The occurrence of extreme events like heavy precipitation or storms at a certain location often shows a clustering behaviour and is thus not described well by a Poisson process. We construct a general model for the inter-exceedance times in between such events which combines different candidate models for such behaviour. This allows us to distinguish data generating mechanisms leading to clusters of dependent events with exponential inter-exceedance times in between clusters from independent events with heavy-tailed inter-exceedance times, and even allows us to combine these two mechanisms for better descriptions of such occurrences. We investigate a modification of the Cram\'er-von Mises distance for the purpose of model fitting. An application to mid-latitude winter cyclones illustrates the usefulness of our work.

Benefiting from the development of deep learning, text-to-speech (TTS) techniques using clean speech have achieved significant performance improvements. The data collected from real scenes often contain noise and generally needs to be denoised by speech enhancement models. Noise-robust TTS models are often trained using the enhanced speech, which thus suffer from speech distortion and background noise that affect the quality of the synthesized speech. Meanwhile, it was shown that self-supervised pre-trained models exhibit excellent noise robustness on many speech tasks, implying that the learned representation has a better tolerance for noise perturbations. In this work, we therefore explore pre-trained models to improve the noise robustness of TTS models. Based on HIFI-GAN we first propose a representation-to-waveform vocoder, which aims to learn to map the representation of pre-trained models to the waveform. We then propose a text-to-representation Fastspeech2 model, which aims to learn to map text to pre-trained model representations. Experimental results on the LJSpeech and LibriTTS datasets show that our method outperforms those using speech enhancement methods in both subjective and objective metrics.

We study a class of Gaussian processes for which the posterior mean, for a particular choice of data, replicates a truncated Taylor expansion of any order. The data consist of derivative evaluations at the expansion point and the prior covariance kernel belongs to the class of Taylor kernels, which can be written in a certain power series form. We discuss and prove some results on maximum likelihood estimation of parameters of Taylor kernels. The proposed framework is a special case of Gaussian process regression based on data that is orthogonal in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space of the covariance kernel.

This note shows how to compute, to high relative accuracy under mild assumptions, complex Jacobi rotations for diagonalization of Hermitian matrices of order two, using the correctly rounded functions $\mathtt{cr\_hypot}$ and $\mathtt{cr\_rsqrt}$, proposed for standardization in the C programming language as recommended by the IEEE-754 floating-point standard. The rounding to nearest (ties to even) and the non-stop arithmetic are assumed. The numerical examples compare the observed with theoretical bounds on the relative errors in the rotations' elements, and show that the maximal observed departure of the rotations' determinants from unity is smaller than that of the transformations computed by LAPACK.

In the symbolic verification of cryptographic protocols, a central problem is deciding whether a protocol admits an execution which leaks a designated secret to the malicious intruder. Rusinowitch & Turuani (2003) show that, when considering finitely many sessions, this ``insecurity problem'' is NP-complete. Central to their proof strategy is the observation that any execution of a protocol can be simulated by one where the intruder only communicates terms of bounded size. However, when we consider models where, in addition to terms, one can also communicate logical statements about terms, the analysis of the insecurity problem becomes tricky when both these inference systems are considered together. In this paper we consider the insecurity problem for protocols with logical statements that include {\em equality on terms} and {\em existential quantification}. Witnesses for existential quantifiers may be unbounded, and obtaining small witness terms while maintaining equality proofs complicates the analysis considerably. We extend techniques from Rusinowitch & Turuani (2003) to show that this problem is also in NP.

This paper considers a Bayesian approach for inclusion detection in nonlinear inverse problems using two known and popular push-forward prior distributions: the star-shaped and level set prior distributions. We analyze the convergence of the corresponding posterior distributions in a small measurement noise limit. The methodology is general; it works for priors arising from any H\"older continuous transformation of Gaussian random fields and is applicable to a range of inverse problems. The level set and star-shaped prior distributions are examples of push-forward priors under H\"older continuous transformations that take advantage of the structure of inclusion detection problems. We show that the corresponding posterior mean converges to the ground truth in a proper probabilistic sense. Numerical tests on a two-dimensional quantitative photoacoustic tomography problem showcase the approach. The results highlight the convergence properties of the posterior distributions and the ability of the methodology to detect inclusions with sufficiently regular boundaries.

