WACV 20242024We propose a new semi-supervised learning design for human pose estimation that revisits the popular dual-student framework and enhances it two ways. First, we introduce a denoising scheme to generate reliable pseudo-heatmaps as targets for learning from unlabeled data. This uses multi-view augmentations and a threshold-and-refine procedure to produce a pool of pseudo-heatmaps. Second, we select the learning

2024Data augmentation is a key tool for improving the performance of deep networks, particularly when there is limited labeled data. In some fields, such as computer vision, augmentation methods have been extensively studied; however, for speech and audio data, there are relatively fewer methods developed. Using adversarial learning as a starting point, we develop a simple and effective augmentation strategy

EMNLP 20232024Analogy-making between narratives is crucial for human reasoning. In this paper, we evaluate the ability to identify and generate analogies by constructing a first-of-its-kind large-scale story-level analogy corpus, STORYANALOGY, which contains 24K story pairs from diverse domains with human annotations on two similarities from the extended Structure-Mapping Theory. We design a set of tests on STORYANALOGY

2024Context cues carry information which can improve multiturn interactions in automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. In this paper, we introduce a novel mechanism inspired by hyper-prompting to fuse textual context with acoustic representations in the attention mechanism. Results on a test set with multi-turn interactions show that our method achieves 5.9% relative word error rate reduction (rWERR) over

ECIR 20242024E-commerce customers frequently seek detailed product information for purchase decisions, commonly contacting sellers directly with extended queries. This manual response requirement imposes additional costs and disrupts buyer’s shopping experience with response time fluctuations ranging from hours to days. We seek to automate buyer inquiries to sellers in a leading e-commerce store using a domain-specific
