Better Together: Leveraging Unpaired Multimodal Data for Stronger Unimodal Models
Traditional multimodal learners find unified representations for tasks like visual question answering, but rely heavily on paired datasets. However, an overlooked yet potentially powerful question is: can one leverage auxiliary unpaired multimodal data to directly enhance representation learning in a target modality? We introduce UML: Unpaired Multimodal Learner, a modality-agnostic training paradigm in which a single model alternately processes inputs from different modalities while sharing pa…

Leveraging Whisper Embeddings for Audio-based Lyrics Matching
Audio-based lyrics matching can be an appealing alternative to other content-based retrieval approaches, but existing methods often suffer from limited reproducibility and inconsistent baselines. In this work, we introduce WEALY, a fully reproducible pipeline that leverages Whisper decoder embeddings for lyrics matching tasks. WEALY establishes robust and transparent baselines, while also exploring multimodal extensions that integrate textual and acoustic features. Through extensive experiments…

Condamnation de l’influenceuse Rym Renom pour la promotion d’une fausse injectrice : la fin de l’impunité ?
Si l’affaire doit être rejugée le 24 juin, la sanction d’un an ferme infligée à l’ex-candidate de téléréalité de 33 ans, pour avoir fait la publicité d’une esthéticienne, risque de dissuader de nombreuses influenceuses, adeptes de ces publications aux conséquences gravissimes.

Beyond Sub-6 GHz: Leveraging mmWave Wi-Fi for Gait-Based Person Identification
Person identification plays a vital role in enabling intelligent, personalized, and secure human-computer interaction. Recent research has demonstrated the feasibility of leveraging Wi-Fi signals for passive person identification using a person's unique gait pattern. Although most existing work focuses on sub-6 GHz frequencies, the emergence of mmWave offers new opportunities through its finer spatial resolution, though its comparative advantages for person identification remain unexplored. Thi…
