This work introduces a novel approach to non-parallel voice conversion (VC) through contrastive learning with selective attention (CSA). Unlike traditional methods that suffer from inconsistent spectral feature mapping, our CSA model enhances spectral feature analysis and comparison by employing an attention matrix to measure spectral distances and select anchor points for contrastive loss. We assess our model's performance across various training schemes, including one-to-one and many-to-one voice conversions, gender differences, data scarcity, and accent variations, without adding extra parameters to maintain efficiency. Our evaluations, both subjective and objective, demonstrate superior sound quality in voice synthesis over baseline methods. Additionally, we explore the impact of selective attention in an ablation study, further validating our model's effectiveness in real-world voice conversion applications.

While sensing imagery in space missions has broad applications, the growing image resolution and data volume have caused a major challenge due to limited deep space channel capacities. To address this challenge, semantics-aware image compression becomes a promising direction. This paper is motivated to explore lossy compression at the ultra-low rate regime, which is a deviation from the high-fidelity- oriented tradition. Specifically, we propose an ultra-low rate deep image compression (DIC) codec by synthesizing multiple neural computing techniques such as style generative adversarial network (GAN), inverse GAN mapping, and contrastive disentangled representation learning. In addition, a residual-based progressive encoding framework is proposed to enable smooth transitions from the ultra-low rate regime to near- lossless regime. Experiments on the FFHQ and DOTA dataset demonstrate that compared with existing DICs, the proposed DIC can push the minimum rate boundary by about one order of magnitude while preserving the semantic attributes and maintaining a high perception quality. We further elaborate the design considerations for cross-rate-regime progressive DIC. Our study confirm that a semantically disentangled DIC holds the promise to bridge multiple rate regimes. IEEE

Let V be a set of n vertices, M a set of m labels, and let R be an m × n matrix of independent Bernoulli random variables with probability of success p;columns of R are incidence vectors of label sets assigned to vertices. A random instance G(V, E, RT R) of the weighted random intersection graph model is constructed by drawing an edge with weight equal to the number of common labels (namely [RT R]v,u) between any two vertices u, v for which this weight is strictly larger than 0. In this paper we study the average case analysis of Weighted Max Cut, assuming the input is a weighted random intersection graph, i.e. given G(V, E, RT R) we wish to find a partition of V into two sets so that the total weight of the edges having exactly one endpoint in each set is maximized. In particular, we initially prove that the weight of a maximum cut of G(V, E, RT R) is concentrated around its expected value, and then show that, when the number of labels is much smaller than the number of vertices (in particular, m = nα, α Θ(1)n), we show that with high probability, a majority type randomized algorithm outputs a cut with weight that is larger than the weight of a random cut by a multiplicative constant strictly larger than 1. Then, we formally prove a connection between the computational problem of finding a (weighted) maximum cut in G(V, E, RT R) and the problem of finding a 2-coloring that achieves minimum discrepancy for a set system Σ with incidence matrix R (i.e. minimum imbalance over all sets in Σ). We exploit this connection by proposing a (weak) bipartization algorithm for the case m = n, p = Θ(1)n that, when it terminates, its output can be used to find a 2-coloring with minimum discrepancy in a set system with incidence matrix R. In fact, with high probability, the latter 2-coloring corresponds to a bipartition with maximum cut-weight in G(V, E, RT R). Finally, we prove that our (weak) bipartization algorithm terminates in polynomial time, with high probability, at least w
