CORN: Co-Trained Full- And No-Reference Speech Quality Assessment

description: Perceptual evaluation constitutes a crucial aspect of various audio-processing tasks. Full reference (FR) or similarity-based metrics rely on high-quality reference recordings, to which lower-quality or corrupted versions of the recording may be compared for evaluation. In contrast, no-reference (NR) metrics evaluate a recording without relying on a reference. Both the FR and NR approaches exhibit advantages and drawbacks relative to each other. In this paper, we present a novel framework called CORN that amalgamates these dual approaches, concurrently training both FR and NR models together. After training, the models can be applied independently. We evaluate CORN by predicting several common objective metrics and across two different architectures. The NR model trained using CORN has access to a reference recording during training, and thus, as one would expect, it consistently outperforms baseline NR models trained independently. Perhaps even more remarkable is that the CORN FR model also outperforms its baseline counterpart, even though it relies on the same training data and the same model architecture. Thus, a single training regime produces two independently useful models, each outperforming independently trained models

description: Although current data augmentation methods are successful to alleviate the data insufficiency, conventional augmentation are primarily intra-domain while advanced generative adversarial networks (GANs) generate images remaining uncertain, particularly in small-scale datasets. In this paper, we propose a parameterized GAN (ParaGAN) that effectively controls the changes of synthetic samples among domains and highlights the attention regions for downstream classification. Specifically, ParaGAN incorporates projection distance parameters in cyclic projection and projects the source images to the decision boundary to obtain the class-difference maps. Our experiments show that ParaGAN can consistently outperform the existing augmentation methods with explainable classification on two small-scale medical datasets.

Multi-Beam Multiplexing Design with Phase-Only Excitation Based on Hybrid Beamforming Architectures
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Since the weighting coefficient associated with each antenna is a complex number, both magnitude and phase controls are required in analog implementation and they are different for different antennas. This will add complexity to its implementation especially for large-scale antenna arrays and this problem can be mitigated by phase-only control on the analog beamformer. Here a novel design is proposed based on the work in [1], where a phase-only control is considered so that the magnitude of weighting coefficients can be precomputed by the designers in advance according to their specified requirements.
LOW COST VARIABLE STEP-SIZE LMS WITH MAXIMUM SIMILARITY TO THE AFFINE PROJECTION ALGORITHM

Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: The LMS algorithm is widely employed in adaptive systems due to its robustness, simplicity, and reasonable performance. However, it is well known that this algorithm suffers from a slow convergence speed when dealing with colored reference signals. Numerous variants and alternative algorithms have been proposed to address this issue, though all of them entail an increase in computational cost. Among the proposed alternatives, the affine projection algorithm stands out. This algorithm has the peculiarity of starting from N data vectors of the reference signal. It transforms these vectors into as many data vectors suitably normalized in energy and mutually orthogonal. In this work, we propose a version of the LMS algorithm that, similar to the affine projection algorithm, starts from N data vectors of the reference signal but corrects them by using only a scalar factor that functions as a convergence step. Our goal is to align the behavior of this algorithm with the behavior of the affine projection algorithm without significantly increasing the computational cost of the LMS. [1]

Self-supervised Speaker Verification Employing a Novel Clustering Algorithm
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique, which leverages a large amount of unlabeled data to learn cluster-wise representations from speech. One of the most popular self-supervised techniques to train a speaker verification system is to predict the pseudo-labels using clustering algorithms and then train the speaker embedding network using the generated pseudo-labels in a discriminative manner. Therefore, pseudo-labels - driven self-supervised speaker verification systems' performance relies heavily on the accuracy of the adopted clustering algorithms. In this contribution, we propose a novel clustering technique that not only (i) combines predictions of augmented samples to provide a complementary supervisory signal for clustering and imposes symmetry within the augmentations but also (ii) enforces representation invariance via Self-Augmented Training (SAT) and maximizes the information-theoretic dependency between samples and their predicted pseudo-labels.
Experimental results on the VoxCeleb dataset show that the proposed clustering framework achieves better clustering performance in terms of a variety of clustering metrics. Proposed framework is also able to provide better self-supervised speaker verification performance than the state-of-the-art approaches trained on the same dataset.

