Robust Audio Tagging under Class-wise Supervision Unreliability
Yuanbo Hou, Zhaoyi Liu, Tong Ye +4
Weakly labeled datasets such as AudioSet have driven recent progress in audio tagging. However, annotation quality varies across sound classes. Labels may be incomplete, ambiguous,…
Mapping Embodied Affective Touch Strategies on a Humanoid Robot
Qiaoqiao Ren, Omar Eldardeer, Francesca Cocchella +3
Affective touch in human-robot interaction is shaped not only by emotional intent, but also by robot embodiment, including touch location, physical constraints, and perceived agenc…
Geo-ATBench: A Benchmark for Geospatial Audio Tagging with Geospatial Semantic Context
Yuanbo Hou, Yanru Wu, Qiaoqiao Ren +3
Environmental sound understanding in computational auditory scene analysis (CASA) is often formulated as an audio-only recognition problem. This formulation leaves a persistent dra…
Touch Speaks, Sound Feels: A Multimodal Approach to Affective and Social Touch from Robots to Humans
Qiaoqiao Ren, Tony Belpaeme
Affective tactile interaction constitutes a fundamental component of human communication. In natural human-human encounters, touch is seldom experienced in isolation; rather, it is…
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…
Touch and Tell: Multimodal Decoding of Human Emotions and Social Gestures for Robots
Qiaoqiao Ren, Remko Proesmans, Yuanbo Hou +2
Human emotions are complex and can be conveyed through nuanced touch gestures. Previous research has primarily focused on how humans recognize emotions through touch or on identify…
