UAI 20232023We study algorithms for online change-point detection (OCPD), where samples that are potentially heavy-tailed, are presented one at a time and a change in the underlying mean must be detected as early as possible. We present an algorithm based on clipped Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), that works even if we only assume that the second moment of the data generating process is bounded. We derive guarantees

IEEE RO-MAN 20232023For social robots like Astro which interact with and adapt to the daily movements of users within the home, realistic simulation of human activity is needed for feature development and testing. This paper presents a framework for simulating daily human activity patterns in home environments at scale, supporting manual configurability of different personas or activity patterns, variation of activity timings

IEEE RO-MAN 20232023For social robots to successfully integrate into daily life in home environments, they will need reliable models of the way people perceive and use space in the home. This paper explores the problem of obtaining annotated training data at scale for subjective judgments about spatial locations. Focusing on the use case of identifying good and bad parking spots for a social robot operating in a home environment

ESREL 20232023Understanding cumulative device activity over the lifetime of consumer electronic products is critical in two ways. First, it determines the extent to which a product maximizes utilization during its use, which is a critical consideration of circular products. Second, it allows for better estimations of the use phase carbon footprint, which is valuable in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of consumer electronics

12th ISCA Speech Synthesis Workshop (SSW12)2023State-of-the-art text-to-speech (TTS) systems have utilized pretrained language models (PLMs) to enhance prosody and create more natural-sounding speech. However, while PLMs have been extensively researched for natural language understanding (NLU), their impact on TTS has been overlooked. In this study, we aim to address this gap by conducting a comparative analysis of different PLMs for two TTS tasks:
