GPT4 : The Ultimate Brain (2022)
Working Paper
Adesso, G. GPT4 : The Ultimate Brain

We introduce a powerful general probabilistic theory, GPT4, that extends classical and quantum theories to include higher-dimensional probabilistic models. GPT4 results from the four-fold integration of GPT in physics (Generalized Probabilistic T... Read More about GPT4 : The Ultimate Brain.

ScoutWav: Two-Step Fine-Tuning on Self-Supervised Automatic Speech Recognition for Low-Resource Environments (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Fatehi, K., Torres, M. T., & Kucukyilmaz, A. (2022). ScoutWav: Two-Step Fine-Tuning on Self-Supervised Automatic Speech Recognition for Low-Resource Environments. In Proceedings of Interspeech 2022 (3523-3527). https://doi.org/10.21437/Interspeech.2022-10270

Recent improvements in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems obtain extraordinary results. However, there are specific domains where training data can be either limited or not representative enough, which are known as Low-Resource Environments (...

A confirmatory factorial analysis of the Chatbot Usability Scale: a multilanguage validation (2022)
Journal Article
Borsci, S., Schmettow, M., Malizia, A., Chamberlain, A., & van der Velde, F. (2023). A confirmatory factorial analysis of the Chatbot Usability Scale: a multilanguage validation. Personal and Ubiquitous Computing, 27, 317–330. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00779-022-01690-0

The Bot Usability Scale (BUS) is a standardised tool to assess and compare the satisfaction of users after interacting with chatbots to support the development of usable conversational systems. The English version of the 15-item BUS scale (BUS-15) wa... Read More about A confirmatory factorial analysis of the Chatbot Usability Scale: a multilanguage validation.

Push-to-See: Learning Non-Prehensile Manipulation to Enhance Instance Segmentation via Deep Q-Learning (2022)
Conference Proceeding
Serhan, B., Pandya, H., Kucukyilmaz, A., & Neumann, G. (2022). Push-to-See: Learning Non-Prehensile Manipulation to Enhance Instance Segmentation via Deep Q-Learning. In IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA 2022) (1513-1519). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICRA46639.2022.9811645

Efficient robotic manipulation of objects for sorting and searching often rely upon how well the objects are perceived and the available grasp poses. The challenge arises when the objects are irregular, have similar visual features (e.g., textureless...
