Pure Pursuit (PP) is a widely used path-tracking algorithm in autonomous vehicles due to its simplicity and real-time performance. However, its effectiveness is sensitive to the choice of lookahead di…
Electric vehicle (EV) public charging infrastructure planning faces significant challenges in competitive markets, where multiple service providers affect congestion and user behavior. This work exten…
We present Bournemouth Forced Aligner (BFA), a system that combines a Contextless Universal Phoneme Encoder (CUPE) with a connectionist temporal classification (CTC)based decoder. BFA introduces expli…
Forced alignment (FA) plays a key role in speech research through the automatic time alignment of speech signals with corresponding text transcriptions. Despite the move towards end-to-end architectur…
In this paper, we present a novel approach for text independent phone-to-audio alignment based on phoneme recognition, representation learning and knowledge transfer. Our method leverages a self-super…
Connectionist temporal classification (CTC) models are known to have peaky output distributions. Such behavior is not a problem for automatic speech recognition (ASR), but it can cause inaccurate forc…
Unleashing the synergies among rapidly evolving mobility technologies in a multi-stakeholder setting presents unique challenges and opportunities for addressing urban transportation problems. This pap…
Forced alignment systems automatically determine boundaries between segments in speech data, given an orthographic transcription. These tools are commonplace in phonetics to facilitate the use of spee…
In this work, we explore how a real time reading tracker can be built efficiently for children's voices. While previously proposed reading trackers focused on ASR-based cascaded approaches, we propose…
The classification of sleep stages plays a crucial role in understanding and diagnosing sleep pathophysiology. Sleep stage scoring relies heavily on visual inspection by an expert that is time consumi…
An electroencephalogram (EEG) signal is currently accepted as a standard for automatic sleep staging. Lately, Near-human accuracy in automated sleep staging has been achievable by Deep Learning (DL) b…
Our team, Hibikino-Musashi@Home (HMA), was founded in 2010. It is based in Japan in the Kitakyushu Science and Research Park. Since 2010, we have annually participated in the RoboCup@Home Japan Open c…
Background and Aim: Each stage of sleep can affect human health, and not getting enough sleep at any stage may lead to sleep disorder like parasomnia, apnea, insomnia, etc. Sleep-related diseases coul…
Automatic Sleep Staging study is presently done with the help of Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Recently, Deep Learning (DL) based approaches have enabled significant progress in this area, allow…
Our team, Hibikino-Musashi@Home (HMA), was founded in 2010. It is based in the Kitakyushu Science and Research Park, Japan. Since 2010, we have participated in the RoboCup@Home Japan Open competition …

Stress is known as one of the major factors threatening human health. A large number of studies have been performed in order to either assess or relieve stress by analyzing the brain and heart-related…
Over the past few years, the Humanoid League rules have changed towards more realistic and challenging game environments, which encourage teams to advance their robot soccer performances. In this pape…
We participated in the RoboCup 2018 competition in Montreal with our newly developed BoldBot based on the Darwin-OP and mostly self-printed custom parts. This paper is about the lessons learnt from th…
This paper proves the concept that it is feasible to accurately recognize specific human mobility shared patterns, based solely on the connection logs between portable devices and WiFi Access Points (…
