The ICASSP 2024 Audio Deep Packet Loss Concealment Challenge
Audio packet loss concealment is the hiding of gaps in VoIP audio streams caused by network packet loss. With the ICASSP 2024 Audio Deep Packet Loss Concealment Grand Challenge, we build on the success of the previous Audio PLC Challenge held at INTERSPEECH 2022. We evaluate models on an overall harder dataset, and use the new ITU-T P.804 evaluation procedure to more closely evaluate the performance of systems specifically on the PLC task. We evaluate a total of 9 systems, 8 of which satisfy th…

Forecasting Volatility with Machine Learning and Rough Volatility: Example from the Crypto-Winter
We extend the application and test the performance of a recently introduced volatility prediction framework encompassing LSTM and rough volatility. Our asset class of interest is cryptocurrencies, at the beginning of the "crypto-winter" in 2022. We first show that to forecast volatility, a universal LSTM approach trained on a pool of assets outperforms traditional models. We then consider a parsimonious parametric model based on rough volatility and Zumbach effect. We obtain similar prediction …

Unveiling Luminous Ly$α$ Emitters at $z\approx6$ through JWST/NIRCam Imaging in the COSMOS Field
We study a sample of 14 spectroscopically confirmed Ly$α$ Emitters (LAEs) in the late era of reionization (at redshift $z\approx6$) based on the JWST/NIRCam imaging dataset. These LAEs with high Ly$α$ luminosity of $L$(Ly$α$) $\sim10^{42.4-43.4}$ erg s$^{-1}$ have been covered by the (ongoing) COSMOS-Web survey (Kartaltepe et al. 2021; Casey et al. 2022) over $0.28$ deg$^2$ in four NIRCam bands (F115W, F150W, F277W, and F444W).
