2024Cross-language transfer learning from English to a target language has shown effectiveness in low-resourced audiovisual speech recognition (AV-ASR). We first investigate a 2-stage protocol, which performs fine-tuning of the English pre-trained AV encoder on a large audio corpus in the target language (1st stage), and then carries out cross-modality transfer learning from audio to AV in the target language

2024Recent advancements in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have revolutionized the field of vision-language understanding by integrating visual perception capabilities into Large Language Models (LLMs). The prevailing trend in this field involves the utilization of a vision encoder derived from vision-language contrastive learning (CL), showing expertise in capturing overall representations while facing

2024Convolution augmented Transformer architectures have dominated the field of automatic speech recognition by showing better WER results when the models are trained on relatively smaller training data. In this work, we revisit the necessity of convolution modules in the ASR encoder architecture, given that the inductive bias brought by the convolution modules may only boost performance in a low training data

2024Recent advancement in the large-scale image-text pre-training model (such as CLIP) has significantly improved unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) by leveraging the pre-trained knowledge to bridge the source and target domain gap. However, Catastrophic forgetting still remains to be the main challenge, since traditional fine-tuning method to adjust CLIP model weights on a target domain can quickly override

VLDB 20242024Amazon Aurora Serverless is an on-demand, autoscaling configuration for Amazon Aurora with full MySQL and PostgreSQL compatibility. It automatically offers capacity scale-up/down (i.e., vertical scaling) based on a customer database application’s needs. In this manner, it relieves the customer of the need to explicitly manage its database capacity; customers only need to specify minimum and maximum bounds
