Recently, there has been a growing interest in text-to-speech (TTS) methods that can be trained with minimal supervision by combining two types of discrete speech representations and using two sequence-to-sequence tasks to decouple TTS. However, existing methods suffer from three problems: the high dimensionality and waveform distortion of discrete speech representations, the prosodic averaging problem caused by the duration prediction model in non-autoregressive frameworks, and the information redundancy and dimension explosion problems of existing semantic encoding methods. To address these problems, three progressive methods are proposed. First, we propose Diff-LM-Speech, an autoregressive structure consisting of a language model and diffusion models, which models the semantic embedding into the mel-spectrogram based on a diffusion model to achieve higher audio quality. We also introduce a prompt encoder structure based on a variational autoencoder and a prosody bottleneck to improve prompt representation ability. Second, we propose Tetra-Diff-Speech, a non-autoregressive structure consisting of four diffusion model-based modules that design a duration diffusion model to achieve diverse prosodic expressions. Finally, we propose Tri-Diff-Speech, a non-autoregressive structure consisting of three diffusion model-based modules that verify the non-necessity of existing semantic encoding models and achieve the best results. Experimental results show that our proposed methods outperform baseline methods. We provide a website with audio samples.

Over the last years, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have seen significant advancements in sensor capabilities and computational abilities, allowing for efficient autonomous navigation and visual tracking applications. However, the demand for computationally complex tasks has increased faster than advances in battery technology. This opens up possibilities for improvements using edge computing. In edge computing, edge servers can achieve lower latency responses compared to traditional cloud servers through strategic geographic deployments. Furthermore, these servers can maintain superior computational performance compared to UAVs, as they are not limited by battery constraints. Combining these technologies by aiding UAVs with edge servers, research finds measurable improvements in task completion speed, energy efficiency, and reliability across multiple applications and industries. This systematic literature review aims to analyze the current state of research and collect, select, and extract the key areas where UAV activities can be supported and improved through edge computing.

Large language models (LLMs) have been shown to possess impressive capabilities, while also raising crucial concerns about the faithfulness of their responses. A primary issue arising in this context is the management of unanswerable queries by LLMs, which often results in hallucinatory behavior, due to overconfidence. In this paper, we explore the behavior of LLMs when presented with unanswerable queries. We ask: do models \textbf{represent} the fact that the question is unanswerable when generating a hallucinatory answer? Our results show strong indications that such models encode the answerability of an input query, with the representation of the first decoded token often being a strong indicator. These findings shed new light on the spatial organization within the latent representations of LLMs, unveiling previously unexplored facets of these models. Moreover, they pave the way for the development of improved decoding techniques with better adherence to factual generation, particularly in scenarios where query unanswerability is a concern.

Retrieval-enhanced methods have become a primary approach in fact verification (FV); it requires reasoning over multiple retrieved pieces of evidence to verify the integrity of a claim. To retrieve evidence, existing work often employs off-the-shelf retrieval models whose design is based on the probability ranking principle. We argue that, rather than relevance, for FV we need to focus on the utility that a claim verifier derives from the retrieved evidence. We introduce the feedback-based evidence retriever(FER) that optimizes the evidence retrieval process by incorporating feedback from the claim verifier. As a feedback signal we use the divergence in utility between how effectively the verifier utilizes the retrieved evidence and the ground-truth evidence to produce the final claim label. Empirical studies demonstrate the superiority of FER over prevailing baselines.

Sensing and communications (S&C) have been historically developed in parallel. In recent decade, they have been evolving from separation to integration, giving rise to the integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) paradigm, that has been recognized as one of the six key 6G usage scenarios. Despite the plethora of research works dedicated to ISAC signal processing, the fundamental performance limits of S&C remain widely unexplored in an ISAC system. In this tutorial paper, we attempt to summarize the recent research findings in characterizing the performance boundary of ISAC systems and the resulting S&C tradeoff from an information-theoretical viewpoint. We begin with a folklore "torch metaphor" that depicts the resource competition mechanism of S&C. Then, we elaborate on the fundamental capacity-distortion (C-D) theory, indicating the incompleteness of this metaphor. Towards that end, we further elaborate on the S&C tradeoff by discussing a special case within the C-D framework, namely the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB)-rate region. In particular, S&C have preference discrepancies over both the subspace occupied by the transmitted signal and the adopted codebook, leading to a "projector metaphor" complementary to the ISAC torch analogy. We also present two practical design examples by leveraging the lessons learned from fundamental theories. Finally, we conclude the paper by identifying a number of open challenges.

