This paper first provides an overview of the English pronunciation learning support tool. The tool aims to use "accent-modified speech that retains the learner’s voice quality" as the "target speech." We propose a new conversion model based on conventional methods for this accent conversion. Specifically, we improve the conventional LSTM-based DNN model for accent conversion by adopting a transformer-based model. Our experiments investigated the model’s ability to handle the unique katakana pronunciation characteristic of Japanese speakers. The results confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed conversion method, although challenges remain, such as the scarcity of Japanese speech data and the need to improve the accuracy of speaker identity retention.

Creating pixel-level ground-truth (GT) masks is quite costly for deep learning-based image segmentation. Specialists in areas such as anomaly detection and medical diagnostics face difficulties in producing many GT masks due to limited resources. To reduce this burden, we propose a cost-effective image segmentation framework with point annotations (CoSPA) that performs image segmentation with only point annotations. Point annotations refer to the partial and sparse labeled coordinates in an image. The key idea is to ensure consistency between the predictions for the same coordinates from the two different networks of CoSPA. This new consistency enables the CoSPA to improve segmentation performance and extend to semi-supervised learning. For the MVTec AD dataset, we verified the cost-effectiveness of CoSPA through an anomaly detection task. We demonstrated that the point annotating costs were reduced by 80% compared to creating GT masks. Subsequently, the CoSPA realized by 87% of the mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) achieved using the fully supervised method, DeepLabV3+. Moreover, the mIoU of CoSPA using only 30% of all point annotations defeated that of the unsupervised method, PaDiM. This study offers a new direction for economic anomaly localization.

This paper proposes a method that allows users to easily convert a large number of still images into movies by displaying photos in sync with memories or favorite songs, which offers a new media viewing method for users to look back at the vast number of photos in their photo folders. We assume here that users select a song and have images stored in local PC. One method of synchronization involves selecting images based on elapsed time of song. However, since lyrics convey meaning, it can be better to display the images that align with both lyrics’ meaning and images’ meaning matched. In order to do this, we need the space which shares the concept of both lyrics and images, and select colors as the concept. Displayed images are determined based on the distance between points that are mapped from words and images to color space. Specifically, the color concepts from words are extracted using the Color Image Scale, and that from images are determined as the most frequent colors by cluster analysis. Experimental results show that it is possible to easily create movies where images with colors that match the mood of the lyrics are displayed.
The graduated optimization approach is a method for finding global optimal solutions for nonconvex functions by using a function smoothing operation with stochastic noise. We show that stochastic noise in stochastic g...

Leaky CoaXial (LCX) cable is a line-shaped cable used as antenna for wireless system. Due to its stable and uniform radiation characteristics with changeable shape, LCX cable is largely used for wireless coverage over many linear-cell environments such as shopping mall, tunnel, underground mall or walkway etc. These scenarios usually require location-aware services for many applications. We have investigated many localization methods for LCX system. However, its theoretical localization error bound is still unknown, In this paper, using the LCX channel model which is developed based on the Geometrically-Based Single-Bounce (GBSB) model, we give a brief Fisher Information analysis for LCX-based localization and the impact of different LCX configurations on the position error bound (PEB) is evaluated through the Cramér-Rao lower bound.
