Unveiling Hidden Structures: A Deep Dive into Gaussian Mixture Models In the world of data science, we often encounter datasets that don’t neatly fit into a single, simple distribution. Imagine trying to model the heights of all adults in a country – you’d likely see two peaks, one for men and one for women. How … Read more
In the ever-evolving landscape of modern technology, electromagnetics plays a ubiquitous role, from medical imaging to remote sensing. Understanding how light interacts with various objects and materials is fundamental to diverse fields, but traditional methods for solving electromagnetic scattering problems often demand high-performance computing due to complex geometries or large dimensions. However, my Thesis work … Read more
Unlocking the Spoken Word: A Deep Dive into Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) in the Fearless Steps Project In our increasingly connected world, human-machine interactions through speech have become a cornerstone of modern technology. To elevate these interactions, extracting meaningful information from audio signals is crucial, and that’s where speech processing steps in. The “From SAD … Read more
Unmasking Voices: A Deep Dive into Speaker Identity Detection (SID) in the Fearless Steps Project In the exciting world of human-machine interactions, speech processing is paramount for extracting meaningful information from audio signals.
