SUMMARY:ABC Lecture | Sabine Kastner: Neural dynamics of the primate attention network
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Brain and Cognition! (ABC) \n\nSpeaker: Sabine Kastner\nLocation: Science Park 904\nRoom: SP C0.110\nTitle: Neural dynamics of the primate attention network\nAbstract: The selection of information from our cluttered sensory environments is one of the most fundamental cognitive operations performed by the primate brain. In the visual domain\, the selection process is thought to be mediated by a static spatial mechanism – a ‘spotlight’ that can be flexibly shifted around the visual scene. This spatial search mechanism has been associated with a large-scale network that consists of multiple nodes distributed across all major cortical lobes and includes also subcortical regions. To identify the specific functions of each network node and their functional interactions is a major goal for the field of cognitive neuroscience. In my lecture\, I will give an overview on the neural basis of this fundamental cognitive function and discuss recently discovered rhythmic properties that set up alternating attention states.

SUMMARY:ACLC Seminar | Odette Scharenborg: Inclusive automatic speech recognition: Quantifying and mitigating bias in automatic speech recognisers
DESCRIPTION:Organized by the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication! (ACLC) \n\nSpeaker: Odette Scharenborg\nLocation: P.C. Hoofthuis\nRoom: 1.15\nTitle: Inclusive automatic speech recognition: Quantifying and mitigating bias in automatic speech recognisers\nAbstract: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) is increasingly used\, e.g.\, in emergency response centers\, domestic voice assistants\, and search engines. Because of the paramount relevance spoken language plays in our lives\, it is critical that ASR systems are able to deal with the variability in the way people speak (e.g.\, due to speaker differences\, demographics\, different speaking styles\, and differently abled users). ASR systems promise to deliver objective interpretation of human speech. Practice and recent evidence however suggests that the state-of-the-art SotA ASRs struggle with the large variation in speech due to e.g.\, gender\, age\, speech impairment\, race\, and accents. The overarching goal in our project is to uncover bias in ASR systems to work towards proactive bias mitigation in ASR. In this talk\, I will present systematic experiments aimed at quantifying\, identifying the origin of\, and mitigating the bias of state-of-the-art ASRs on speech from different\, typically low-resource\, groups of speakers\, with a focus on bias against gender\, age\, regional accents and non-native accents.
