Serial-Parallel Dual-Path Architecture for Speaking Style Recognition
Speaking Style Recognition (SSR) identifies a speaker's speaking style characteristics from speech. Existing style recognition approaches primarily rely on linguistic information, with limited integration of acoustic information, which restricts recognition accuracy improvements. The fusion of acoustic and linguistic modalities offers significant potential to enhance recognition performance. In this paper, we propose a novel serial-parallel dual-path architecture for SSR that leverages acoustic…

GenCNER: A Generative Framework for Continual Named Entity Recognition
Traditional named entity recognition (NER) aims to identify text mentions into pre-defined entity types. Continual Named Entity Recognition (CNER) is introduced since entity categories are continuously increasing in various real-world scenarios. However, existing continual learning (CL) methods for NER face challenges of catastrophic forgetting and semantic shift of non-entity type. In this paper, we propose GenCNER, a simple but effective Generative framework for CNER to mitigate the above dra…

USA zu Zöllen gegen China wegen russischer Ölkäufe bereit
Die USA zeigen grundsätzlich Bereitschaft, China wegen seiner Käufe von russischem Öl mit Zöllen zu belegen. US-Finanzminister Scott Bessent forderte jedoch, dass sich auch die europäischen Verbündeten an solchen Maßnahmen beteiligen müssten. Chinas fortgesetzte Importe russischen Öls würden die russische Kriegsmaschinerie am Laufen halten, betonte Bessent.
