Detecting Heart Disease from Multi-View Ultrasound Images via Supervised Attention Multiple Instance Learning
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a degenerative valve condition that causes substantial morbidity and mortality. This condition is under-diagnosed and under-treated. In clinical practice, AS is diagnosed with expert review of transthoracic echocardiography, which produces dozens of ultrasound images of the heart. Only some of these views show the aortic valve. To automate screening for AS, deep networks must learn to mimic a human expert's ability to identify views of the aortic valve then aggregate acr…

Emotion Neural Transducer for Fine-Grained Speech Emotion Recognition
The mainstream paradigm of speech emotion recognition (SER) is identifying the single emotion label of the entire utterance. This line of works neglect the emotion dynamics at fine temporal granularity and mostly fail to leverage linguistic information of speech signal explicitly. In this paper, we propose Emotion Neural Transducer for fine-grained speech emotion recognition with automatic speech recognition (ASR) joint training. We first extend typical neural transducer with emotion joint netw…

Weak solutions to Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck equations: Regularity, existence and uniqueness
In this article, we establish embeddings à la Lions and transfer of regularity à la Bouchut for a large scale of kinetic spaces. We use them to identify a notion of weak solutions to Kolmogorov-Fokker-Planck equations with (local or integral) diffusion and rough (measurable) coefficients under minimal requirements. We prove their existence and uniqueness for a large class of source terms, first in full space for the time, position and velocity variables and then for the kinetic Cauchy problem…

E-Vote Your Conscience: Perceptions of Coercion and Vote Buying, and the Usability of Fake Credentials in Online Voting
Online voting is attractive for convenience and accessibility, but is more susceptible to voter coercion and vote buying than in-person voting. One mitigation is to give voters fake voting credentials that they can yield to a coercer. Fake credentials appear identical to real ones, but cast votes that are silently omitted from the final tally. An important unanswered question is how ordinary voters perceive such a mitigation: whether they could understand and use fake credentials, and whether t…

Real-world Instance-specific Image Goal Navigation for Service Robots: Bridging the Domain Gap with Contrastive Learning
Improving instance-specific image goal navigation (InstanceImageNav), which locates the identical object in a real-world environment from a query image, is essential for robotic systems to assist users in finding desired objects. The challenge lies in the domain gap between low-quality images observed by the moving robot, characterized by motion blur and low-resolution, and high-quality query images provided by the user. Such domain gaps could significantly reduce the task success rate but have…

Generative Adversarial Networks for Weakly Supervised Generation and Evaluation of Brain Tumor Segmentations on MR Images
Segmentation of regions of interest (ROIs) for identifying abnormalities is a leading problem in medical imaging. Using machine learning for this problem generally requires manually annotated ground-truth segmentations, demanding extensive time and resources from radiologists. This work presents a weakly supervised approach that utilizes binary image-level labels, which are much simpler to acquire, to effectively segment anomalies in 2D magnetic resonance images without ground truth annotations…

Betting odds link Raiders with getting this QB in NFL Draft
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell sounds ready to compete with both a rookie and veteran Gardner Minshew for the team's starting job this coming summer.  Some believe they know the identity of that first-year pro less than two weeks before the start of the 2024 NFL Draft.  As shared by Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk, the betting odds currently suggest that the Raiders will acquire Washington Huskies quarterback Michael Penix Jr. at some point during the draft.  As of …

Tracing the Roots of Facts in Multilingual Language Models: Independent, Shared, and Transferred Knowledge
Acquiring factual knowledge for language models (LMs) in low-resource languages poses a serious challenge, thus resorting to cross-lingual transfer in multilingual LMs (ML-LMs). In this study, we ask how ML-LMs acquire and represent factual knowledge. Using the multilingual factual knowledge probing dataset, mLAMA, we first conducted a neuron investigation of ML-LMs (specifically, multilingual BERT). We then traced the roots of facts back to the knowledge source (Wikipedia) to identify the ways…