In the field of Artificial (General) Intelligence (AI), the several recent advancements in Natural language processing (NLP) activities relying on Large Language Models (LLMs) have come to encourage the adoption of LLMs as scientific models of language. While the terminology employed for the characterization of LLMs favors their embracing as such, it is not clear that they are in a place to offer insights into the target system they seek to represent. After identifying the most important theoretical and empirical risks brought about by the adoption of scientific models that lack transparency, we discuss LLMs relating them to every scientific model's fundamental components: the object, the medium, the meaning and the user. We conclude that, at their current stage of development, LLMs hardly offer any explanations for language, and then we provide an outlook for more informative future research directions on this topic.

Vision Transformers (ViTs) are becoming more popular and dominating technique for various vision tasks, compare to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). As a demanding technique in computer vision, ViTs have been successfully solved various vision problems while focusing on long-range relationships.

Next, we provide a comprehensive overview of recent top-performing ViT methods describing in terms of strength and weakness, computational cost as well as training and testing dataset. We thoroughly compare the performance of various ViT algorithms and most representative CNN methods on popular benchmark datasets. Finally, we explore some limitations with insightful observations and provide further research direction.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in the autonomous driving sector, particularly in generalization and interpretability. We introduce a unique object-level multimodal LLM architecture that merges vectorized numeric modalities with a pre-trained LLM to improve context understanding in driving situations. We also present a new dataset of 160k QA pairs derived from 10k driving scenarios, paired with high quality control commands collected with RL agent and question answer pairs generated by teacher LLM (GPT-3.5). A distinct pretraining strategy is devised to align numeric vector modalities with static LLM representations using vector captioning language data. We also introduce an evaluation metric for Driving QA and demonstrate our LLM-driver's proficiency in interpreting driving scenarios, answering questions, and decision-making. Our findings highlight the potential of LLM-based driving action generation in comparison to traditional behavioral cloning. We make our benchmark, datasets, and model available for further exploration.

Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, are fundamentally tools trained on vast data, reflecting diverse societal impressions. This paper aims to investigate LLMs' self-perceived bias concerning indigeneity when simulating scenarios of indigenous people performing various roles. Through generating and analyzing multiple scenarios, this work offers a unique perspective on how technology perceives and potentially amplifies societal biases related to indigeneity in social computing. The findings offer insights into the broader implications of indigeneity in critical computing.

Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) have been widely utilized to support the decisions made by cardiologists when detecting and classifying arrhythmia from electrocardiograms (ECGs). However, forming a CDSS for the arrhythmia classification task is challenging due to the varying lengths of arrhythmias. Although the onset time of arrhythmia varies, previously developed methods have not considered such conditions. Thus, we propose a framework that consists of (i) local temporal information extraction, (ii) global pattern extraction, and (iii) local-global information fusion with attention to perform arrhythmia detection and classification with a constrained input length. The 10-class and 4-class performances of our approach were assessed by detecting the onset and offset of arrhythmia as an episode and the duration of arrhythmia based on the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database (MITDB) and MIT-BIH atrial fibrillation database (AFDB), respectively. The results were statistically superior to those achieved by the comparison models. To check the generalization ability of the proposed method, an AFDB-trained model was tested on the MITDB, and superior performance was attained compared with that of a state-of-the-art model. The proposed method can capture local-global information and dynamics without incurring information losses. Therefore, arrhythmias can be recognized more accurately, and their occurrence times can be calculated; thus, the clinical field can create more accurate treatment plans by using the proposed method.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have been studied from the lens of expressive power and generalization. However, their optimization properties are less well understood. We take the first step towards analyzing GNN training by studying the gradient dynamics of GNNs. First, we analyze linearized GNNs and prove that despite the non-convexity of training, convergence to a global minimum at a linear rate is guaranteed under mild assumptions that we validate on real-world graphs. Second, we study what may affect the GNNs' training speed. Our results show that the training of GNNs is implicitly accelerated by skip connections, more depth, and/or a good label distribution. Empirical results confirm that our theoretical results for linearized GNNs align with the training behavior of nonlinear GNNs. Our results provide the first theoretical support for the success of GNNs with skip connections in terms of optimization, and suggest that deep GNNs with skip connections would be promising in practice.
