Retrieve What Helps, Only When It Helps: Agentic Reinforcement Learning for Selective Retrieval-Augmented Machine Translation
Shijun Li, Yang Liu, Najmeh Sadoughi +5
Retrieving external knowledge can improve large language model (LLM) translation by providing supplementary information such as idiom interpretations and terminology. However, exis…
Breaking Babel: A Self-Evolving Multi-Agent System for Long-Form Subtitle Translation
Haibo Jin, Xinjie Li, Najmeh Sadoughi +4
Long-form subtitle translation requires reasoning over discourse and cultural context spanning episodes or entire series, while maintaining consistent terminology and style. Existi…
AugCodec: A Low-Bitrate Disentangled Neural Speech Codec via Data Augmentation
Dongmei Wang, Xiaohang Sun, Yang Liu +10
We propose AugCodec, a low-bitrate disentangled neural speech codec that leverages data augmentation to decompose speech into three distinct components: semantic, speaker, and pros…
AffectCodec: Emotion-Preserving Neural Speech Codec for Expressive Speech Modeling
Jiacheng Shi, Hongfei Du, Xinyuan Song +3
Neural speech codecs provide discrete representations for speech language models, but emotional cues are often degraded during quantization. Existing codecs mainly optimize acousti…
MEGA: Multimodal Alignment Aggregation and Distillation For Cinematic Video Segmentation
Najmeh Sadoughi, Xinyu Li, Avijit Vajpayee +5
Previous research has studied the task of segmenting cinematic videos into scenes and into narrative acts. However, these studies have overlooked the essential task of multimodal a…
Generalized Zero-shot ICD Coding
Congzheng Song, Shanghang Zhang, Najmeh Sadoughi +2
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is a list of classification codes for the diagnoses. Automatic ICD coding is in high demand as the manual coding can be labor-int…
Medical code prediction with multi-view convolution and description-regularized label-dependent attention
Najmeh Sadoughi, Greg P. Finley, James Fone +6
A ubiquitous task in processing electronic medical data is the assignment of standardized codes representing diagnoses and/or procedures to free-text documents such as medical repo…
Speech-Driven Expressive Talking Lips with Conditional Sequential Generative Adversarial Networks
Najmeh Sadoughi, Carlos Busso
Articulation, emotion, and personality play strong roles in the orofacial movements. To improve the naturalness and expressiveness of virtual agents (VAs), it is important that we…
Speech-driven Animation with Meaningful Behaviors
Najmeh Sadoughi, Carlos Busso
Conversational agents (CAs) play an important role in human computer interaction. Creating believable movements for CAs is challenging, since the movements have to be meaningful an…