description: In the paper, based on the analysis of accidental oil spills from pipelines, a grapho-analytical method was proposed for the correct determination of the amount of hydrocarbons spilled into the environment in different modes. During the accident, it was proved that the opinion about the free flow of oil into the environment is not correct due to the fact that the atmospheric pressure was not created at the maximum point of the track profile, but at the accident site (hole). Currently, there are almost no correct methods for multiphase flows, unlike single-phase flows, in normative documents and literature sources. Taking into account that the determination of which part of the oil flows from the pipeline during real accidents is very important for risk analysis, studies were carried out on the basis of the compressed profile of the oil pipeline. In the paper, accident-oil spills, as well as the conditions under which it is possible to make 3-5% of the volume of the pipeline in the free flow mode, and the complete emptying of the pipeline are defined.

description: The morphostructural, genetic characteristics and oil-gas potential of local folds of the Buzovna-Mashtaga-Janub-2 anticlinal zone have been studied. These studies made it possible to predict promising oil and gas-bearing objects within individual local structures. This anticlinal zone is situated in the northeastern part of the Absheron Peninsula and consists of en-echelon local folds such as Buzovna–Mashtaga, Gala, Turkan, Zira, Janub and Janub-2. The presence of a regional left-lateral strike-slip fault between the Zira and Janub folds contributed to the displacement of the Janub and Janub-2 folds in the northeast direction and lead to the separation of these structures from studied anticlinal zone. However, they are a tectonic continuation of the anticlinal zone. The level of dislocation of the studied folds decay in the northeast direction due to a decrease in the intensity of the cross buckle mechanism that forms these structures as they move away from the Greater Caucasus collision. Due to the complexity of the oil and gas bearing structures under consideration with hemianticlines and taking into account that the latter, as a rule, transform into local folds with stratigraphic depth, they are promising objects for oil and gas prospecting and exploration. The natural reservoirs of the local folds under consideration are saturated with hydrocarbons in accordance with the principle of differential entrapment by S.P. Maksimova V. Gassou.

Messageria Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1904: 230.
Type species. Helicomorpha scalarioides Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1904, by original designation.
Remarks. Messageria was introduced by Bavay & Dautzenberg (1904) with the obliquely positioned embryonic shell and stairs-like ribs (Bavay & Dautzenberg, 1904; Thiele, 1929). Messageria was synonymized with Helicomorpha in previous studies (Egorov, 2013; Bank, 2017). In comparison with Helicomorpha (SMF 105304, H = 1.5 mm, W = 1.5 mm), the shell of Messageria is significantly larger (see measurements below). More importantly, the outer surface of the operculum in Helicomorpha is flat or with an outward bulge / inward depression in the center (possibly caused by stripped multilayer structure), while in Messageria, the operculum is concave on the outside with multispiral lamina on the outer surface. Based on this diagnostic set we consider the two as separate genera. The columellar edge of the peristome in some Helicomorpha species is strongly expanded, such a trait that has not been found in Messageria. The obliquely positioned protoconch also appears in some species of Helicomorpha, however, such trait is not diagnostic as it is common in diplommatinids and alycaeids. Affiliates of Messageria see in Discussion.

description: Monitoring the condition of agricultural lands in the Chechen Republic using geographic information systems (GIS) is an important tool for assessing and managing agricultural resources in the region. This paper discusses modern GIS methods and technologies used to analyze land conditions, including their use to identify land use changes, assess soil quality, and monitor the impact of climate change. The focus is on collecting and processing data using remote sensing, as well as using analytical tools to create maps and models that help make informed decisions in agriculture. The monitoring results help optimize the use of land resources, increase their productivity, and improve resilience to external factors. As a result, the use of GIS technologies becomes an integral part of effective land management in the Chechen Republic, contributing to the sustainable development of agriculture in the region.

