Speech collage: code-switched audio generation by collaging monolingual corpora
Amir Hussein, Dorsa Zeinali, Ondřej Klejch +6
Designing effective automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems for Code-Switching (CS) often depends on the availability of the transcribed CS resources. To address data scarcity,…
L1-aware Multilingual Mispronunciation Detection Framework
Yassine El Kheir, Shammur Absar Chowdhury, Ahmed Ali
The phonological discrepancies between a speaker's native (L1) and the non-native language (L2) serves as a major factor for mispronunciation. This paper introduces a novel multili…
The complementary roles of non-verbal cues for Robust Pronunciation Assessment
Yassine El Kheir, Shammur Absar Chowdhury, Ahmed Ali
Research on pronunciation assessment systems focuses on utilizing phonetic and phonological aspects of non-native (L2) speech, often neglecting the rich layer of information hidden…
MyVoice: Arabic Speech Resource Collaboration Platform
Yousseif Elshahawy, Yassine El Kheir, Shammur Absar Chowdhury +1
We introduce MyVoice, a crowdsourcing platform designed to collect Arabic speech to enhance dialectal speech technologies. This platform offers an opportunity to design large diale…
Multi-View Multi-Task Representation Learning for Mispronunciation Detection
Yassine El Kheir, Shammur Absar Chowdhury, Ahmed Ali
The disparity in phonology between learner's native (L1) and target (L2) language poses a significant challenge for mispronunciation detection and diagnosis (MDD) systems. This cha…
Multilingual Word Error Rate Estimation: e-WER3
Shammur Absar Chowdhury, Ahmed Ali
The success of the multilingual automatic speech recognition systems empowered many voice-driven applications. However, measuring the performance of such systems remains a major ch…
Balanced End-to-End Monolingual pre-training for Low-Resourced Indic Languages Code-Switching Speech Recognition
Amir Hussein, Shammur Chowdhury, Najim Dehak +1
The success in designing Code-Switching (CS) ASR often depends on the availability of the transcribed CS resources. Such dependency harms the development of ASR in low-resourced la…
Towards One Model to Rule All: Multilingual Strategy for Dialectal Code-Switching Arabic ASR
Shammur Absar Chowdhury, Amir Hussein, Ahmed Abdelali +1
With the advent of globalization, there is an increasing demand for multilingual automatic speech recognition (ASR), handling language and dialectal variation of spoken content. Re…
Domain Attentive Fusion for End-to-end Dialect Identification with Unknown Target Domain
Suwon Shon, Ahmed Ali, James Glass
End-to-end deep learning language or dialect identification systems operate on the spectrogram or other acoustic feature and directly generate identification scores for each class.…
Convolutional Neural Networks and Language Embeddings for End-to-End Dialect Recognition
Suwon Shon, Ahmed Ali, James Glass
Dialect identification (DID) is a special case of general language identification (LID), but a more challenging problem due to the linguistic similarity between dialects. In this p…
Jets and QCD: A Historical Review of the Discovery of the Quark and Gluon Jets and its Impact on QCD
Ahmed Ali, Gustav Kramer
The observation of quark and gluon jets has played a crucial role in establishing Quantum Chromodynamics [QCD] as the theory of the strong interactions within the Standard Model of…
Implication of the Branching Ratios for the CKM Phenomenology
A. Ali, E. Lunghi, A. Ya. Parkhomenko
We study the implication of the recent measurement by the BELLE collaboration of the averaged branching fraction $\bar B_{exp} [B \to (ρ, ω) γ] = (1.8^{+0.6}_{-0.5} \pm 0.1) \times…
A Comparative Study of the Decays in Standard Model and Supersymmetric Theories
A. Ali, Patricia Ball, L. T. Handoko +1
Using improved theoretical calculations of the decay form factors in the Light Cone-QCD sum rule approach, we investigate the decay rates, dilepton invariant mass spectra and the f…
Experimental Tests of Factorization in Charmless Non-Leptonic Two-Body B Decays
A. Ali, G. Kramer, C. D. Lu
Using a theoretical framework based on the next-to-leading order QCD-improved effective Hamiltonian and a factorization Ansatz for the hadronic matrix elements of the four-quark op…
Photon Energy Spectrum in and Comparison with Data
A. Ali, C. Greub
A comparison of the inclusive photon energy spectrum in the radiative decay $\BGAMAXS$, measured recently by the CLEO collaboration, with the standard model is presented, using a $…
Towards a Model Independent Analysis of Rare Decays
Ahmed Ali, Gian Giudice, Thomas Mannel
We propose to undertake a model-independent analysis of the inclusive decay rates and distributions in the processes \bgamaxs~ and \Bsell ~( or ). We show how measu…
Towards a Model-Independent Analysis of Rare Decays
A. Ali, G. F. Giudice, T. Mannel
Motivated by the experimental accessibility of rare decays in the ongoing and planned experiments, we propose to undertake a model-independent analysis of the inclusive decay r…
