Hardware Efficient Speech Enhancement With Noise Aware Multi-Target Deep Learning by Salinna Abdullah, Majid Zamani, Andreas Demosthenous

“…For optimal speech denoising, the SE system, trained with multiple-target joint learning, switches between mapping-based, masking-based, or complementary processing, depending on the level of noise contamination detected. Optimisation techniques, including ternary quantisation, structural pruning, efficient sparse matrix representation and cost-effective approximations for complex computations, were implemented to reduce area, memory, and power requirements. …”

Phytochrome-mediated shade avoidance responses impact the structure and composition of the bacterial phyllosphere microbiome of Arabidopsis by James A. O’Rourke, Stacey A. Vincent, Isabel E. I. Williams, Eleanor L. Gascoyne, Paul F. Devlin

“…Our findings suggests that plants manipulate their phyllosphere microbiome under shade conditions as a strategy to optimise fitness when competing for light. We discuss the implications of our findings in terms of furthering our understanding of plant-microbe signalling in the shaping of the phyllosphere microbiome and the possibility of manipulating the phyllosphere microbiome for plant health in an agricultural setting at high planting densities.…”
