• Abstract: Intelligible speech is produced by creating varying internal local muscle groupings -- i.e., functional units -- that are generated in a systematic and coordinated manner. There are two major challenges in characterizing and analyzing functional units.~First, due to the complex and convoluted nature of tongue structure and function, it is of great importance to develop a method that can accurately decode complex muscle coordination patterns during speech. Second, it is challenging to keep identified functional units across subjects comparable due to their substantial variability. In this work, to address these challenges, we develop a new deep learning framework to identify common and subject-specific functional units of tongue motion during speech.~Our framework hinges on joint deep graph-regularized sparse non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) using motion quantities derived from displacements by tagged Magnetic Resonance Imaging. More specifically, we transform NMF with sparse and graph regularizations into modular architectures akin to deep neural networks by means of unfolding the Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm to learn interpretable building blocks and associated weighting map. We then apply spectral clustering to common and subject-specific weighting maps from which we jointly determine the common and subject-specific functional units. Experiments carried out with simulated datasets show that the proposed method achieved on par or better clustering performance over the comparison methods. Experiments carried out with in vivo tongue motion data show that the proposed method can determine the common and subject-specific functional units with increased interpretability and decreased size variability.

  We propose a Generalized Structural Sparse to capture powerful relationships across modalities for pair-wise similarity learning. The distance metric delicately encapsulates two formats of diagonal and block-diagonal terms. Experiments on cross-modal and two extra uni-modal retrieval tasks have validated its superiority and flexibility.

  We present experiments with semantic structural probing, a method for studying sentence-level representations. We apply our method to language models from different families (encoder-only, decoder-only, encoder-decoder) and of different sizes in the context of two tasks. We find that model families differ substantially in their performance and layer dynamics, but that the results are largely model-size invariant.

  We study modularity of hidden layer representations of feedforward, fully connected networks. We find two surprising results: first, dropout dramatically increased modularity, while other forms of weight regularization had more modest effects. This has important implications for representation-learning, as it suggests that finding modular representations that reflect structure in inputs may be a distinct goal from learning modular representations that reflect structure in outputs.
