Phonetic Error Analysis of Raw Waveform Acoustic Models

Announce Type: new Abstract: We analyse error patterns of raw waveform acoustic models on TIMIT phone recognition beyond the overall phone error rate (PER). PER is decomposed across three broad phonetic class (BPC) categorisations, and confusion matrices are constructed from substitution errors. Our models combine parametric (SincNet, Sinc2Net) or non-parametric CNNs with Bidirectional LSTMs, achieving 13.9%/15.3% PER on Dev/Test, the best reported results for raw waveform models on TIMIT.

Chinese man rescued after 7-day sea ordeal; endures hallucinations, eats raw crabs to survive

Chinese man rescued after 7-day sea ordeal; endures hallucinations, eats raw crabs to survive Tourist suffers from oozing skin sores due to overexposure to the sun, fishermen find him hanging onto a buoy in a ‘delirious’ state A Chinese man who was left floating in the sea for seven days has miraculously survived by eating raw crabs. The man, surnamed Qin, was rescued by two fishermen from Chengmai county of southern Hainan province in early June following his harrowing experience at sea,...

Show HN: HTTP/3 and raw QUIC client/server APIs for Node.js

I built this because I wanted to make outbound and accept inbound HTTP/3 and raw QUIC connections from ordinary Node.js code, without building Node from source or putting everything behind a reverse proxy. Repo: https://github.com/currentspace/http3 npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@currentspace/http3It’s a native package around Rust/quiche.

A machine-learning-assisted progressive digit-randomness screening framework for detecting non-random patterns in raw numerical research data

Announce Type: new Abstract: Raw numerical datasets remain less systematically examined in integrity screening than images, plagiarism, or summary-statistic inconsistencies. We developed the Fabrication-risk Digit Randomness Screening model (FDRS), a statistical and machine-learning framework for detecting non-random digit-pattern irregularities in numerical research data. FDRS integrates single- and joint-decimal-digit tests, Cramer's V, entropy metrics, Kullback-Leibler divergence,...

WavTTS: Towards High-Quality Zero-Shot TTS via Direct Raw Waveform Modeling

arXiv:2606.03455v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, diffusion models operating on VAE latents or mel-spectrograms have become the dominant paradigm for zero-shot TTS. Although these compressed representations improve generation efficiency, they inevitably suffer from information loss and non-end-to-end training. Theoretically, directly modeling raw waveforms circumvents these issues; however, this direction remains underexplored and is often deemed difficult due to the extremely long...

Jacob Fatu acknowledges Roman Reigns, Bron Breakker spears Paul Heyman and more from 'Monday Night Raw'

A solemn Jacob Fatu made his way to the ring to kickoff "Monday Night Raw" following his Tribal Combat loss to world heavyweight champion Roman Reigns at Clash in Italy with the crowd in Turin wondering whether he would participate in the "Acknowledgement Ceremony. "Reigns was surrounded by his Bloodline stablemates, Jey and Jimmy Uso, smiling as he awaited Fatu’s arrival. Reigns beat Fatu twice in one calendar month, thwarting his first major challenger to a championship he won at...

Beyond Raw Signals: Undecoded Generative Latents as Privileged Synthetic Data

arXiv:2606.08336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While multimodal integration significantly improves computer vision models, deploying them incurs prohibitive inference costs and requires scarce, perfectly paired datasets. Recent methods address this data bottleneck by synthesizing missing modalities via generative AI, yet they introduce a severe inefficiency: the Decode-Encode Loop. Specifically, information-rich generative latents are decoded into noisy raw signals, forcing the downstream...

‘Brown’ trailer: Karisma Kapoor’s raw transformation leaves fans stunned — watch

Karisma Kapoor is drawing strong attention for her intense new look in the trailer of ‘Brown.’ The actor appears in a raw, stripped-down role that moves away from glamour, placing her in a darker, more emotional space. Fans have praised her transformation into Rita Brown, a damaged, gritty character whose pain, anger, and vulnerability drive the trailer.
