Enhancements for Audio-only Diarization Systems
Efficient and Perceptually Plausible 3-D Sound For Virtual Reality
Due to the high computational cost of rendering 3-D graphics for virtual reality, 3-D sound rendering is typically limited to a small fraction of the total compute power. At the same time, it should be…
Microsoft Icecaps
With natural language processing rapidly increasing in popularity, more and more tools have become available to the public to build large systems. Some of these tools are intended for general-purpose NLP, while others focus on…
Project Soundscape
Project Soundscape is a research project that explores the use of innovative audio-based technology to enable people, particularly those with blindness or low vision, to build a richer awareness of their surroundings, thus becoming more…
Towards Secure and Interpretable AI: Scalable Methods, Interactive Visualizations, and Practical Tools
The explosion of available idea repositories — scientific papers, patents, product descriptions — represents an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate innovation and lead to a wealth of discoveries. Given the scale of the problem and its…
SWARM: An Actuated Wearable for Mediating Affect
We present SWARM, a wearable affective technology designed to help a user to reflect on their own emotional state, modify their affect, and interpret the emotional states of others. SWARM aims for a universal design…
Decoding Multisensory Attention from Electroencephalography for Use in a Brain-Computer Interface
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a non-verbal and covert way for humans to interact with a machine. They are designed to interpret user’s brain state that can be translated into action or other communication purposes. While…
