for assessing misuse. This preregistere ...
Faithful human performance capture and free-view rendering from sparse RGB observations is a long-standing problem in Vision and Graphics. The main challenges are the lack of observations and the inherent ambiguities of the setting, e.g. occlusions and dep ...

To retrieve Surface Solar Radiation (SSR) from satellite images, a baseline reflectance of the observed ground in clear-sky conditions, also called background reflectance, is necessary to distinguish atmospheric absorption and scattering effects from surfa ...
Estimating ecosystem-atmosphere fluxes such as evapotranspiration (ET) in a robust manner and at a global scale remains a challenge. Methods based on machine learning (ML) have shown promising results in achieving such upscaling, providing a complementary ...
Sonic Human-Robot Interaction aims at equipping robots with the ability to convey emotions and intentions via sounds. Such sounds are typically handcrafted by human experts, which results in expensive, small sound sets with limited expressivity. To overcom ...
The digitization of 3D deformable objects remains a significant challenge in computer graphics and vision, particularly in the accurate modeling of garments. Garments exhibit complex shape variability, non-rigid deformations, and frequent self-occlusion, m ...
Object detection, a fundamental task in computer vision, is crucial for various intelligent edge computing applications. However, object detection algorithms are usually heavy in computation, hindering their deployments on resource-constrained edge devices ...
Monitoring of cardiac output (CO) is a mainstay of hemodynamic management in the acutely or critically ill patient. Invasive determination of CO using thermodilution, albeit regarded as the gold standard, is cumbersome and bears risks inherent to catheteri ...
MammAlps is a multimodal and multi-view dataset of wildlife behavior monitoring. Nine camera-traps were placed at three monitoring sites in the Swiss National Park, from which we curated over 14 hours of video with audio, 2D segmentation maps and 8.5 hours ...
The optimistic gradient method is useful in addressing minimax optimization problems. Motivated by the observation that the conventional stochastic version suffers from the need for a large batch size on the order of O(ϵ-2) to achieve an ϵ-stationary solut ...
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are well known to perform poorly on dysarthric speech. Previous works have addressed this by speaking rate modification to reduce the mismatch with typical speech. Unfortunately, these approaches rely on transcrib ...

This paper introduces a novel architecture for Quantum Graph Neural Networks, which is significantly different from previous approaches found in the literature. The proposed approach produces similar outcomes with respect to previous models but with fewer ...
Continuous monitoring of various physiological conditions enables early detection of potential health issues. The monitoring offers real-time insights into patient well-being and rapid medical interventions. As a case study, in epilepsy, a prevalent neurol ...
