Data Augmentation for Voice-Assistant NLU using BERT-based Interchangeable Rephrase
Akhila Yerukola, Mason Bretan, Hongxia Jin
We introduce a data augmentation technique based on byte pair encoding and a BERT-like self-attention model to boost performance on spoken language understanding tasks. We compare…
Learning and Evaluating Musical Features with Deep Autoencoders
Mason Bretan, Sageev Oore, Doug Eck +1
In this work we describe and evaluate methods to learn musical embeddings. Each embedding is a vector that represents four contiguous beats of music and is derived from a symbolic…
You Are What You Eat... Listen to, Watch, and Read
Mason Bretan
This article describes a data driven method for deriving the relationship between personality and media preferences. A qunatifiable representation of such a relationship can be lev…
A Robotic Prosthesis for an Amputee Drummer
Mason Bretan, Deepak Gopinath, Philip Mullins +1
The design and evaluation of a robotic prosthesis for a drummer with a transradial amputation is presented. The principal objective of the prosthesis is to simulate the role finger…
A Unit Selection Methodology for Music Generation Using Deep Neural Networks
Mason Bretan, Gil Weinberg, Larry Heck
Several methods exist for a computer to generate music based on data including Markov chains, recurrent neural networks, recombinancy, and grammars. We explore the use of unit sele…
