    Abstract

    The brain attenuates its responses to self-produced exteroceptions (e.g., we cannot tickle ourselves). Is this phenomenon, known as sensory attenuation, enabled innately, or acquired through learning? Here, our simulation study using a multimodal hierarchical recurrent neural network model, based on variational free-energy minimization, shows that a mechanism for sensory attenuation can develop through learning of two distinct types of sensorimotor experience, involving self-produced or externally produced exteroceptions. For each sensorimotor context, a particular free-energy state emerged through interaction between top-down prediction with precision and bottom-up sensory prediction error from each sensory area. The executive area in the network served as an information hub. Consequently, shifts between the two sensorimotor contexts triggered transitions from one free-energy state to another in the network via executive control, which caused shifts between attenuating and amplifying prediction-error-induced responses in the sensory areas. This study situates emergence of sensory attenuation (or self-other distinction) in development of distinct free-energy states in the dynamic hierarchical neural system.

     概要を見る

    Robots need robust models to effectively perform tasks that humans do on a daily basis. These models often require substantial developmental costs to maintain because they need to be adjusted and adapted over time. Deep reinforcement learning is a powerful approach for acquiring complex real-world models because there is no need for a human to design the model manually. Furthermore, a robot can establish new motions and optimal trajectories that may not have been considered by a human. However, the cost of learning is an issue because it requires a huge amount of trial and error in the real world. Here, we report a method for realizing complicated tasks in the real world with low design and teaching costs based on the principle of prediction error minimization. We devised a module integration method by introducing a mechanism that switches modules based on the prediction error of multiple modules. The robot generates appropriate motions according to the door’s position, color, and pattern with a low teaching cost. We also show that by calculating the prediction error of each module in real time, it is possible to execute a sequence of tasks (opening door outward and passing through) by linking multiple modules and responding to sudden changes in the situation and operating procedures. The experimental results show that the method is effective at enabling a robot to operate autonomously in the real world in response to changes in the environment.

     概要を見る

    Deep robotic learning by learning from demonstration allows robots to mimic a given demonstration and generalize their performance to unknown task setups. However, this generalization ability is heavily affected by the number of demonstrations, which can be costly to manually generate. Without sufficient demonstrations, robots tend to overfit to the available demonstrations and lose the robustness offered by deep learning. Applying the concept of motor babbling – a process similar to that by which human infants move their bodies randomly to obtain proprioception – is also effective for allowing robots to enhance their generalization ability. Furthermore, the generation of babbling data is simpler than task-oriented demonstrations. Previous researches use motor babbling in the concept of pre-training and fine-tuning but have the problem of the babbling data being overwritten by the task data. In this work, we propose an RNN-based robot-control framework capable of leveraging targetless babbling data to aid the robot in acquiring proprioception and increasing the generalization ability of the learned task data by learning both babbling and task data simultaneously. Through simultaneous learning, our framework can use the dynamics obtained from babbling data to learn the target task efficiently. In the experiment, we prepare demonstrations of a block-picking task and aimless-babbling data. With our framework, the robot can learn tasks faster and show greater generalization ability when blocks are at unknown positions or move during execution.

  • Tool-Use Model to Reproduce the Goal Situations Considering Relationship Among Tools, Objects, Actions and Effects Using Multimodal Deep Neural Networks

    Namiko Saito, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroki Mori, Shingo Murata, Shigeki Sugano

    Frontiers in Robotics and AI   8  2021年09月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We propose a tool-use model that enables a robot to act toward a provided goal. It is important to consider features of the four factors; tools, objects actions, and effects at the same time because they are related to each other and one factor can influence the others. The tool-use model is constructed with deep neural networks (DNNs) using multimodal sensorimotor data; image, force, and joint angle information. To allow the robot to learn tool-use, we collect training data by controlling the robot to perform various object operations using several tools with multiple actions that leads different effects. Then the tool-use model is thereby trained and learns sensorimotor coordination and acquires relationships among tools, objects, actions and effects in its latent space. We can give the robot a task goal by providing an image showing the target placement and orientation of the object. Using the goal image with the tool-use model, the robot detects the features of tools and objects, and determines how to act to reproduce the target effects automatically. Then the robot generates actions adjusting to the real time situations even though the tools and objects are unknown and more complicated than trained ones.

  • Paradoxical sensory reactivity induced by functional disconnection in a robot model of neurodevelopmental disorder

     概要を見る

    Neurodevelopmental disorders are characterized by heterogeneous and non-specific nature of their clinical symptoms. In particular, hyper- and hypo-reactivity to sensory stimuli are diagnostic features of autism spectrum disorder and are reported across many neurodevelopmental disorders. However, computational mechanisms underlying the unusual paradoxical behaviors remain unclear. In this study, using a robot controlled by a hierarchical recurrent neural network model with predictive processing and learning mechanism, we simulated how functional disconnection altered the learning process and subsequent behavioral reactivity to environmental change. The results show that, through the learning process, long-range functional disconnection between distinct network levels could simultaneously lower the precision of sensory information and higher-level prediction. The alteration caused a robot to exhibit sensory-dominated and sensory-ignoring behaviors ascribed to sensory hyper- and hypo-reactivity, respectively. As long-range functional disconnection became more severe, a frequency shift from hyporeactivity to hyperreactivity was observed, paralleling an early sign of autism spectrum disorder. Furthermore, local functional disconnection at the level of sensory processing similarly induced hyporeactivity due to low sensory precision. These findings suggest a computational explanation for paradoxical sensory behaviors in neurodevelopmental disorders, such as coexisting hyper- and hypo-reactivity to sensory stimulus. A neurorobotics approach may be useful for bridging various levels of understanding in neurodevelopmental disorders and providing insights into mechanisms underlying complex clinical symptoms.

