Silent Speech and Emotion Recognition from Vocal Tract Shape Dynamics in Real-Time MRI [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Speech sounds of spoken language are obtained by varying configuration of the articulators surrounding the vocal tract. They contain abundant information that can be utilized to better understand the underlying mechanism of human speech production. We propose a novel deep neural network-based learning framework that understands acoustic information in ...

Video-TransUNet: Temporally Blended Vision Transformer for CT VFSS Instance Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 We propose Video-TransUNet, a deep architecture for instance segmentation in medical CT videos constructed by integrating temporal feature blending into the TransUNet deep learning framework. In particular, our approach amalgamates strong frame representation via a ResNet CNN backbone, multi-frame feature blending via a Temporal Context Module (TCM ...
