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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
