Principles of Network Plasticity in Neocortical Microcircuits

András Ecker

Synaptic plasticity underlies our ability to learn and adapt to the constantly changing environment. The phenomenon of synapses changing their efficacy in an activity-dependent manner is often studied in small groups of neurons in vitro or indirectly throu ...

Learned Compressive Representations for Single-Photon 3D Imaging

Claudio Bruschini, Edoardo Charbon, Andrei Ardelean, Mohit Gupta

Single-photon 3D cameras can record the time-of-arrival of billions of photons per second with picosecond accuracy. One common approach to summarize the photon data stream is to build a per-pixel timestamp histogram, resulting in a 3D histogram tensor that ...

From Undercomplete to Sparse Overcomplete Autoencoders to Improve LF-MMI Speech Recognition

Hervé Bourlard, Selen Hande Kabil

Starting from a strong Lattice-Free Maximum Mutual Information (LF-MMI) baseline system, we explore different autoencoder configurations to enhance Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) features. Autoencoders are expected to generate new MFCC features ...

A Structured Dictionary Perspective on Implicit Neural Representations

Pascal Frossard, Beril Besbinar, Guillermo Ortiz Jimenez, Gizem Yüce

Implicit neural representations (INRs) have recently emerged as a promising alternative to classical discretized representations of signals. Nevertheless, despite their practical success, we still do not understand how INRs represent signals. We propose a ...

Spike-Based Sensing and Communication for Highly Energy-Efficient Sensor Edge Nodes

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Teodor Rosca

Highly energy-efficient wireless sensor nodes are a prerequisite for a sustainable operation of the Internet of things. Therefore, classical approaches for system design based on digital signal processing are not a viable solution, but system design has to ...

Sound Field Reconstruction in a room through Sparse Recovery and its application in Room Modal Equalization

Vu Thach Pham

The acoustics of a room often refer to the quality of the room in terms of sound recording as well as sound reproduction. At low frequencies, where the wavelengths are of the same order of magnitude with the dimensions of the room, due to the standing wave ...
