SVGC-AVA: 360-Degree Video Saliency Prediction With Spherical Vector-Based Graph Convolution and Audio-Visual Attention

Pascal Frossard, Chenglin Li, Li Wei, Qin Yang, Yuelei Li

Viewers of 360-degree videos are provided with both visual modality to characterize their surrounding views and audio modality to indicate the sound direction. Though both modalities are important for saliency prediction, little work has been done by joint ...

Observation of non-reciprocal harmonic conversion in real sounds

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Xinxin Guo

Reciprocity guarantees that in most media, sound transmission is symmetric between two points of space when the location of the source and receiver are interchanged. This fundamental law can be broken in non-linear media, often at the cost of detrimental i ...

Learning dictionaries of spatial and temporal EEG primitives for brain-computer interfaces

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Benjamin Hamner

Sparse methods are widely used in image and audio processing for denoising and classification, but there have been few previous applications to neural signals for brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). We used the dictionary- learning algorithm K-SVD, coupled w ...
