Accent conversion aims to convert the accent of a source speech to a target accent, meanwhile preserving the speaker's identity. This paper introduces a novel non-autoregressive framework for accent conversion that learns accent-agnostic linguistic representations and employs them to convert the accent in the source speech. Specifically, the proposed system aligns speech representations with linguistic representations obtained from Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems, enabling training of the accent voice conversion model on non-parallel data. Furthermore, we investigate the effectiveness of a pretraining strategy on native data and different acoustic features within our proposed framework. We conduct a comprehensive evaluation using both subjective and objective metrics to assess the performance of our approach. The evaluation results highlight the benefits of the pretraining strategy and the incorporation of richer semantic features, resulting in significantly enhanced audio quality and intelligibility.

In the context of interactive theorem provers based on a dependent type theory, automation tactics (dedicated decision procedures, call of automated solvers, ...) are often limited to goals which are exactly in some expected logical fragment. This very often prevents users from applying these tactics in other contexts, even similar ones. This paper discusses the design and the implementation of pre-processing operations for automating formal proofs in the Coq proof assistant. It presents the implementation of a wide variety of predictible, atomic goal transformations, which can be composed in various ways to target different backends. A gallery of examples illustrates how it helps to expand significantly the power of automation engines.

By computing a feedback control via the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) approach and simulating a non-linear non-autonomous closed-loop system using this feedback, we combine two numerically challenging tasks. For the first task, the computation of the feedback control, we use the non-autonomous generalized differential Riccati equation (DRE), whose solution determines the time-varying feedback gain matrix. Regarding the second task, we want to be able to simulate non-linear closed-loop systems for which it is known that the regulator is only valid for sufficiently small perturbations. Thus, one easily runs into numerical issues in the integrators when the closed-loop control varies greatly. For these systems, e.g., the A-stable implicit Euler methods fails.\newline On the one hand, we implement non-autonomous versions of splitting schemes and BDF methods for the solution of our non-autonomous DREs. These are well-established DRE solvers in the autonomous case. On the other hand, to tackle the numerical issues in the simulation of the non-linear closed-loop system, we apply a fractional-step-theta scheme with time-adaptivity tuned specifically to this kind of challenge. That is, we additionally base the time-adaptivity on the activity of the control. We compare this approach to the more classical error-based time-adaptivity.\newline We describe techniques to make these two tasks computable in a reasonable amount of time and are able to simulate closed-loop systems with strongly varying controls, while avoiding numerical issues. Our time-adaptivity approach requires fewer time steps than the error-based alternative and is more reliable.

Accurate triangulation of the domain plays a pivotal role in computing the numerical approximation of the differential operators. A good triangulation is the one which aids in reducing discretization errors. In a standard collocation technique, the smooth curved domain is typically triangulated with a mesh by taking points on the boundary to approximate them by polygons. However, such an approach often leads to geometrical errors which directly affect the accuracy of the numerical approximation. To restrict such geometrical errors, \textit{isoparametric}, \textit{subparametric}, and \textit{iso-geometric} methods were introduced which allow the approximation of the curved surfaces (or curved line segments). In this paper, we present an efficient finite element method to approximate the solution to the elliptic boundary value problem (BVP), which governs the response of an elastic solid containing a v-notch and inclusions. The algebraically nonlinear constitutive equation along with the balance of linear momentum reduces to second-order quasi-linear elliptic partial differential equation. Our approach allows us to represent the complex curved boundaries by smooth \textit{one-of-its-kind} point transformation. The main idea is to obtain higher-order shape functions which enable us to accurately compute the entries in the finite element matrices and vectors. A Picard-type linearization is utilized to handle the nonlinearities in the governing differential equation. The numerical results for the test cases show considerable improvement in the accuracy.

Modern regression applications can involve hundreds or thousands of variables which motivates the use of variable selection methods. Bayesian variable selection defines a posterior distribution on the possible subsets of the variables (which are usually termed models) to express uncertainty about which variables are strongly linked to the response. This can be used to provide Bayesian model averaged predictions or inference, and to understand the relative importance of different variables. However, there has been little work on meaningful representations of this uncertainty beyond first order summaries. We introduce Cartesian credible sets to address this gap. The elements of these sets are formed by concatenating sub-models defined on each block of a partition of the variables. Investigating these sub-models allow us to understand whether the models in the Cartesian credible set always/never/sometimes include a particular variable or group of variables and provide a useful summary of model uncertainty. We introduce methods to find these sets that emphasize ease of understanding. The potential of the method is illustrated on regression problems with both small and large numbers of variables.