White matter bundle segmentation is a cornerstone of modern tractography to study the brain's structural connectivity in domains such as neurological disorders, neurosurgery, and aging. In this study, we present FIESTA (FIbEr Segmentation in Tractography using Autoencoders), a reliable and robust, fully automated, and easily semi-automatically calibrated pipeline based on deep autoencoders that can dissect and fully populate white matter bundles. This pipeline is built upon previous works that demonstrated how autoencoders can be used successfully for streamline filtering, bundle segmentation, and streamline generation in tractography. Our proposed method improves bundle segmentation coverage by recovering hard-to-track bundles with generative sampling through the latent space seeding of the subject bundle and the atlas bundle. A latent space of streamlines is learned using autoencoder-based modeling combined with contrastive learning. Using an atlas of bundles in standard space (MNI), our proposed method segments new tractograms using the autoencoder latent distance between each tractogram streamline and its closest neighbor bundle in the atlas of bundles. Intra-subject bundle reliability is improved by recovering hard-to-track streamlines, using the autoencoder to generate new streamlines that increase the spatial coverage of each bundle while remaining anatomically correct. Results show that our method is more reliable than state-of-the-art automated virtual dissection methods such as RecoBundles, RecoBundlesX, TractSeg, White Matter Analysis and XTRACT. Our framework allows for the transition from one anatomical bundle definition to another with marginal calibration efforts. Overall, these results show that our framework improves the practicality and usability of current state-of-the-art bundle segmentation framework.

The design of automatic speech pronunciation assessment can be categorized into closed and open response scenarios, each with strengths and limitations. A system with the ability to function in both scenarios can cater to diverse learning needs and provide a more precise and holistic assessment of pronunciation skills. In this study, we propose a Multi-task Pronunciation Assessment model called MultiPA. MultiPA provides an alternative to Kaldi-based systems in that it has simpler format requirements and better compatibility with other neural network models. Compared with previous open response systems, MultiPA provides a wider range of evaluations, encompassing assessments at both the sentence and word-level. Our experimental results show that MultiPA achieves comparable performance when working in closed response scenarios and maintains more robust performance when directly used for open responses.

Conventional entity typing approaches are based on independent classification paradigms, which make them difficult to recognize inter-dependent, long-tailed and fine-grained entity types. In this paper, we argue that the implicitly entailed extrinsic and intrinsic dependencies between labels can provide critical knowledge to tackle the above challenges. To this end, we propose \emph{Label Reasoning Network(LRN)}, which sequentially reasons fine-grained entity labels by discovering and exploiting label dependencies knowledge entailed in the data. Specifically, LRN utilizes an auto-regressive network to conduct deductive reasoning and a bipartite attribute graph to conduct inductive reasoning between labels, which can effectively model, learn and reason complex label dependencies in a sequence-to-set, end-to-end manner. Experiments show that LRN achieves the state-of-the-art performance on standard ultra fine-grained entity typing benchmarks, and can also resolve the long tail label problem effectively.

Although measuring held-out accuracy has been the primary approach to evaluate generalization, it often overestimates the performance of NLP models, while alternative approaches for evaluating models either focus on individual tasks or on specific behaviors. Inspired by principles of behavioral testing in software engineering, we introduce CheckList, a task-agnostic methodology for testing NLP models. CheckList includes a matrix of general linguistic capabilities and test types that facilitate comprehensive test ideation, as well as a software tool to generate a large and diverse number of test cases quickly. We illustrate the utility of CheckList with tests for three tasks, identifying critical failures in both commercial and state-of-art models. In a user study, a team responsible for a commercial sentiment analysis model found new and actionable bugs in an extensively tested model. In another user study, NLP practitioners with CheckList created twice as many tests, and found almost three times as many bugs as users without it.