     概要を見る

    In many robotics studies, deep neural networks (DNNs) are being actively studied due to their good performance. However, existing robotic techniques and DNNs have not been systematically integrated, and packages for beginners are yet to be developed. In this study, we proposed a basic educational kit for robotic system development with DNNs. Our goal was to educate beginners in both robotics and machine learning, especially the use of DNNs. Initially, we required the kit to (1) be easy to understand, (2) employ experience-based learning, and (3) be applicable in many areas. To clarify the learning objectives and important parts of the basic educational kit, we analyzed the research and development (R&D) of DNNs and divided the process into three steps of data collection (DC), machine learning (ML), and task execution (TE). These steps were configured under a hierarchical system flow with the ability to be executed individually at the development stage. To evaluate the practicality of the proposed system flow, we implemented it for a physical robotic grasping system using robotics middleware. We also demonstrated that the proposed system can be effectively applied to other hardware, sensor inputs, and robot tasks.

  • Compensation for Undefined Behaviors during Robot Task Execution by Switching Controllers Depending on Embedded Dynamics in RNN

    Kanata Suzuki, Hiroki Mori, Tetsuya Ogata

    IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters   6 ( 2 ) 3475 - 3482  2021年04月  [査読有り]

    担当区分:最終著者, 責任著者

     概要を見る

    Robotic applications require both correct task performance and compensation for undefined behaviors. Although deep learning is a promising approach to perform complex tasks, the response to undefined behaviors that are not reflected in the training dataset remains challenging. In a human-robot collaborative task, the robot may adopt an unexpected posture due to collisions and other unexpected events. Therefore, robots should be able to recover from disturbances for completing the execution of the intended task. We propose a compensation method for undefined behaviors by switching between two controllers. Specifically, the proposed method switches between learning-based and model-based controllers depending on the internal representation of a recurrent neural network that learns task dynamics. We applied the proposed method to a pick-And-place task and evaluated the compensation for undefined behaviors. Experimental results from simulations and on a real robot demonstrate the effectiveness and high performance of the proposed method.

  • How to Select and Use Tools? : Active Perception of Target Objects Using Multimodal Deep Learning

    Namiko Saito, Tetsuya Ogata, Satoshi Funabashi, Hiroki Mori, Shigeki Sugano

    IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters   6 ( 2 ) 2517 - 2524  2021年04月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Selection of appropriate tools and use of them when performing daily tasks is a critical function for introducing robots for domestic applications. In previous studies, however, adaptability to target objects was limited, making it difficult to accordingly change tools and adjust actions. To manipulate various objects with tools, robots must both understand tool functions and recognize object characteristics to discern a tool-object-action relation. We focus on active perception using multimodal sensorimotor data while a robot interacts with objects, and allow the robot to recognize their extrinsic and intrinsic characteristics. We construct a deep neural networks (DNN) model that learns to recognize object characteristics, acquires tool-object-action relations, and generates motions for tool selection and handling. As an example tool-use situation, the robot performs an ingredients transfer task, using a turner or ladle to transfer an ingredient from a pot to a bowl. The results confirm that the robot recognizes object characteristics and servings even when the target ingredients are unknown. We also examine the contributions of images, force, and tactile data and show that learning a variety of multimodal information results in rich perception for tool use.

  • Comparison of Consolidation Methods for Predictive Learning of Time Series

    Ryoichi Nakajo, Tetsuya Ogata

    Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics)   12798   113 - 120  2021年

     概要を見る

    In environments where various tasks are sequentially given to deep neural networks (DNNs), training methods are needed that enable DNNs to learn the given tasks continuously. A DNN is typically trained by a single dataset, and continuous learning of subsequent datasets causes the problem of catastrophic forgetting. Previous studies have reported results for consolidation learning methods in recognition tasks and reinforcement learning problems. However, those methods were validated on only a few examples of predictive learning for time series. In this study, we applied elastic weight consolidation (EWC) and pseudo-rehearsal to the predictive learning of time series and compared their learning results. Evaluating the latent space after the consolidation learning revealed that the EWC method acquires properties of the pre-training and subsequent datasets with the same distribution, and the pseudo-rehearsal method distinguishes the properties and acquires them with different distributions.

     概要を見る

    This study proposed a hypothesis regarding the emergence of object-oriented action via tactile-based curiosity. The hypothesis is such that a curious exploration driven by tactile sensation leads tactile-rich object-oriented actions, while there are no explicit rewards or other designated intentional purposes. Experiments were with the curiosity model named the disagreement model from the reinforcement learning research field and with a simple physics robotic simulation with visual and tactile sensory information. The experimental results indicated that the tactile sensation induces object-oriented actions such as hitting and pecking by the body parts that have tactile sensors. We deduced that the hypothesis could be extended to discussions regarding the acquisition of dexterous skillful object manipulation in human development.

  • Wiping 3D-objects using deep learning model based on image/force/joint information

    IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)     10152 - 10157  2020年10月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We propose a deep learning model for a robot to wipe 3D-objects. Wiping of 3D-objects requires recognizing the shapes of objects and planning the motor angle adjustments for tracing the objects. Unlike previous research, our learning model does not require pre-designed computational models of target objects. The robot is able to wipe the objects to be placed by using image, force, and arm joint information. We evaluate the generalization ability of the model by confirming that the robot handles untrained cube and bowl shaped-objects. We also find that it is necessary to use both image and force information to recognize the shape of and wipe 3D objects consistently by comparing changes in the input sensor data to the model. To our knowledge, this is the first work enabling a robot to use learning sensorimotor information alone to trace various unknown 3D-shape.

