Federated learning for keyword spotting

D Leroy, A Coucke, T Lavril… - ICASSP 2019-2019 …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose a practical approach based on federated learning to solve out-of-domain issues
with continuously running embedded speech-based models such as wake word detectors. …

Efficient keyword spotting using dilated convolutions and gating

A Coucke, M Chlieh, T Gisselbrecht… - ICASSP 2019-2019 …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We explore the application of end-to-end stateless temporal modeling to small-footprint keyword
spotting as opposed to recurrent networks that model long-term temporal dependencies …

ACE: adaptive cluster expansion for maximum entropy graphical model inference

JP Barton, E De Leonardis, A Coucke, S Cocco - Bioinformatics, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Motivation: Graphical models are often employed to interpret patterns of correlations
observed in data through a network of interactions between the variables. Recently, Ising/Potts …

Spoken language understanding on the edge

…, D Leroy, F Caltagirone, A Coucke… - 2019 Fifth Workshop …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We consider the problem of performing Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) on small
devices typical of IoT applications. Our contribution is two-fold. First, we outline the design of …

Direct coevolutionary couplings reflect biophysical residue interactions in proteins

A Coucke, G Uguzzoni, F Oteri, S Cocco… - The Journal of …, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
Coevolution of residues in contact imposes strong statistical constraints on the sequence
variability between homologous proteins. Direct-Coupling Analysis (DCA), a global statistical …
