Auditory Feature-based Perceptual Distance

This paper introduces the auditory perceptual distance (APD) metric, which outperforms MSE in capturing perceptual sensitivity and robustness for complex acoustic signals.

Long-range sequential dependencies precede complex syntactic production in language acquisition

The paper shows that long-range statistical dependencies in language precede complex syntax and are also present in non-linguistic behaviors across species.

Latent space visualization, characterization, and generation of diverse vocal communication signals

The paper develops computational methods to project animal vocalizations into latent spaces for unbiased analysis of acoustic features across species.
