14 p, 24.8 MB Colour constancy : biologically-inspired contrast variant pooling mechanism / Akbarinia, Arash (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya)) ; Gil Rodríguez, Raquel (Universitat Pompeu Fabra. Departament de Tecnologies de la Informació i les Comunicacions) ; Parraga, Carlos Alejandro (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament de Ciències de la Computació)
Pooling is a ubiquitous operation in image processing algorithms that allows for higher-level processes to collect relevant low-level features from a region of interest. Currently, max-pooling is one of the most commonly used operators in the computational literature. [...]

5 p, 944.6 KB Perceptual training affects L2 perception but not cross-linguistic similarity / Cebrian, Juli (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Carlet Foresti, Angelica (Universitat Internacional de Catalunya) ; Gorba, Celia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Gavaldà Ferre, Nuria (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)
L2 learners need to detect differences between native and target language sounds in order to categorize them, and thus perceive and produce them, accurately. The current high variability perceptual training study explored the effect of identification and discrimination training on the perceived similarity between Spanish and English vowels and on the ability to identify and discriminate target English sounds.

4 p, 176.3 KB Reciprocal measures of perceived similarity / Cebrian, Juli (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)
This paper reports the results of two experiments aimed at assessing the perceived similarity between a set of English and Catalan vowels from the perspective of native speakers of both languages. Two groups of 27 listeners, a group of native English speakers and a group of native Catalan speakers, used a 9-point scale to rate the degree of similarity between two stimuli. [...]

12 p, 648.1 KB Investigating the role of cognate status in L2 production and perception / Gorba, Celia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Susana, Cortés (Universitat de les Illes Balears) ; Cebrian, Juli (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Gavaldà Ferre, Nuria (Universidad Internacional de La Rioja) ; Congreso Internacional de Fonética Experimental (8è:2021:Girona)
This paper presents the results of two exploratory studies on the effect of cognate status on the perception and production of L2 sounds. Previous studies show that cognate words are more likely to be mispronounced by L2 speakers than non-cognates, but whether the influence of the L1 is modulated by L2 experience is unclear. [...]

13 p, 490.0 KB Does metalinguistic knowledge about the L2 enhance the effectiveness of L2 perceptual training? / Carlet Foresti, Angelica (Universitat Internacional de Catalunya) ; Cebrian, Juli (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) ; Gavaldà, Nuria (Universidad Internacional de La Rioja) ; Gorba, Celia (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)
This paper examines the role of metalinguistic knowledge in the ability to perceive L2 vowel sounds, generalize and retain knowledge as a result of high variability phonetic training (HVPT). Native Catalan/Spanish speakers with different levels of L2 experience underwent identification (ID) or discrimination (DIS) training regimes. [...]

Studies on cross-linguistic influence often investigate the effect of the L1 on subsequently learned languages. This paper reports the results of two studies exploring the effect of language learning on the perception of VOT in the L2/L3 but also in the L1. [...]

This paper examines the relationship between perceived similarity between first language (L1) and second language (L2) vowels and discrimination of L2 vowel pairs in light of L2 speech models'predictions on L2 vowel discrimination. [...]

Models of second language speech (L2) base their predictions about perception and production of L2 sounds on the degree of similarity between native and non-native sounds. This study presents the results of a cross-linguistic perception experiment involving English and Catalan vowels. [...]

18 p, 4.7 MB Metric learning for novelty and anomaly detection / Masana, Marc (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya)) ; Ruiz López, Idoia (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya)) ; Serrat Gual, Joan (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya)) ; Weijer, Joost van de (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya)) ; López Peña, Antonio M. (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya))
When neural networks process images which do not resemble the distribution seen during training, so called out-of-distribution images, they often make wrong predictions, and do so too confidently. The capability to detect out-of-distribution images is therefore crucial for many real-world applications. [...]

Desde hace algo más de una década la dimensión de "tiempo" se ha convertido en un de las dimensiones clave para el estudio, análisis y comprensión de las relaciones de género. El enfoque más tradicional de estudio de las relaciones de género a partir de la división del trabajo y de la distribución de actividades entre hombres y mujeres se ve ahora re-pensado desde la compleja y conflictiva "arquitectura temporal" en la que se apoyan.
