Q: We present a hybrid framework that leverages the trade-off between temporal and frequency precision in audio representations to improve the performance of speech enhancement task. We first show that conventional approaches using specific representations such as raw-audio and spectrograms are each effective at targeting different types of noise.
 By integrating both approaches, our model can learn multi-scale and multi-domain features, effectively removing noise existing on different regions on the time-frequency space in a complementary way. Experimental results show that the proposed hybrid model yields better performance and robustness than using each model individually.

A: A hybrid model utilizing both raw-audio and spectrogram information for speech enhancement tasks.

Q: This paper presents a Mutual Information Neural Estimator (MINE) that is linearly scalable in dimensionality as well as in sample size. MINE is  back-propable and we prove that it is strongly consistent. We illustrate a handful of applications in which MINE is succesfully applied  to enhance the property of generative models in both unsupervised and supervised settings. We apply our framework to estimate the information bottleneck, and apply it in tasks related to supervised classification problems. Our results  demonstrate substantial added flexibility and improvement in these settings.


A: A scalable in sample size and dimensions mutual information estimator.

Q:   Analysis methods which enable us to better understand the
  representations and functioning of neural models of language are
  increasingly needed as deep learning becomes the dominant approach
  in NLP. Here we present two methods based on Representational
  Similarity Analysis (RSA) and Tree Kernels (TK) which allow us to
  directly quantify how strongly the information encoded in neural
  activation patterns corresponds to information represented by
  symbolic structures such as syntax trees. We first validate our
  methods on the case of a simple synthetic language for arithmetic
  expressions with clearly defined syntax and semantics, and show that
  they exhibit the expected pattern of results. We then apply our methods to
  correlate neural representations of English sentences with their
  constituency parse trees.