  • Variable in-hand manipulations for tactile-driven robot hand via CNN-LSTM

    IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)     9472 - 9479  2020年10月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Performing various in-hand manipulation tasks, without learning each individual task, would enable robots to act more versatile, while reducing the effort for training. However, in general it is difficult to achieve stable in-hand manipulation, because the contact state between the fingertips becomes difficult to model, especially for a robot hand with anthropomorphically shaped fingertips. Rich tactile feedback can aid the robust task execution, but on the other hand it is challenging to process high-dimensional tactile information. In the current paper we use two fingers of the Allegro hand, and each fingertip is anthropomorphically shaped and equipped not only with 6-axis force-torque (F/T) sensors, but also with uSkin tactile sensors, which provide 24 tri-axial measurements per fingertip. A convolutional neural network is used to process the high dimensional uSkin information, and a long short-term memory (LSTM) handles the time-series information. The network is trained to generate two different motions ("twist"and "push"). The desired motion is provided as a task-parameter to the network, with twist defined as -1 and push as +1. When values between -1 and +1 are used as the task parameter, the network is able to generate untrained motions in-between the two trained motions. Thereby, we can achieve multiple untrained manipulations, and can achieve robustness with high-dimensional tactile feedback.

  • Stable in-grasp manipulation with a low-cost robot hand by using 3-axis tactile sensors with a CNN

    IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS)     9166 - 9173  2020年10月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    The use of tactile information is one of the most important factors for achieving stable in-grasp manipulation. Especially with low-cost robotic hands that provide low-precision control, robust in-grasp manipulation is challenging. Abundant tactile information could provide the required feed-back to achieve reliable in-grasp manipulation also in such cases. In this research, soft distributed 3-axis skin sensors ("uSkin") and 6-axis F/T (force/torque) sensors were mounted on each fingertip of an Allegro Hand to provide rich tactile information. These sensors yielded 78 measurements for each fingertip (72 measurements from the uSkin and 6 measurements from the 6-axis F/T sensor). However, such high-dimensional tactile information can be difficult to process because of the complex contact states between the grasped object and the fingertips. Therefore, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was employed to process the tactile information. In this paper, we explored the importance of the different sensors for achieving in-grasp manipulation. Successful in-grasp manipulation with untrained daily objects was achieved when both 3-axis uSkin and 6-axis F/T information was provided and when the information was processed using a CNN.

     概要を見る

    Neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder, have been intensively investigated at the neural, cognitive, and behavioral levels, but the accumulated knowledge remains fragmented. In particular, developmental learning aspects of symptoms and interactions with the physical environment remain largely unexplored in computational modeling studies, although a leading computational theory has posited associations between psychiatric symptoms and an unusual estimation of information uncertainty (precision), which is an essential aspect of the real world and is estimated through learning processes. Here, we propose a mechanistic explanation that unifies the disparate observations via a hierarchical predictive coding and developmental learning framework, which is demonstrated in experiments using a neural network-controlled robot. The results show that, through the developmental learning process, homogeneous intrinsic neuronal excitability at the neural level induced via self-organization changes at the information processing level, such as hyper sensory precision and overfitting to sensory noise. These changes led to multifaceted alterations at the behavioral level, such as inflexibility, reduced generalization, and motor clumsiness. In addition, these behavioral alterations were accompanied by fluctuating neural activity and excessive development of synaptic connections. These findings might bridge various levels of understandings in autism spectrum and other neurodevelopmental disorders and provide insights into the disease processes underlying observed behaviors and brain activities in individual patients. This study shows the potential of neurorobotics frameworks for modeling how psychiatric disorders arise from dynamic interactions among the brain, body, and uncertain environments.

    For an autonomous robot to flexibly move in response to various tasks or environmental changes, an attention mechanism is required that is based on the robot's behavioral experience. In this paper, we visualize how attention is acquired inside a neural network learned using supervised learning and describe how to acquire a suitable representation for performing a task. Our experimental evaluation shows that the attention was automatically acquired for objects that are needed to perform tasks by learning the time-series of both vision and motor information rather than only vision information. By multimodal learning, the attention is robust against unlearned conditions which background changes or obstacles.

    IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics, ROBIO 2019     1077 - 1082  2019年12月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We propose a sensorimotor dynamical system model for pouring unknown liquids. With our system, a robot holds and shakes a bottle to estimate the characteristics of the contained liquid, such as viscosity and fill level, without calculating to determine their parameters. Next, the robot pours a specified amount of the liquid into another container. The system needs to integrate information on the robot's actions, the liquids, the container, and the surrounding environment to perform the estimation and execute a continuous pouring motion using the same model. We use deep neural networks (DNN) to construct the system. The DNN model repeats prediction and execution of the actions to be taken in the next time step based on the input sensorimotor data, including camera images, force sensor data, and joint angles. At the same time, the DNN model acquires liquid characteristics in the internal state. We confirmed that the DNN model can control the robot to pour a desired amount of liquid with unknown viscosity and fill level.

