Open-Set Recognition of Environmental Sound Based on KDE-GAN and Attractor–Reciprocal Point Learning by Jiakuan Wu, Nan Wang, Huajie Hong, Wei Wang, Kunsheng Xing, Yujie Jiang

“…Kernel Density Estimation then enforces Density Loss and Offset Loss to ensure these samples align with class boundaries. (2) How to optimize feature space organization: The closed-set classifier is constrained by an Attractor–Reciprocal Point joint loss, maintaining intra-class compactness while pushing unknown samples toward low-density regions. (3) How to evaluate performance in highly open scenarios: We validate the method using UrbanSound8K, AudioEventDataset, and TUT Acoustic Scenes 2017 as closed sets, with ESC-50 categories as open-set samples, achieving AUROC/OSCR scores of 0.9251/0.8743, 0.7921/0.7135, and 0.8209/0.6262, respectively. …”

Unsupervised Context-Linking Retriever for Question Answering on Long Narrative Books by Mohammad A. Ateeq, Sabrina Tiun, Hamed Abdelhaq, Wandeep Kaur

“…UCLR uses an encoder-decoder model to generate synthetic (question, answer) pairs, measuring the relevance of passages by comparing the error between the generated pair and the reference pair, which serves as a synthetic training signal. This method optimizes the retriever to identify passages with sufficient context to accurately reconstruct both the question and the answer, improving retrieval accuracy. …”
