The Dissipation Theory of Aging: A Quantitative Analysis Using a Cellular Aging Map
Farhan Khodaee, Rohola Zandie, Yufan Xia +1
We propose a new theory for aging based on dynamical systems and provide a data-driven computational method to quantify the changes at the cellular level. We use ergodic theory to…
Cellular Development Follows the Path of Minimum Action
Rohola Zandie, Farhan Khodaee, Yufan Xia +1
Cellular development follows a stochastic yet rule-governed trajectory, though the underlying principles remain elusive. Here, we propose that cellular development follows paths of…
Artificial Emotional Intelligence in Socially Assistive Robots for Older Adults: A Pilot Study
Hojjat Abdollahi, Mohammad H. Mahoor, Rohola Zandie +2
This paper presents our recent research on integrating artificial emotional intelligence in a social robot (Ryan) and studies the robot's effectiveness in engaging older adults. Ry…
RyanSpeech: A Corpus for Conversational Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Rohola Zandie, Mohammad H. Mahoor, Julia Madsen +1
This paper introduces RyanSpeech, a new speech corpus for research on automated text-to-speech (TTS) systems. Publicly available TTS corpora are often noisy, recorded with multiple…
Topical Language Generation using Transformers
Rohola Zandie, Mohammad H. Mahoor
Large-scale transformer-based language models (LMs) demonstrate impressive capabilities in open text generation. However, controlling the generated text's properties such as the to…
EmpTransfo: A Multi-head Transformer Architecture for Creating Empathetic Dialog Systems
Rohola Zandie, Mohammad H. Mahoor
Understanding emotions and responding accordingly is one of the biggest challenges of dialog systems. This paper presents EmpTransfo, a multi-head Transformer architecture for crea…
