• Abstract: Soundscapes have been studied by researchers from various disciplines, each with different perspectives, goals, approaches, and terminologies. Accordingly, depending on the field, the concept of a soundscape's components changes, consequently changing the basic definition. This results in complicating interdisciplinary communication and comparison of results. Especially when soundscape-unrelated research areas are involved. For this reason, we present a potential formalization that is independent of the underlying soundscape definition, with the goal of being able to capture the heterogeneous structure of the data as well as the different ideologies in one model. In an exemplary analysis of frequency correlation matrices for land use type detection as an alternative to features like MFCCs, we show a practical application of our presented formalization.

  Single-Subject Design is used in several areas such as education and biomedicine. No suited formal vocabulary exists for annotating the detailed configuration and the results of this type of research studies. We present SSDOnt, a specific purpose ontology for describing and annotating single-subject design studies.

  Grounding has been argued to be a crucial component towards the development of more complete and truly semantically competent artificial intelligence systems. We study what the effects are - if any - of providing models with richer input sources than text-only. Experiments using this framework reveal qualitative differences in model behavior between cross-modally grounded, cross-lingually grounded, and ungrounded models.

• Variational Cross-Graph Reasoning and Adaptive Structured Semantics Learning for Compositional Temporal Grounding [143.5927158318524]
  Temporal grounding is the task of locating a specific segment from an untrimmed video according to a query sentence. We introduce a new Compositional Temporal Grounding task and construct two new dataset splits. We argue that the inherent structured semantics inside the videos and language is the crucial factor to achieve compositional generalization.

• Compositional Temporal Grounding with Structured Variational Cross-Graph Correspondence Learning [92.07643510310766]
  Temporal grounding in videos aims to localize one target video segment that semantically corresponds to a given query sentence. We introduce a new Compositional Temporal Grounding task and construct two new dataset splits. We empirically find that they fail to generalize to queries with novel combinations of seen words. We propose a variational cross-graph reasoning framework that explicitly decomposes video and language into multiple structured hierarchies.

• Do Acoustic Word Embeddings Capture Phonological Similarity? An Empirical Study [12.210797811981173]
  In this paper, we ask: does the distance in the acoustic embedding space correlate with phonological dissimilarity? We train AWE models in controlled settings for two languages (German and Czech) and evaluate the embeddings on two tasks: word discrimination and phonological similarity. Our experiments show that (1) the distance in the embedding space in the best cases only moderately correlates with phonological distance, and (2) improving the performance on the word discrimination task does not necessarily yield models that better reflect word phonological similarity.

  Deep pre-trained contextualized encoders like BERT (Delvin et al.) demonstrate remarkable performance on a range of downstream tasks. Recent research in probing investigates the linguistic knowledge implicitly learned by these models during pre-training. Can the choice of formalism affect probing results? We find linguistically meaningful differences in the encoding of semantic role- and proto-role information by BERT depending on the formalism.
