GROWN+UP: A Graph Representation Of a Webpage Network Utilizing Pre-training

Large pre-trained neural networks are ubiquitous and critical to the success of many downstream tasks in natural language processing and computer vision. However, within the field of web information retrieval, there is a stark contrast in the lack of similarly flexible and powerful pre-trained models that can properly parse webpages. Consequently, we believe that common machine learning tasks like content extraction and information mining from webpages have low-hanging gains that yet remain untapped. We aim to close the gap by introducing an agnostic deep graph neural network feature extractor that can ingest webpage structures, pre-train self-supervised on massive unlabeled data, and fine-tune to arbitrary tasks on webpages effectually. Finally, we show that our pre-trained model achieves state-of-the-art results using multiple datasets on two very different benchmarks: webpage boilerplate removal and genre classification, thus lending support to its potential application in diverse downstream tasks.Comment: Submitted to CIKM '2

Synthetic Voice Detection and Audio Splicing Detection using SE-Res2Net-Conformer Architecture

Synthetic voice and splicing audio clips have been generated to spoof Internet users and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies such as voice authentication. Existing research work treats spoofing countermeasures as a binary classification problem: bonafide vs. spoof. This paper extends the existing Res2Net by involving the recent Conformer block to further exploit the local patterns on acoustic features. Experimental results on ASVspoof 2019 database show that the proposed SE-Res2Net-Conformer architecture is able to improve the spoofing countermeasures performance for the logical access scenario. In addition, this paper also proposes to re-formulate the existing audio splicing detection problem. Instead of identifying the complete splicing segments, it is more useful to detect the boundaries of the spliced segments. Moreover, a deep learning approach can be used to solve the problem, which is different from the previous signal processing techniques.Comment: Accepted by the 13th International Symposium on Chinese Spoken Language Processing (ISCSLP 2022

The Effect of Transparent Conducting Oxide Films on WO₃-Based Electrochromic Devices with Conducting Polymer Electrolytes

Over the past few decades, electrochromism has been a prominent topic in energy-saving applications, which is based on the mechanism of altering the optical transmittance of EC materials under the effect of a small applied voltage. Thus, tungsten oxide (WO3) is a significant chemical compound typically applied in electrochromic devices (ECDs) as it is responsible for the optical transmittance variation. In this work, the WO3 films were produced through a sol–gel spin-coating method. The effect of various transparent conducting oxides (TCOs, which are indium-doped tin oxide (ITO), fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates, and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO)) was investigated in the construction of ECDs. Based on a conducting polymer polypyrene carbonate electrolyte, ITO and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO)-coated glasses were also examined as counter electrodes. The electrode combination employing FTO and ITO as the TCO and counter electrode, respectively, exhibited the most significant coloration efficiency of 72.53 cm2/C. It had coloring and bleaching transmittance of 14% and 56%, respectively, with a large optical modulation of 42%. In addition to that, ECDs with the AZO counter electrode have the advantage of lower intercalation charges compared to ITO and FTO. Hence, this research offers a new avenue for understanding the role of common TCO and counter electrodes in the development of WO3-based ECDs with conducting polymer electrolytes

Radio frequency magnetron sputter deposited ZnO films doped with Al, Ga and Ti

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a key material in the field of transparent large-area electronics. Some of the ZnO applications in large-area electronics include sensors, transistors and solar cells. In this work, ZnO films doped with aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga) and titanium (Ti) with different doping concentrations were deposited on glass substrates via the radio frequency (R.F.) plasma magnetron sputtering technique. The correlations of different doping concentration with the structural, optical and electrical properties were investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy, Ultraviolet–Visible Spectrometer and Hall Electronic Transport Measurement System, respectively