Zero-shot cross-lingual generation implies finetuning of the multilingual pretrained language model on a generation task in one language and then using it to make predictions for this task in other languages. Previous works notice a frequent problem of generation in a wrong language and propose approaches to address it, usually using mT5 as a backbone model. In this work we compare various approaches proposed from the literature in unified settings, also including alternative backbone models, namely mBART and NLLB-200. We first underline the importance of tuning learning rate used for finetuning, which helps to substantially alleviate the problem of generation in the wrong language. Then, we show that with careful learning rate tuning, the simple full finetuning of the model acts as a very strong baseline and alternative approaches bring only marginal improvements. Finally, we find that mBART performs similarly to mT5 of the same size, and NLLB-200 can be competitive in some cases. Our final models reach the performance of the approach based on data translation which is usually considered as an upper baseline for zero-shot cross-lingual generation.

We introduce a new stochastic algorithm for solving entropic optimal transport (EOT) between two absolutely continuous probability measures $\mu$ and $\nu$. Our work is motivated by the specific setting of Monge-Kantorovich quantiles where the source measure $\mu$ is either the uniform distribution on the unit hypercube or the spherical uniform distribution. Using the knowledge of the source measure, we propose to parametrize a Kantorovich dual potential by its Fourier coefficients. In this way, each iteration of our stochastic algorithm reduces to two Fourier transforms that enables us to make use of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in order to implement a fast numerical method to solve EOT. We study the almost sure convergence of our stochastic algorithm that takes its values in an infinite-dimensional Banach space. Then, using numerical experiments, we illustrate the performances of our approach on the computation of regularized Monge-Kantorovich quantiles. In particular, we investigate the potential benefits of entropic regularization for the smooth estimation of multivariate quantiles using data sampled from the target measure $\nu$.

Local variable selection aims to discover localized effects by assessing the impact of covariates on outcomes within specific regions defined by other covariates. We outline some challenges of local variable selection in the presence of non-linear relationships and model misspecification. Specifically, we highlight a potential drawback of common semi-parametric methods: even slight model misspecification can result in a high rate of false positives. To address these shortcomings, we propose a methodology based on orthogonal cut splines that achieves consistent local variable selection in high-dimensional scenarios. Our approach offers simplicity, handles both continuous and discrete covariates, and provides theory for high-dimensional covariates and model misspecification. We discuss settings with either independent or dependent data. Our proposal allows including adjustment covariates that do not undergo selection, enhancing flexibility in modeling complex scenarios. We illustrate its application in simulation studies with both independent and functional data, as well as with two real datasets. One dataset evaluates salary gaps associated with discrimination factors at different ages, while the other examines the effects of covariates on brain activation over time. The approach is implemented in the R package mombf.

Fourth-order variational inequalities are encountered in various scientific and engineering disciplines, including elliptic optimal control problems and plate obstacle problems. In this paper, we consider additive Schwarz methods for solving fourth-order variational inequalities. Based on a unified framework of various finite element methods for fourth-order variational inequalities, we develop one- and two-level additive Schwarz methods. We prove that the two-level method is scalable in the sense that the convergence rate of the method depends on $H/h$ and $H/\delta$ only, where $h$ and $H$ are the typical diameters of an element and a subdomain, respectively, and $\delta$ measures the overlap among the subdomains. This proof relies on a new nonlinear positivity-preserving coarse interpolation operator, the construction of which was previously unknown. To the best of our knowledge, this analysis represents the first investigation into the scalability of the two-level additive Schwarz method for fourth-order variational inequalities. Our theoretical results are verified by numerical experiments.

Recent advances in large language models using deep learning techniques have renewed interest on how languages can be learned from data. However, it is unclear whether or how these models represent grammatical information from the learned languages. In addition, the models must be pre-trained on large corpora before they can be used. In this work, we propose an alternative, more transparent and cognitively plausible architecture for learning language. Instead of using deep learning, our approach uses a minimal cognitive architecture based on sequence memory and chunking. The learning mechanism is based on the principles of reinforcement learning. We test our architecture on a number of natural-like toy languages. Results show that the model can learn these artificial languages from scratch and extract grammatical information that supports learning. Our study demonstrates the power of this simple architecture and stresses the importance of sequence memory as a key component of the language learning process. Since other animals do not seem to have a faithful sequence memory, this may explain why only humans have developed complex languages.

For a model convection-diffusion problem, we obtain new error estimates for a general upwinding finite element discretization based on bubble modification of the test space. The key analysis tool is based on finding representations of the optimal norms on the trial spaces at the continuous and discrete levels. We analyze and compare the standard linear discretization, the saddle point least square and upwinding Petrov-Galerkin methods. We conclude that the bubble upwinding Petrov-Galerkin method is the most performant discretization for the one dimensional model. Our results for the model convection-diffusion problem can be extended for creating new and efficient discretizations for the multidimensional cases.
