For immigrants, language preservation is crucial to maintain their identity, but the process of immigration can put a strain on a community's ability to do so. We interviewed eight Nepali immigrants t…
Automatic music genre classification is a long-standing challenge in Music Information Retrieval (MIR); work on non-Western music traditions remains scarce. Nepali music encompasses culturally rich an…
Nepali, a low-resource language, faces significant challenges in building an effective information retrieval system due to the unavailability of annotated data and computational linguistic resources. …
This research presents a few-shot voice cloning system for Nepali speakers, designed to synthesize speech in a specific speaker's voice from Devanagari text using minimal data. Voice cloning in Nepali…
Despite the prevalence of severe hearing loss affecting over 430 million people globally, access to sign language interpretation remains critically scarce, particularly in low-resource settings like N…
Social media platforms have transformed global communication and interaction, with TikTok emerging as a critical tool for education, connection, and social impact, including in contexts where infrastr…
Urban noise pollution poses a significant threat to public health, yet existing monitoring infrastructures offer limited spatial coverage and adaptability. This paper presents a scalable, low-cost, Io…
Calibrated trust in automated systems (Lee and See 2004) is critical for their safe and seamless integration into society. Users should only rely on a system recommendation when it is actually correct…
Pressure sensors are an integrated component of modern Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. As these pressure sensors operate within the 0-10 Pa range, support high sampling freq…
Language students can increase their effectiveness in learning written Japanese by mastering the visual structure and written technique of Japanese kanji. Yet, existing kanji handwriting recognition s…
Voice cloning is a prominent feature in personalized speech interfaces. A neural vocal cloning system can mimic someone's voice using just a few audio samples. Both speaker encoding and speaker adapta…
Popular and news media often portray teenagers with sensationalism, as both a risk to society and at risk from society. As AI begins to absorb some of the epistemic functions of traditional media, we …
This research compares PDF parsing and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) methods for extracting Nepali content from PDFs. PDF parsing offers fast and accurate extraction but faces challenges with no…
In this paper, we examine the research conducted in the field of Nepali Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The primary objective of this survey is to conduct a comprehensive review of the works on Ne…
Long term exposure to biased content in literature or media can significantly influence people's perceptions of reality, leading to the development of implicit biases that are difficult to detect and …
High-performance computing (HPC) clusters are widely used in-house at scientific and academic research institutions. For some users, the transition from running their analyses on a single workstation …
Convalescent plasma and hyperimmune immunoglobulin may reduce mortality in patients with viral respiratory diseases, and are currently being investigated in trials as potential therapy for coronavirus…
Debate about the adoption of digital contact tracing (DCT) apps to control the spread of COVID-19 has focussed on risks to individual privacy (Sharma & Bashir 2020, Tang 2020). This emphasis reveals s…
In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted wireless network is considered in which a battery-constrained UAV is assumed to move towards energy-constrained ground nodes to receive status …
A majority of the work on digital privacy and security has focused on users from developed countries who account for only around 20\% of the global population. Moreover, the privacy needs for populati…