     概要を見る

    In this paper we present a neural architecture to learn a bi-directional mapping between actions and language. We implement a Multiple Timescale Long Short-Term Memory (MT-LSTM) network comprised of 7 layers with different timescale factors, to connect actions to language without explicitly learning an intermediate representation. Instead, the model self-organizes such representations at the level of a slow-varying latent layer, linking action branch and language branch at the center. We train the model in a bi-directional way, learning how to produce a sentence from a certain action sequence input and, simultaneously, how to generate an action sequence given a sentence as input. Furthermore we show this model preserves some of the generalization behaviour of Multiple Timescale Recurrent Neural Networks (MTRNN) in generating sentences and actions that were not explicitly trained. We compare this model with a number of different baseline models, confirming the importance of both the bi-directional training and the multiple timescales architecture. Finally, the network was evaluated on motor actions performed by an iCub robot and their corresponding letter-based description. The results of these experiments are presented at the end of the paper.

     概要を見る

    As the complexity of the robot's tasks increases, we can consider many general tasks in a compound form that consists of shorter tasks. Therefore, for robots to generate various tasks, they need to be able to execute shorter tasks in succession, appropriately to the situation. With the design principle to construct the architecture for robots to execute complex tasks compounded with multiple subtasks, this study proposes a visuomotor-control framework with the characteristics of a state machine to train shorter tasks as sensorimotor units. The design procedure of training framework consists of 4 steps: (1) segment entire task into appropriate subtasks, (2) define subtasks as states and transitions in a state machine, (3) collect subtasks data, and (4) train neural networks: (a) autoencoder to extract visual features, (b) a single recurrent neural network to generate subtasks to realize a pseud-state-machine model with a constraint in hidden values. We implemented this framework on two different robots to allow their performance of repetitive tasks with error-recovery motion, subsequently, confirming the ability of the robot to switch the sensorimotor units from visual input at the attractors of the hidden values created by the constraint.

     概要を見る

    Drawing is a representative human cognitive ability and may mirror cognitive characteristics including those associated with psychiatric symptoms. Therefore, analysis of drawing data collected from various populations such as healthy people and psychiatric patients may be beneficial for better understanding human cognition. However, collecting such large-scale data about the relationship between drawing and cognitive/personality traits offline-in a laboratory-is a difficult issue. To overcome this issue, we devised a novel experimental paradigm involving a goal-directed drawing task conducted online-on the eb-with participants recruited via a crowdsourcing platform. With the assistance of 1155 participants with differing levels of psychiatric symptoms, we collected a total of 194, 040 trajectory data and answers to seven different self-report psychiatric symptom questionnaires comprising 181 items. We visualized the collected trajectory data and performed an exploratory factor analysis on the correlation matrix of the psychiatric symptom questionnaire items. Our results suggest that there were associations between psychiatric symptoms represented by specific psychiatric factors and atypical behavior observed while performing the goal-directed drawing task. This indicates the efficacy of a dimensional approach to large-scale online experiments with respect to clinical psychiatry.

     概要を見る

    Casual conversations involving multiple speakers and noises from surrounding devices are common in everyday environments, which degrades the performances of automatic speech recognition systems. These challenging characteristics of environments are the target of the CHiME-5 challenge. By employing a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based multichannel end-to-end speech recognition system, this study attempts to overcome the presents difficulties in everyday environments. The system comprises of an attention-based encoder-decoder neural network that directly generates a text as an output from a sound input. The multichannel CNN encoder, which uses residual connections and batch renormalization, is trained with augmented data, including white noise injection. The experimental results show that the word error rate is reduced by 8.5% and 0.6% absolute from a single channel end-to-end and the best baseline (LF-MMI TDNN) on the CHiME-5 corpus, respectively.

  • Encoding Longer-term Contextual Sensorimotor Information in a Predictive Coding Model

    Proceedings of the 2018 IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, SSCI 2018     160 - 167  2019年01月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Studies suggest that the difference of the sensorimotor events can be recorded with the fast- and slower-changing neural activities in the hierarchical brain areas, in which they have bi-directional connections. The slow-changing representations attempt to predict the activities on the faster level by relaying categorized sensorimotor events. On the other hand, the incoming sensory information corrects such event-based prediction on the higher level by the novel or surprising signal. From this motivation, we propose a predictive hierarchical artificial neural network model which is implemented the differentiated temporal parameters for neural updates. Also, both the fast- and slow-changing neural activities are modulated by the active motor activities. This model is examined in the driving dataset, recorded in various events, which incorporates the image sequences and the ego-motion of the vehicle. Experiments show that the model encodes the driving scenarios on the higher-level where the neuron recorded the long-term context.

     概要を見る

    We propose a tool-use model that can select tools that require neither labeling nor modeling of the environment and actions. With this model, a robot can choose a tool by itself and perform the operation that matches a human command and the environmental situation. To realize this, we use deep learning to train sensory motor data recorded during tool selection and tool use as experienced by a robot. The experience includes two types of selection, namely according to function and according to size, thereby allowing the robot to handle both situations. For evaluation, the robot is required to generate motion either in an untrained situation or using an untrained tool. We confirm that the robot can choose and use a tool that is suitable for achieving the target task.

    We propose a tool-use model that can detect the features of tools, target objects, and actions from the provided effects of object manipulation. We construct a model that enables robots to manipulate objects with tools, using infant learning as a concept. To realize this, we train sensory-motor data recorded during a tool-use task performed by a robot with deep learning. Experiments include four factors: (1) tools, (2) objects, (3) actions, and (4) effects, which the model considers simultaneously. For evaluation, the robot generates predicted images and motions given information of the effects of using unknown tools and objects. We confirm that the robot is capable of detecting features of tools, objects, and actions by learning the effects and executing the task.