description: Mudslides, as well as the manifestation of landslides, rockfalls, desertification of the territory, seasonal floods, hail, are one of the negative natural processes that manifest themselves in the mountainous regions of the republic, damaging communications. Villages are also formed in parts of areas that economically represent only areas of mountain grazing, are poorly populated or not populated at all, but nevertheless do not lose their relevance and, like other inhabited areas, require studying the manifestations of natural processes. The amount of precipitation and the level of moisture in the mountainous part of the republic are the highest, so the influence of moisture on the surface shapes is the most significant here. The territory of the Argun River basin is located in a zone of 5-7-point seismicity, which increases from north to south. The most populated Chechen inclined plain and the northern slopes of the Greater Caucasus are located in a zone of increased seismic activity. An assessment of the possible activation of mudflow processes as a result of climate change is given. The conducted qualitative analysis of changes in meteorological factors influencing the formation of mudflows (precipitation, temperature regime) in the region according to data from various weather stations. An increase in air temperature and an increase in the amount of precipitation — both average annual values and values for the warm and cold period have been revealed; the tendency of glaciers to retreat is clearly observed. A study of climate change over a long period shows that mudflow activity in the Argun River basin has increased significantly.
A STUDY OF MULTICHANNEL SPATIOTEMPORAL FEATURES AND KNOWLEDGE DISTILLATION ON ROBUST TARGET SPEAKER EXTRACTION
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Target speaker extraction (TSE) based on direction of arrival (DOA) has a wide range of applications in e.g., remote conferencing, hearing aids, in-car speech interaction. Due to the inherent phase uncertainty, existing TSE methods usually suffer from speaker confusion within specific frequency bands. Imprecise DOA measurements caused by e.g., the calibration of the microphone array and ambient noises, can also deteriorate the TSE performance. In order to improve the robustness of TSE, in this work we propose several new multichannel spatiotemporal features to represent the discriminability of the target speaker. The narrow-band Conformer model is applied in combination with the proposed features to facilitate the extraction of the target speaker. In addition, we consider knowledge distillation for improving the model robustness, particularly in the presence of DOA mis-match. Experimental results on a public dataset verify the efficacy of the proposed method.

description: Technological development, digitalization, cybersecurity, the use of artificial intelligence, all these areas are becoming part of the everyday life of society. Along with the task related to renewable energy, the republic is making its contribution to solving climate change issues. This year, the international conference COP29 will be held in Azerbaijan under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In this regard, the attention of the international community will be directed to our country, namely to activities in the field of environmental protection and climate change. Based on this, it is necessary to introduce new solutions and innovations that will help reduce the negative consequences of climate change. One of the important problems is global warming. It leads to disruption of the natural ecosystem, including the occurrence of hazardous natural phenomena and destructive natural disasters. Forecasting the occurrence and development of natural and man-made phenomena on Earth is of great relevance. Direct damage from all types of emergency events amounts to a huge amount. Preventing emergency situations (ES) based on monitoring their precursors is more economically profitable than responding to the consequences of emergencies. Thus, one of the main tasks of disaster risk management is monitoring and forecasting emergencies. The noted consists in constant monitoring of processes occurring in nature and the technosphere with the aim of scientific prediction of possible dangerous phenomena. The forecasting system includes information about the forecast object, which reveals its behavior in the past and present, as well as the patterns of this behavior. Information about these precursors should be sent to the monitoring and forecasting center using monitoring systems. Here, appropriate predictions are made based on heuristic and mathematical methods. According to the area of occurrence, emergencies are divided into natural and man-made ones. On the base of the above-mentioned facts, this paper is aimed of discussing several important features of multimedia support system for aerospace monitoring of emergency situation on the Caspian Sea using technologies AI.
THE USTC-NERCSLIP SYSTEMS FOR THE ICMC-ASR CHALLENGE
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: This report describes the submitted system to the In-Car Multi-Channel Automatic Speech Recognition (ICMC-ASR) challenge, which considers the ASR task with multi-speaker overlapping and Mandarin accent dynamics in the ICMC case. We implement the front-end speaker diarization using the self-supervised learning representation based multi-speaker embedding and beamforming using the speaker position, respectively. For ASR, we employ an iterative pseudo-label generation method based on fusion model to obtain text labels of unsupervised data. To mitigate the impact of accent, an Accent-ASR framework is proposed, which captures pronunciation-related accent features at a fine-grained level and linguistic information at a coarse-grained level. On the ICMC-ASR eval set, the proposed system achieves a CER of 13.16% on track 1 and a cpCER of 21.48% on track 2, which significantly outperforms the official baseline system and obtains the first rank on both tracks.

