DiscoPhon: Benchmarking the Unsupervised Discovery of Phoneme Inventories With Discrete Speech Units

Maxime Poli, Manel Khentout, Angelo Ortiz Tandazo +3

We introduce DiscoPhon, a multilingual benchmark for evaluating unsupervised phoneme discovery from discrete speech units. DiscoPhon covers 6 dev and 6 test languages, chosen to sp…

BabyHuBERT: Multilingual Self-Supervised Learning for Segmenting Speakers in Child-Centered Long-Form Recordings

Théo Charlot, Tarek Kunze, Maxime Poli +3

Child-centered daylong recordings are essential for studying early language development, but existing speech models trained on clean adult data perform poorly due to acoustic and l…

fastabx: A library for efficient computation of ABX discriminability

Maxime Poli, Emmanuel Chemla, Emmanuel Dupoux

We introduce fastabx, a high-performance Python library for building ABX discrimination tasks. ABX is a measure of the separation between generic categories of interest. It has bee…

Introducing topography in convolutional neural networks

Maxime Poli, Emmanuel Dupoux, Rachid Riad

Parts of the brain that carry sensory tasks are organized topographically: nearby neurons are responsive to the same properties of input signals. Thus, in this work, inspired by th…
