Sound Source Localization for Human-Robot Interaction in Outdoor Environments
This paper presents a sound source localization strategy that relies on a microphone array embedded in an unmanned ground vehicle and an asynchronous close-talking microphone near the operator. A signal coarse alignment strategy is combined with a time-domain acoustic echo cancellation algorithm to estimate a time-frequency ideal ratio mask to isolate the target speech from interferences and environmental noise. This allows selective sound source localization, and provides the robot with the di…

Adaptive Multipath-Based SLAM for Distributed MIMO Systems
Localizing users and mapping the environment using radio signals is a key task in emerging applications such as reliable communications, location-aware security, and safety critical navigation. Recently introduced multipath-based simultaneous localization and mapping (MP-SLAM) can jointly localize a mobile agent and the reflective surfaces in radio frequency (RF) environments. Most existing MP-SLAM methods assume that map features and their corresponding RF propagation paths are statistically i…

Offline Map Matching Based on Localization Error Distribution Modeling
Offline map matching involves aligning historical trajectories of mobile objects, which may have positional errors, with digital maps. This is essential for applications in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), such as route analysis and traffic pattern mining. Existing methods have two main limitations: (i) they assume a uniform Localization Error Distribution (LED) across urban areas, neglecting environmental factors that lead to suboptimal path search ranges, and (ii) they struggle to ef…

Crystal Eye: all sky MeV monitor with high precision real-time localization
Crystal Eye is a space-based all-sky monitor optimized for the autonomous detection and localization of transients in the 10 keV to 30 MeV energy range, a region where extensive observations and monitoring of various astrophysical phenomena are required. By focusing on the operating environment and its impact on the observation process, we optimized the detector design and assessed its scientific potential. We explored the use of novel techniques to achieve the science goals of the experiment. …

Repairing vulnerabilities without invisible hands. A differentiated replication study on LLMs
Background: Automated Vulnerability Repair (AVR) is a fast-growing branch of program repair. Recent studies show that large language models (LLMs) outperform traditional techniques, extending their success beyond code generation and fault detection. Hypothesis: These gains may be driven by hidden factors -- "invisible hands" such as training-data leakage or perfect fault localization -- that let an LLM reproduce human-authored fixes for the same code. Objective: We replicate prior AVR studi…

Gaze-Enhanced Multimodal Turn-Taking Prediction in Triadic Conversations
Turn-taking prediction is crucial for seamless interactions. This study introduces a novel, lightweight framework for accurate turn-taking prediction in triadic conversations without relying on computationally intensive methods. Unlike prior approaches that either disregard gaze or treat it as a passive signal, our model integrates gaze with speaker localization, structuring it within a spatial constraint to transform it into a reliable predictive cue. Leveraging egocentric behavioral cues, our…