description: The article provides a comprehensive analysis of both natural and anthropogenic climate variations over the Holocene epoch, spanning the last 11,700 years. It begins by exploring the natural drivers of climate change, including Milankovitch cycles, which influence Earth's orbital parameters and contribute to long-term climatic shifts, volcanic eruptions that inject aerosols into the atmosphere, and changes in solar irradiance. These factors played a critical role in shaping early Holocene climate patterns, leading to periods of warming and cooling, such as the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age. As the article progresses, it shifts focus to the growing impact of human activities, particularly from the advent of agriculture and urbanization to the present-day industrial era. The study discusses how early human practices like deforestation, large-scale farming, and the domestication of animals gradually began to influence local and regional climates. However, it is in the post-industrial era that human influence on the climate has dramatically accelerated, primarily due to the combustion of fossil fuels, mass deforestation, and the significant rise in greenhouse gas emissions. This shift marks a transition from predominantly natural climate drivers to an era increasingly dominated by human-induced climate forcing.

description: This article presents a systematic approach to the study of the relationship between natural disasters, ecosystems, pollution and sustainable development. The study is based on an analysis of the available data, as well as the latest scientific research in this area. The main focus is on identifying the main causes of natural disasters and their impact on ecosystems, which, in turn, leads to environmental pollution and disruption of sustainable development. The authors of the study propose a number of recommendations and measures that can be used to make informed decisions and move towards sustainable development in a disaster risk environment. In particular, the study focuses on the importance of taking environmental and social factors into account when developing disaster risk management strategies and ensuring sustainable development. This includes the development and implementation of effective measures to reduce the environmental impact on the environment, ensuring social justice and equality, as well as strengthening institutional mechanisms and structures for risk management. In order to achieve sustainable development, it is necessary not only to eliminate the consequences of natural disasters, but also to prevent their occurrence in the future. This requires an integrated approach that will take into account the interrelationships between various factors such as climate change, environmental processes and socio-economic conditions.

description: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder with a characteristic chronic inflammation of the synovium that may lead to the destruction of the joints in untreated patients. Interestingly, despite the availability of several effective treatments, many patients do not achieve remission or low disease activity or may experience disease relapse. Following the above unmet needs, bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have emerged as a new approach to improve the disease’s treatment. BsAbs are designed to simultaneously target two different proteins involved in RA pathogenesis, leading to enhanced efficacy and reduced side effects compared to traditional monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). In this review, we discuss the development of BsAbs for RA treatment, including their mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety profile. We also deal with the challenges and future directions in this field. BsAbs show promise in preclinical and clinical evaluations for treating RA. Further research is needed to optimize design and dosage and identify ideal patient groups. BsAbs can benefit disease management and improve outcomes of RA patients.

Beyond the Limit of Weight-Sharing: Pioneering Space-Evolving NAS with Large Language Models
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Large language models (LLMs) offer impressive performance across diverse fields, but their increasing complexity raises both design costs and the need for specialized expertise. These challenges are intensified for Neural Architecture Search (NAS) methods reliant on weight-sharing techniques. This paper introduces GNAS, a new NAS method that boosts the search process with the aid of LLMs for efficient model discovery. With insights from existing architectures, GNAS swiftly identifies superior models that can adapt to changing resource constraints. We provide a mathematical framework to facilitate the transfer of knowledge across different model sizes, thereby improving search efficiency. Our experiments conducted on ImageNet, NAS-Bench-Macro, and Channel-Bench-Macro confirm the effectiveness of GNAS across both CNN and Transformer architectures.
DCL-NET DUAL CONTRASTIVE LEARNING NETWORK FOR SEMI-SUPERVISED MULTI-ORGAN SEGMENTATION
Publisher: name: IEEE Signal Processing Society
Year: 2024

description: Semi-supervised learning (SSL) is a sound measure to relieve the strict demand of abundant annotated datasets, especially for challenging multi-organ segmentation (MoS). However, most existing SSL methods predict pixels in a single image independently, ignoring the relations among images and categories. In this paper, we propose a two-stage Dual Contrastive Learning Network (DCL-Net) for semi-supervised MoS, which utilizes global and local contrastive learning to strengthen the relations among images and classes. Concretely, in Stage Ⅰ, we develop a similarity-guided global contrastive learning to explore the implicit continuity and similarity among images and learn global context. Then, in Stage Ⅱ, we present an organ-aware local contrastive learning to further attract the class representations. To ease the computation burden, we introduce a mask center computation algorithm to compress the category representations for local contrastive learning. Experiments conducted on the public 2017 ACDC dataset and an in-house RC-OARs dataset has demonstrated the superior performance of our method.