     概要を見る

    Understanding and grounding human commands with natural languages have been a fundamental requirement for service robotic applications. Although there have been several attempts toward this goal, the bottleneck still exists to store and process the corpora of natural language in an interaction system. Currently, the neural- and statistical-based (N&S) natural language processing have shown potential to solve this problem. With the availability of large data-sets nowadays, these processing methods are able to extract semantic relationships while parsing a corpus of natural language (NL) text without much human design, compared with the rule-based language processing methods. In this paper, we show that how two N&S based word embedding methods, called Word2vec and GloVe, can be used in natural language understanding as pre-training tools in a multi-modal environment. Together with two different multiple time-scale recurrent neural models, they form hybrid neural language understanding models for a robot manipulation experiment.

     概要を見る

    In this paper, we discuss about the learning performance of dynamics learning tree (DLT) while mainly focusing on the implementation on robot arms. We propose an input-order-designing method for DLT. DLT has been applied to the modeling of boat, vehicle, and humanoid robot. However, the relationship between the input order and the performance of DLT has not been investigated. In the proposed method, a developer is able to design an effective input order intuitively. The proposed method was validated in the model learning tasks on a simulated robot manipulator, a real robot manipulator, and a simulated vehicle. The first/second manipulator was equipped with flexible arm/finger joints that made uncertainty around the trajectories of manipulated objects. In all of the cases, the proposed method improved the performance of DLT.

     概要を見る

    Studies suggest that, within the hierarchical architecture, the topological higher level possibly represents the scenarios of the current sensory events with slower changing activities. They attempt to predict the neural activities on the lower level by relaying the predicted information after the scenario of the sensorimotor event has been determined. On the other hand, the incoming sensory information corrects such prediction of the events on the higher level by the fast-changing novel or surprising signal. From this point, we propose a predictive hierarchical artificial neural network model that examines this hypothesis on neurorobotic platforms. It integrates the perception and action in the predictive coding framework. Moreover, in this neural network model, there are different temporal scales of predictions existing on different levels of the hierarchical predictive coding architecture, which defines the temporal memories in recording the events occurring. Also, both the fast- and the slow-changing neural activities are modulated by the motor action. Therefore, the slow-changing neurons can be regarded as the representation of the recent scenario which the sensorimotor system has encountered. The neurorobotic experiments based on the architecture were also conducted.

     概要を見る

    Recently, the importance of the application of computational models utilized in cognitive neuroscience to psychiatric disorders has been recognized. This study utilizes a recurrent neural network model to test aberrant sensory precision, a normative theory of autism spectrum disorder. We particularly focus on the effects of increased and decreased sensory precision on adaptive behavior based on a prediction error minimization mechanism. To distinguish dysfunction at the behavioral and network levels, we employ a humanoid robot driven by a neural network and observe ball-playing interactions with a human experimenter. Experimental results show that behavioral rigidity characteristic of autism spectrum disorder-including stopping movement and repetitive behavior-was generated from both increased and decreased sensory precision, but through different processes at the network level. These results may provide a system-level explanation of different types of behavioral rigidity in psychiatric diseases such as compulsions and stereotypies. The results also support a system-level model for autism spectrum disorder that suggests core deficits in estimating the uncertainty of sensory evidence.

  • Tool-body assimilation model considering grasping motion through deep learning

    Kuniyuki Takahashi, Kitae Kim, Tetsuya Ogata, Shigeki Sugano

     概要を見る

    We propose a tool-body assimilation model that considers grasping during motor babbling for using tools. A robot with tool-use skills can be useful in human–robot symbiosis because this allows the robot to expand its task performing abilities. Past studies that included tool-body assimilation approaches were mainly focused on obtaining the functions of the tools, and demonstrated the robot starting its motions with a tool pre-attached to the robot. This implies that the robot would not be able to decide whether and where to grasp the tool. In real life environments, robots would need to consider the possibilities of tool-grasping positions, and then grasp the tool. To address these issues, the robot performs motor babbling by grasping and nongrasping the tools to learn the robot's body model and tool functions. In addition, the robot grasps various parts of the tools to learn different tool functions from different grasping positions. The motion experiences are learned using deep learning. In model evaluation, the robot manipulates an object task without tools, and with several tools of different shapes. The robot generates motions after being shown the initial state and a target image, by deciding whether and where to grasp the tool. Therefore, the robot is capable of generating the correct motion and grasping decision when the initial state and a target image are provided to the robot.

    IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems   28 ( 4 ) 830 - 848  2017年04月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We suggest that different behavior generation schemes, such as sensory reflex behavior and intentional proactive behavior, can be developed by a newly proposed dynamic neural network model, named stochastic multiple timescale recurrent neural network (S-MTRNN). The model learns to predict subsequent sensory inputs, generating both their means and their uncertainty levels in terms of variance (or inverse precision) by utilizing its multiple timescale property. This model was employed in robotics learning experiments in which one robot controlled by the S-MTRNN was required to interact with another robot under the condition of uncertainty about the other's behavior. The experimental results show that self-organized and sensory reflex behavior-based on probabilistic prediction-emerges when learning proceeds without a precise specification of initial conditions. In contrast, intentional proactive behavior with deterministic predictions emerges when precise initial conditions are available. The results also showed that, in situations where unanticipated behavior of the other robot was perceived, the behavioral context was revised adequately by adaptation of the internal neural dynamics to respond to sensory inputs during sensory reflex behavior generation. On the other hand, during intentional proactive behavior generation, an error regression scheme by which the internal neural activity was modified in the direction of minimizing prediction errors was needed for adequately revising the behavioral context. These results indicate that two different ways of treating uncertainty about perceptual events in learning, namely, probabilistic modeling and deterministic modeling, contribute to the development of different dynamic neuronal structures governing the two types of behavior generation schemes.

