Better audio representations are more brain-like: linking model-brain alignment with performance in downstream auditory tasks

Leonardo Pepino, Pablo Riera, Juan Kamienkowski +1

Artificial neural networks are increasingly powerful models of brain computation, yet it remains unclear whether improving their performance in downstream tasks also makes their in…

Benchmarking Time-localized Explanations for Audio Classification Models

Cecilia Bolaños, Leonardo Pepino, Martin Meza +1

Most modern approaches for audio processing are opaque, in the sense that they do not provide an explanation for their decisions. For this reason, various methods have been propose…
