Seminar: Transfer Learning, Data Efficiency and Fairness in Deep Reinforcement Learning

Seminar by Matthieu Zimmer, UM-SJTU Monday, February 8th, 11:00 – 12:00 INRIA Montbonnot Saint-Martin   Abstract: In reinforcement learning, we aim at designing agents that take sequential decisions in unknown environments by learning through their own interaction with such environments. However, learning from scratch is often costly in terms of data to collect, transfer learning can help …

Seminar: Complex-valued and hybrid models for audio processing

Seminar by Paul Magron, IRIT Tuesday, February 2nd, 16:00 – 17:00 INRIA Montbonnot Saint-Martin   Abstract: In this talk, I will give an overview of my work, which main application is sound source separation, the task of automatically extracting constitutive components from their observed mixture in an audio recording. I will address it in the time-frequency domain, …

[Closed] Master Internship on Audio-visual speech separation using variational auto-encoders

Topic: In this Master thesis, we address the problem of speech separation given single-channel microphone mixed speech and video frames of the involved speakers. Although there exist several audio-only speech separation methods [1], here, we aim to utilize also the visual information, that is, video frames of speakers’ lips. This would help to distinguish different …

[Closed] Master Internship on Robust Deep Regression

Topic: In this Master thesis we address the problem of how to robustly train a ConvNet for regression, or deep robust regression [1,2]. Traditionally, deep regression employs the L2 loss function [3], known to be sensitive to outliers, i.e. samples that either lie at an abnormal distance away from the majority of the training samples, …

(Closed) MSc. Project on Speaker identity modeling with deep learning for re-identification

MSc. Project on Speaker identity modeling with deep learning for re-identification Short description: Speaker identification is the task that aims at determining which speaker has produced a given utterance [1]. On the other hand, speaker verification or re-identification aims at determining whether there is a match between a given speech utterance and a target speaker …
