• Abstract: State-of-the-art speaker verification frameworks have typically focused on speech enhancement techniques with increasingly deeper (more layers) and wider (number of channels) models to improve their verification performance. Instead, this paper proposes an approach to increase the model resolution capability using attention-based dynamic kernels in a convolutional neural network to adapt the model parameters to be feature-conditioned. The attention weights on the kernels are further distilled by channel attention and multi-layer feature aggregation to learn global features from speech. This approach provides an efficient solution to improving representation capacity with lower data resources. This is due to the self-adaptation to inputs of the structures of the model parameters. The proposed dynamic convolutional model achieved 1.62\% EER and 0.18 miniDCF on the VoxCeleb1 test set and has a 17\% relative improvement compared to the ECAPA-TDNN.

  Hyperspectral image (HSI) denoising is critical for the effective analysis and interpretation of hyperspectral data. We propose a hybrid convolution and attention network (HCANet) to enhance HSI denoising. Experimental results on mainstream HSI datasets demonstrate the rationality and effectiveness of the proposed HCANet.

Our models are more robust to changes in input resolution during inference and learn to "shift attention" by localizing individual objects or features at each computation step without any explicit supervision.