     概要を見る

    This study demonstrates that the prediction error minimization (PEM) mechanism can account for the emergence of reciprocal interaction between two cognitive agents. During interactive processes, alternation of forming and deforming interactions may be triggered by various internal and external causes. We focus in particular on external causes derived from a dynamic and uncertain environment. Two small humanoid robots controlled by an identical dynamic neural network model using the PEM mechanism were trained to achieve a set of coherent ball-playing interactions between them. The two robots predict each other in a top-down way while they try to minimize the prediction errors derived from the unstable ball dynamics or the external cause in a bottom-up way by using the PEM mechanism. The experimental results showed that switching among the set of trained interactive ball plays between the two robots appears spontaneously. The analysis clarified how each complementary behavior can be generated via mutual adaptation between the two robots by undertaking top-down and bottom-up interaction in each individual dynamic neural network model by using the PEM mechanism.

     概要を見る

    Human communicative behavior is both dynamic and bidirectional. This study aims to analyze such behavior by conducting imitative interactions between human subjects and a humanoid robot that has a neuro-dynamical system. For this purpose, we take a robot-centered approach in which the change in robot performance according to difference in human partner is analyzed, rather than adopting the typical human-centered approach. A small humanoid robot equipped with a neuro-dynamical system learns imitative arm movement patterns and interacts with humans after the learning process. We analyze the interactive phenomena by different methods, including principal component analysis and use of a recurrence plot. Through this analysis, we demonstrate that different classes of interactions can be observed in the contextual dynamics of the neuro-dynamical system.

     概要を見る

    This study proposes the use of a deep neural network to localize a sound source using an array of microphones in a reverberant environment. During the last few years, applications based on deep neural networks have performed various tasks such as image classification or speech recognition to levels that exceed even human capabilities. In our study, we employ deep residual networks, which have recently shown remarkable performance in image classification tasks even when the training period is shorter than that of other models. Deep residual networks are used to process audio input similar to multiple signal classification (MUSIC) methods. We show that with end-to-end training and generic preprocessing, the performance of deep residual networks not only surpasses the block level accuracy of linear models on nearly clean environments but also shows robustness to challenging conditions by exploiting the time delay on power information.

    <p>In this study, we propose a framework for object recognition and reaching motion in robot systems with robot middleware. There exist many elemental technologies for robot manipulation system such as object recognition and reaching. However, each technology is not systematically integrated for component-based development as open and common frameworks are undeveloped. In order to realize systematic integration of object recognition and reaching motion, we built a framework of robot middleware and proposed it as open framework. This framework is oriented reusable, exchangeable and extensible system and does not depend on specific robot middleware platforms. We implemented the proposed framework in a pick-and-place system with robot arm, and validate the system working.</p>

    <p>In recent years, several robot simulators and open source game engines have been developed. Open source game engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine 4 help to create the simulation environment. Therefore, we implemented a simulator environment by connecting a game engine and a robot middleware. The requirements for the simulator are follows: (1) To create a simulation environment with the high degree of freedom. (2) To support the multiple OS. In this study, we selected Unity and OpenRTM-aist. To assess the machine learning performance, the training data can be collected and the learned model can be verified in the simulator environment. As an example of the implementation of the simulation environment using this framework, we developed a simulator for autonomous driving systems.</p>

    <p>Robots working in the real environment need to respond to necessary sensory inputs. However, if the sensory inputs are not necessary for action generation, robots need to stably generate action without being affected by unnecessary sensory inputs. To realize such adaptive action generation against situational changes, robots should automatically decide how much sensory inputs are necessary for action generation. In this research, we propose a method which automatically decides the ratio of actual and predicted sensory inputs based on predicted sensory uncertainty. As a result of robot experiments, the robot with proposed mechanism could conduct adaptive action generation against situational changes.</p>

    A model was developed to allow a mobile robot to label the areas of a typical domestic room, using raw sequential visual and motor data, no explicit information on location was provided, and no maps were constructed. The model comprised a deep autoencoder and a recurrent neural network. The model was demonstrated to (1) learn to correctly label areas of different shapes and sizes, (2) be capable of adapting to changes in room shape and rearrangement of items in the room, and (3) attribute different labels to the same area, when approached from different angles. Analysis of the internal representations of the model showed that a topological structure corresponding to the room structure was self-organized as the trajectory of the internal activations of the network.

     概要を見る

    In this paper, we propose a method to dynamically modulate the input state of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) so as to realize flexible and robust robot behavior. We employ the so-called stochastic continuous-time RNN (S-CTRNN), which can learn to predict the mean and variance (or uncertainty) of subsequent sensorimotor information. Our proposed method uses this estimated uncertainty to determine a mixture ratio for combining actual and predicted sensory states of network input. The method is evaluated by conducting a robot learning experiment in which a robot is required to perform a sensory-dependent task and a sensory-independent task. The sensory-dependent task requires the robot to incorporate meaningful sensory information, and the sensory-independent task requires the robot to ignore irrelevant sensory information. Experimental results demonstrate that a robot controlled by our proposed method exhibits flexible and robust behavior, which results from dynamic modulation of the network input on the basis of the estimated uncertainty of actual sensory states.

