NAACA: Training-Free NeuroAuditory Attentive Cognitive Architecture with Oscillatory Working Memory for Salience-Driven Attention Gating
Zhongju Yuan, Geraint Wiggins, Dick Botteldooren
Audio provides critical situational cues, yet current Audio Language Models (ALMs) face an attention bottleneck in long-form recordings where dominant background patterns can dilut…
BioOSS: A Bio-Inspired Oscillatory State System with Spatio-Temporal Dynamics
Zhongju Yuan, Geraint Wiggins, Dick Botteldooren
Today's deep learning architectures are primarily based on perceptron models, which do not capture the oscillatory dynamics characteristic of biological neurons. Although oscillato…
A General Close-loop Predictive Coding Framework for Auditory Working Memory
Zhongju Yuan, Geraint Wiggins, Dick Botteldooren
Auditory working memory is essential for various daily activities, such as language acquisition, conversation. It involves the temporary storage and manipulation of information tha…
Oscillatory Hierarchical Reservoirs for Human-like Rhythm Perception and Anticipation
Zhongju Yuan, Geraint Wiggins, Dick Botteldooren
Rhythm is a fundamental aspect of human behaviour, present from infancy and deeply embedded in cultural practices. Rhythm anticipation often occurs before surface event onsets, yet…
Sound-Based Recognition of Touch Gestures and Emotions for Enhanced Human-Robot Interaction
Yuanbo Hou, Qiaoqiao Ren, Wenwu Wang +1
Emotion recognition and touch gesture decoding are crucial for advancing human-robot interaction (HRI), especially in social environments where emotional cues and tactile perceptio…
Exploring Differences between Human Perception and Model Inference in Audio Event Recognition
Yizhou Tan, Yanru Wu, Yuanbo Hou +5
Audio Event Recognition (AER) traditionally focuses on detecting and identifying audio events. Most existing AER models tend to detect all potential events without considering thei…
A Dynamic Systems Approach to Modelling Human-Machine Rhythm Interaction
Zhongju Yuan, Wannes Van Ransbeeck, Geraint Wiggins +1
In exploring the simulation of human rhythmic perception and synchronization capabilities, this study introduces a computational model inspired by the physical and biological proce…
Soundscape Captioning using Sound Affective Quality Network and Large Language Model
Yuanbo Hou, Qiaoqiao Ren, Andrew Mitchell +4
We live in a rich and varied acoustic world, which is experienced by individuals or communities as a soundscape. Computational auditory scene analysis, disentangling acoustic scene…
A novel Reservoir Architecture for Periodic Time Series Prediction
Zhongju Yuan, Geraint Wiggins, Dick Botteldooren
This paper introduces a novel approach to predicting periodic time series using reservoir computing. The model is tailored to deliver precise forecasts of rhythms, a crucial aspect…
No More Mumbles: Enhancing Robot Intelligibility through Speech Adaptation
Qiaoqiao Ren, Yuanbo Hou, Dick Botteldooren +1
Spoken language interaction is at the heart of interpersonal communication, and people flexibly adapt their speech to different individuals and environments. It is surprising that…
Multi-level graph learning for audio event classification and human-perceived annoyance rating prediction
Yuanbo Hou, Qiaoqiao Ren, Siyang Song +3
WHO's report on environmental noise estimates that 22 M people suffer from chronic annoyance related to noise caused by audio events (AEs) from various sources. Annoyance may lead…
