Compression schemes provide a general framework for deriving data-dependent risk bounds for learning algorithms. For learning rules based on preferent compression, existing results upper-bound the risk in terms of a sample-dependent complexity $\boldsymbol{k}$, defined as the cardinality of the compression augmented by...
Overall, this study suggests that robust accent classification evaluation should simultaneously include speaker-disjoint evaluation and cross-corpus testing.
Earnings call transcription presents a realistic continual learning scenario where Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems are updated with new recordings but risk catastrophic forgetting of previously learned financial speech patterns. Adapting Whisper-small from a general-domain speech corpus to the Earnings22 ben...
Time series causal discovery --- the process of detecting causation between time series --- has its roots in signal processing research from over a half century ago. It has since received active and widespread interest, evolving into different forms across domains such as statistics, dynamical systems and machine learn...

Forecasting desertification has received far less attention than mapping it. We use a convolutional LSTM (ConvLSTM) trained on ten annual Earth Observation (EO) variables (2000-2023) over the semi-arid state of Cear\'a, Brazil, on a 256x206 grid at roughly 2.2 km resolution, to measure how much of the year-to-year evol...

We develop a model-free, noise-aware Bayesian clustering framework that constructs a martingale posterior over clusterings from a predictive Bayesian perspective. This avoids explicit likelihood-prior model specification, expensive MCMC sampling, and mode-seeking variational approximations, while accommodating irregula...
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have become the standard architecture for frontier LLMs. The multiple parallel experts in each transformer block theoretically enable expert specialization according to categories such as domains, languages, or modalities during pretraining. However, when data is imbalanced across catego...

Multimodal emotion preference learning uses pairwise comparisons to identify which open-ended emotion descriptions align more closely with human judgments. However, existing methods primarily focus on the final preference decision and provide little explicit supervision for localizing and correcting erroneous content....

GraphTok is presented, a GPU tokenizer that runs the entire encoding pipeline, from pre-tokenization through byte-pair encoding (BPE) merging to token-ID assembly, as one replayable CUDA graph.

This paper considers channel state information (CSI) prediction using neural networks for time-varying multi-antenna channels from noisy historical observations. The main challenge is to exploit temporal correlation while distinguishing channel evolution from observation noise. We propose JEPA-kMMVAE, which combines a...
Modeling human reactions to spatial audio requires understanding both what is heard and where it comes from. Prior work generates motion offline from complete acoustic and spatial input sequences. Humans, however, react to sounds without knowing what they will hear next. We present Sonic-AMG, to our knowledge the first...
Pretrained vision transformers learn structured image representations spanning spatial patch tokens and non-spatial tokens. Recent analyses suggest that non-spatial register tokens encode global scene properties such as illumination, blur, and style. Yet patch-based image decoders discard these outputs, leaving the dec...

Prabha Jha used her experience with MIT Open Learning’s program for senior executives to develop AI solutions for her employer, Verizon, and to write a book.
Assistant Professor Benjamin Lindquist studies how engineers deliberately injected randomness into early AI, giving rise to deep-learning models that sometimes hallucinate.