     概要を見る

    We suggest that different behavior generation schemes, such as sensory reflex behavior and intentional proactive behavior, can be developed by a newly proposed dynamic neural network model, named stochastic multiple timescale recurrent neural network (S-MTRNN). The model learns to predict subsequent sensory inputs, generating both their means and their uncertainty levels in terms of variance (or inverse precision) by utilizing its multiple timescale property. This model was employed in robotics learning experiments in which one robot controlled by the S-MTRNN was required to interact with another robot under the condition of uncertainty about the other's behavior. The experimental results show that self-organized and sensory reflex behavior-based on probabilistic prediction-emerges when learning proceeds without a precise specification of initial conditions. In contrast, intentional proactive behavior with deterministic predictions emerges when precise initial conditions are available. The results also showed that, in situations where unanticipated behavior of the other robot was perceived, the behavioral context was revised adequately by adaptation of the internal neural dynamics to respond to sensory inputs during sensory reflex behavior generation. On the other hand, during intentional proactive behavior generation, an error regression scheme by which the internal neural activity was modified in the direction of minimizing prediction errors was needed for adequately revising the behavioral context. These results indicate that two different ways of treating uncertainty about perceptual events in learning, namely, probabilistic modeling and deterministic modeling, contribute to the development of different dynamic neuronal structures governing the two types of behavior generation schemes.

    Humans can learn a language through physical interaction with their environment and semiotic communication with other people. It is very important to obtain a computational understanding of how humans can form symbol systems and obtain semiotic skills through their autonomous mental development. Recently, many studies have been conducted regarding the construction of robotic systems and machine learning methods that can learn a language through embodied multimodal interaction with their environment and other systems. Understanding human?-social interactions and developing a robot that can smoothly communicate with human users in the long term require an understanding of the dynamics of symbol systems. The embodied cognition and social interaction of participants gradually alter a symbol system in a constructive manner. In this paper, we introduce a field of research called symbol emergence in robotics (SER). SER represents a constructive approach towards a symbol emergence system. The symbol emergence system is socially self-organized through both semiotic communications and physical interactions with autonomous cognitive developmental agents, i.e. humans and developmental robots. In this paper, specifically, we describe some state-of-art research topics concerning SER, such as multimodal categorization, word discovery, and double articulation analysis. They enable robots to discover words and their embodied meanings from raw sensory-motor information, including visual information, haptic information, auditory information, and acoustic speech signals, in a totally unsupervised manner. Finally, we suggest future directions for research in SER.

    In this paper, we propose a model that can explain the mechanism of self and non-self discrimination. Infants gradually develop their abilities for self–other cognition through interaction with the environment. Predictive learning has been widely used to explain the mechanism of infants’ development. We hypothesized that infants’ cognitive abilities are developed through predictive learning and the uncertainty estimation of their sensory-motor inputs. We chose a stochastic continuous time recurrent neural network, which is a dynamical neural network model, to predict uncertainties as variances. From the perspective of cognitive developmental robotics, a predictive learning experiment with a robot was performed. The results indicate that training made the robot predict the regions related to its body more easily. We confirmed that self and non-self cognitive abilities might be acquired through predictive learning with uncertainty estimation.

    Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system enables us to access images using only images as queries, instead of keywords. Photorealistic images, and hand-drawn sketch image can be used as a queries as well. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used to discriminate images including sketches. However, the tasks are limited to classifying only one type of images, either photo or sketch images, due to the lack of a large dataset of sketch images and the large difference of their visual characteristics. In this paper, we introduce a simple way to prepare training datasets, which can enable the CNN model to classify both types of images by color transforming photo and illustration images. Through the training experiment, we show that the proposed method contributes to the improvement of classification accuracy.

     概要を見る

    We propose a method of tool use considering the transition process of a body model from not grasping to grasping a tool using a single model. In our previous research, we proposed a tool-body assimilation model in which a robot autonomously learns tool functions using a deep neural network (DNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) through experiences of motor babbling. However, the robot started its motion already holding the tools. In real-life situations, the robot would make decisions regarding grasping (handling) or not grasping (manipulating) a tool. To achieve this, the robot performs motor babbling without the tool pre-attached to the hand with the same motion twice, in which the robot handles the tool or manipulates without graping it. To evaluate the model, we have the robot generate motions with showing the initial and target states. As a result, the robot could generate the correct motions with grasping decisions.

    Meanings of language expressions are constructed not only from words grounded in real-world matters, but also from words such as “not” that participate in the construction by working as logical operators. This study proposes a connectionist method for learning and internally representing functions that deal with both of these word groups, and grounding sentences constructed from them in corresponding behaviors just by experiencing raw sequential data of an imposed task. In the experiment, a robot implemented with a recurrent neural network is required to ground imperative positive and negative sentences given as a sequence of words in corresponding goal-oriented behavior. Analysis of the internal representations reveals that the network fulfilled the requirement by extracting XOR problems implicitly included in the target sequences and solving them by learning to represent the logical operations in its nonlinear dynamics in a self-organizing manner.

    Drawing is a way of visually expressing our feelings, knowledge, and situation. People draw pictures to share information with other human beings. This study investigates visuomotor memory (VM), which is a reusable memory storing drawing behavioral data. We propose a neural network-based model for acquiring a computational memory that can replicate VM through self-organized learning of a robot's actual drawing experiences. To design the model, we assume that VM has the following two characteristics: (1) it is formed by bottom-up learning and integration of temporal drawn pictures and motion data, and (2) it allows the observers to associate drawing motions from pictures. The proposed model comprises a deep neural network for dimensionally compressing temporal drawn images and a continuous-time recurrent neural network for integration learning of drawing motions and temporal drawn images. Two experiments are conducted on unicursal shape learning to investigate whether the proposed model can learn the function without any shape information for visual processing. Based on the first experiment, the model can learn 15 drawing sequences for three types of pictures, acquiring associative memory for drawing motions through the bottom-up learning process. Thus, it can associate drawing motions from untrained drawn images. In the second experiment, four types of pictures are trained, with four distorted variations per type. In this case, the model can organize the different shapes based on their distortions by utilizing both the image information and the drawing motions, even if visual characteristics are not shared.

