Sinc‐attention feature extraction for trivial‐event based speaker verification

2023 · Electronics Letters

Abstract Human speech contains trivial events that are non‐subjectively controlled and are limited by physical characteristics. These events are represented by a series of extremely short utterances, such as the ‘hmm’ phrase used for expressing …

SSKD: Stepwise Self-Knowledge Distillation for Binary Neural Networks in Keyword Spotting

2026 · Applied Sciences

The hardware power-aware keyword spotting (KWS) implementation requires small memory footprint, low-complex computation, and high accuracy performances. Binary neural networks (BNNs) naturally satisfy these constraints. They quantize both weights and activations to 1-bit. This reduces …

C-DPSS: Channel dual-phase sparsity pruning framework for spiking neural networks

2026 · Neurocomputing

Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) have emerged as an essential paradigm for brain-inspired computing, achieving superior energy efficiency on neuromorphic hardware. However, as network scale increases, SNNs encounter growing challenges in deployment efficiency. While structured pruning …
