ICML 2020 Workshop on AutoML2021While training highly overparameterized neural networks is common practice in deep learning, research into post-hoc weight-pruning suggests that more than 90% of parameters can be removed without loss in predictive performance. To save resources, zero-shot and one-shot pruning attempt to find such a sparse representation at initialization or at an early stage of training. Though efficient, there is no justification

ICML 2021 Time Series Workshop, ICLR 20222021Realistic synthetic time series data of sufficient length enables practical applications in time series modeling tasks, such as forecasting, but remains a challenge. In this paper we present PSAGAN, a generative adversarial network (GAN) that generates long time series samples of high quality using progressive growing of GANs and self-attention. We show that PSA-GAN can be used to reduce the error in two

Entropy Journal2021Variational inference is a powerful framework, used to approximate intractable posteriors through variational distributions. The de facto standard is to rely on Gaussian variational families, which come with numerous advantages: they are easy to sample from, simple to parametrize, and many expectations are known in closed-form or readily computed by quadrature. In this paper, we view the Gaussian variational

Interspeech 2021 Workshop on Speech Synthesis (SSW11)2021Whilst recent neural text-to-speech (TTS) approaches produce high-quality speech, they typically require a large amount of recordings from the target speaker. In previous work [1], a 3-step method was proposed to generate high-quality TTS while greatly reducing the amount of data required for training. However, we have observed a ceiling effect in the level of naturalness achievable for highly expressive

KDD 2021 Workshop on Data-Efficient Machine Learning2021Intelligent Voice Assistant (IVA) systems, such as Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri, allow us to interact with them using just the voice commands. IVAs can elicit voice feedback directly from the users and use their responses to improve the various components of IVAs. One concern with using such crowdsourced voice feedback (CVF) data is the reliability of feedback itself such as background noise or disingenuous
