TransSLR: A Lightweight Transformer for Sign Language Recognition
Lucia Yen Wanchi, Samuel Johnny, Victor Tolulope Olufemi +2
Automated Sign Language Recognition for under-represented languages remains a largely unsolved problem. Central African Sign Language (CASL) exemplifies this gap: the only availabl…
Probing Low Frame Rate Degradation in Neural Audio Codecs
Alex Gichamba, Moise Busogi
Low frame rates in neural audio codecs are attractive for autoregressive speech synthesis, where the generation cost scales linearly with the sequence length. Recent work has demon…
Cross-Scale Pretraining: Enhancing Self-Supervised Learning for Low-Resolution Satellite Imagery for Semantic Segmentation
John Waithaka, Gustave Bwirayesu, Moise Busogi
Self-supervised pretraining in remote sensing is mostly done using mid-spatial resolution (MR) image datasets due to their high availability. Given the release of high-resolution (…
Towards Fair and Robust Volumetric CT Classification via KL-Regularised Group Distributionally Robust Optimisation
Samuel Johnny, Blessed Guda, Goodness Obasi +2
Automated diagnosis from chest computed tomography (CT) scans faces two persistent challenges in clinical deployment: distribution shift across acquisition sites and performance di…
Quantifying and Mitigating Selection Bias in LLMs: A Transferable LoRA Fine-Tuning and Efficient Majority Voting Approach
Blessed Guda, Lawrence Francis, Gabrial Zencha Ashungafac +2
Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) answering is a widely used method for evaluating the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs). However, LLMs often exhibit selection bias in MCQ t…
Position Prediction Self-Supervised Learning for Multimodal Satellite Imagery Semantic Segmentation
John Waithaka, Moise Busogi
Semantic segmentation of satellite imagery is crucial for Earth observation applications, but remains constrained by limited labelled training data. While self-supervised pretraini…
