Single channel multi-talker speech separation with deep learning
Published 2020“…With these explicit temporal information as supervision and features, the temporal continuity, that is broken by windowing effect between frames, is bridged. The speech separation network is optimized through a multi-task learning framework with a subtask to predict an attribute (silence, single, and overlapped) for each time-frequency (TF) bin of the mixture magnitude. …”

Incommensurate structure of melilite-type electrolyte : synthesis, crystal chemistry and ion conduction
Published 2014“…Melilites ([A2]2[BI]2[BII2O7]2) are layered oxides containing distorted pentagonal rings, constructed from BO4 tetrahedra, whose basic structure can be ‘modulated’ to accommodate misfit between the interlayer spacing and the bridging A cations. While prototypically regarded as possessing a tetragonal unit cell metric with atoms distributed in accord with space group , these materials are often incommensurate and are best described in higher dimensional superspace. …”

Addressing an old issue from a new methodological perspective: a proposition on how to deal with bias due to multilevel measurement error in the estimation of the effects of school...
Published 2014“…The originality of Study 2 lies in verifying BFLPEs for students as young as five to eight/nine years old. Bridging the findings related to students' mathematics self-concept (Study 2) and the findings on students’ mathematics achievements (Study 1a), I demonstrate that the prevalence of BFLPEs with the English data partly explains the negative compositional effect of school average mathematics achievement on students' subsequent mathematics achievement.…”
