📢 Presenting our paper “LiSTEN: Learning Soft Token Embeddings for Neural Audio LLMs” — an interpretable fine-tuning method for spoken language understanding. 🗓 Wed, Aug 20 | 08:30–10:30 📍 A11-P2B-03 Hope to see you there! 📄 arxiv.org/pdf/2505.18517 @ISCAInterspeech
Speech-language models show promise in multimodal tasks—but how well are speech & text actually aligned? 🤔 This paper arxiv.org/abs/2505.19937 proposes a new metric to measure layer-wise correlation between the two, with a focus on SLU tasks. 🔍🗣️📄
IEEE MLSP 2025: Deadline extended! The submission deadline is now May 6. - New papers welcome - Revisions accepted 2025.ieeemlsp.org/en/ Don't miss this chance to contribute! #MLSP2025 #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #SignalProcessing #IEEE #CallForPapers #Research
🚀 We have released our paper on ReTreever! 🌳🔍 ReTreever organizes and represents documents in a binary tree across various granular levels, balancing cost & utility while enhancing retrieval transparency. 📜 Read it here: arxiv.org/pdf/2502.07971 #AI @ServiceNowRSRCH 🧵👇
We are working hard to organize the 35th #IEEE #MachineLearning for #SignalProcessing Workshop (MLSP) in #Istanbul (Aug 31–Sept 3, 2025)! It will be an unforgettable event with inspiring #research, talks, and keynotes. Paper submissions: Apr 22, 2025 2025.ieeemlsp.org/en/
I’m in Vancouver for @NeurIPSConf! I’ll be presenting our paper “Listenable Maps for Zero-Shot Audio Classifiers” today at the @Mila_Quebec booth at 2PM. Come visit if you are into (multimodal) interpretability. I’m looking forward to meeting you!
