Reading Cognition as Decisions Unfold in Words: A Factorized Inverse Decision Model
Jiawen Kang, Dongrui Han, Xixin Wu +1
Inverse decision modeling infers latent properties of decision processes from observed behavior, but existing formulations rely primarily on action trajectories. In verbalized cogn…
Imitation Learning for Elder-Facing Speech Synthesis
Dongrui Han, Weidong Chen, Jiawen Kang +3
Recent advances in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis have achieved highly natural and expressive speech generation. However, these systems are designed for general adults and overlook…
Covo-Audio Technical Report
Wenfu Wang, Chenxing Li, Liqiang Zhang +23
In this work, we present Covo-Audio, a 7B-parameter end-to-end LALM that directly processes continuous audio inputs and generates audio outputs within a single unified architecture…
Detecting Neurocognitive Disorders through Analyses of Topic Evolution and Cross-modal Consistency in Visual-Stimulated Narratives
Jinchao Li, Yuejiao Wang, Junan Li +14
Early detection of neurocognitive disorders (NCDs) is crucial for timely intervention and disease management. Given that language impairments manifest early in NCD progression, vis…
On the Within-class Variation Issue in Alzheimer's Disease Detection
Jiawen Kang, Dongrui Han, Lingwei Meng +4
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) detection commonly employs machine learning classification models to distinguish between individuals with AD and those without. Different from conventional…
Exploring Cross-Utterance Speech Contexts for Conformer-Transducer Speech Recognition Systems
Mingyu Cui, Mengzhe Geng, Jiajun Deng +8
This paper investigates four types of cross-utterance speech contexts modeling approaches for streaming and non-streaming Conformer-Transformer (C-T) ASR systems: i) input audio fe…
