Bottleneck Transformer-Based Approach for Improved Automatic STOI Score Prediction

This paper proposes a novel bottleneck transformer architecture that integrates convolutional blocks for frame-level feature extraction and multi-head self-attention for information aggregation to achieve improved non-intrusive prediction of the Short-Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI) metric, outperforming state-of-the-art self-supervised learning models in both seen and unseen scenarios.

Do Spatial Descriptors Improve Multi-DoF Finger Movement Decoding from HD sEMG?

This study demonstrates that while the multichannel linear descriptors-based block field method (MLD-BFM) achieves the highest accuracy in decoding five finger-joint degrees of freedom from HD sEMG, its performance is not statistically superior to conventional time-domain features, though it significantly outperforms dimensionality reduction methods, highlighting the critical importance of preserving spatial resolution in high-density recordings.

Wideband Gaussian Noise Model of Nonlinear Distortions From Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers

This paper develops a wideband Gaussian noise model for semiconductor optical amplifiers that yields a simple, closed-form expression for nonlinear noise-to-signal ratio, demonstrating that accounting for gain compression significantly enhances noise predictions and achieving high accuracy (error < 0.1 dB) when the product of bandwidth and gain recovery time exceeds 100.

A Primer on Evolutionary Frameworks for Near-Field Multi-Source Localization

This paper introduces two novel model-driven evolutionary frameworks, NEMO-DE and NEEF-DE, that leverage differential evolution to perform near-field multi-source localization on continuous spherical-wave models with arbitrary array geometries, effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional grid-based subspace methods and data-dependent deep learning approaches without requiring labeled data or discretized grids.

Electrocardiogram Classification with Transformers Using Koopman and Wavelet Features

This paper demonstrates that while wavelet features excel in binary ECG classification, a transformer-based model utilizing Koopman operator features derived from an optimized Extended Dynamic Mode Decomposition (EDMD) with a radial basis function dictionary achieves superior performance in multi-class ECG classification, outperforming both wavelet-only and hybrid approaches.
