Peter Zeng, Pegah Alipoormolabashi, Jihu Mun +5
Responsible use of Authorship Verification (AV) systems not only requires high accuracy but also interpretable solutions. More importantly, for systems to be used to make decisions…
Synthetic Audio Helps for Cognitive State Tasks
Adil Soubki, John Murzaku, Peter Zeng +1
The NLP community has broadly focused on text-only approaches of cognitive state tasks, but audio can provide vital missing cues through prosody. We posit that text-to-speech model…
Gram2Vec: An Interpretable Document Vectorizer
Peter Zeng, Hannah Stortz, Eric Sclafani +4
We present Gram2Vec, a grammatical style embedding system that embeds documents into a higher dimensional space by extracting the normalized relative frequencies of grammatical fea…
