How do we understand and interpret complex auditory environments in a way that may depend on some stated goals or intentions? Here, we propose a framework that provides a detailed analysis of the spectrotemporal modulations in the acoustic signal, augmented with a discriminative classifier using multilayer perceptrons. We show that such representation is successful at capturing the non-trivial ...

The main goal of modelling human conversation is to create agents which can interact with people in both open-ended and goal-oriented scenarios. End-to-end trained neural dialog systems are an important line of research for such generalized dialog models as they do not resort to any situation-specific handcrafting of rules. Modelling personalization of conversation in such agents is important f...

The dynamic semantics of LOTOS are defined in terms of axioms and inference rules which generate, from a given behaviour expression, the next possible actions and their resulting behaviour expressions. In this paper, we present a new type of inference rules, which are capable of generating traces of actions leading to a pre-selected action in the specification. These inference rules are guided ...