     概要を見る

    Noise robust speech recognition is crucial for effective human-machine interaction in real-world environments. Sound source separation (SSS) is one of the most widely used approaches for addressing noise robust speech recognition by extracting a target speaker's speech signal while suppressing simultaneous unintended signals. However, conventional SSS algorithms, such as independent component analysis or nonlinear principal component analysis, are limited in modeling complex projections with scalability. Moreover, conventional systems required designing an independent subsystem for noise reduction (NR) in addition to the SSS. To overcome these issues, we propose a deep neural network (DNN) framework for modeling the separation function (SF) of an SSS system. By training a DNN to predict clean sound features of a target sound from corresponding multichannel deteriorated sound feature inputs, we enable the DNN to model the SF for extracting the target sound without prior knowledge regarding the acoustic properties of the surrounding environment. Moreover, the same DNN is trained to function simultaneously as a NR filter. Our proposed SSS system is evaluated using an isolated word recognition task and a large vocabulary continuous speech recognition task when either nondirectional or directional noise is accumulated in the target speech. Our evaluation results demonstrate that DNN performs noticeably better than the baseline approach, especially when directional noise is accumulated with a low signal-to-noise ratio.

  • Effective motion learning for a flexible-joint robot using motor babbling

    IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems   2015-December   2723 - 2728  2015年12月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We propose a method for realizing effective dynamic motion learning in a flexible-joint robot using motor babbling. Flexible-joint robots have recently attracted attention because of their adaptiveness, safety, and, in particular, dynamic motions. It is difficult to control robots that require dynamic motion. In past studies, attractors and oscillators were designed as motion primitives of an assumed task in advance. However, it is difficult to adapt to unintended environmental changes using such methods. To overcome this problem, we use a recurrent neural network (RNN) that does not require predetermined parameters. In this research, we propose a method for facilitating effective learning. First, a robot learns simple motions via motor babbling, acquiring body dynamics using a recurrent neural network (RNN). Motor babbling is the process of movement that infants use to acquire their own body dynamics during their early days. Next, the robot learns additional motions required for a target task using the acquired body dynamics. For acquiring these body dynamics, the robot uses motor babbling with its redundant flexible joints to learn motion primitives. This redundancy implies that there are numerous possible motion patterns. In comparison to a basic learning task, the motion primitives are simply modified to adjust to the task. Next, we focus on the types of motions used in motor babbling. We classify the motions into two motion types, passive motion and active motion. Passive motion involves inertia without any torque input, whereas active motion involves a torque input. The robot acquires body dynamics from the passive motion and a means of torque generation from the active motion. As a result, we demonstrate the importance of performing prior learning via motor babbling before learning a task. In addition, task learning is made more efficient by dividing the motion into two types of motor babbling patterns.

    In this study, we propose a neural network based model for learning a robot's drawing sequences in an unsupervised manner. We focus on the ability to learn visual-motor relationships, which can work as a reusable memory in association of drawing motion from a picture image. Assuming that a humanoid robot can draw a shape on a pen tablet, the proposed model learns drawing sequences, which comprises drawing motion and drawn picture image frames. To learn raw pixel data without any given specific features, we utilized a deep neural network for compressing large dimensional picture images and a continuous time recurrent neural network for integration of motion and picture images. To confirm the ability of the proposed model, we performed an experiment for learning 15 sequences comprising three types of shapes. The model successfully learns all the sequences and can associate a drawing motion from a not trained picture image and a trained picture with similar success. We also show that the proposed model self-organizes its behavior according to types shapes.

     概要を見る

    In recent years there has been increased interest in studies that explore integrative learning of language and other modalities by using neural network models. However, for practical application to human-robot interaction, the acquired semantic structure between language and meaning has to be available immediately and repeatably whenever necessary, just as in everyday communication. As a solution to this problem, this study proposes a method in which a recurrent neural network self-organizes cyclic attractors that reflect semantic structure and represent interaction flows in its internal dynamics. To evaluate this method we design a simple task in which a human verbally directs a robot, which responds appropriately. Training the network with training data that represent the interaction series, the cyclic attractors that reflect the semantic structure is self-organized. The network first receives a verbal direction, and its internal state moves according to the first half of the cyclic attractors with branch structures corresponding to semantics. After that, the internal state reaches a potential to generate appropriate behavior. Finally, the internal state moves to the second half and converges on the initial point of the cycle while generating the appropriate behavior. By self-organizing such an internal structure in its forward dynamics, the model achieves immediate and repeatable response to linguistic directions. Furthermore, the network self-organizes a fixed-point attractor, and so able to wait for directions. It can thus repeat the interaction flexibly without explicit turn-taking signs.

     概要を見る

    This paper introduces an imitative model that enables a robot to acquire viewpoints of the self and others from its own sensory-motor experiences. This is important for recognizing and imitating actions generated from various directions. Existing methods require coordinate transformations input by human designers or complex learning modules to acquire a viewpoint. In the proposed model, several neurons dedicated to generated actions and viewpoints of the self and others are added to a dynamic nueral network model reffered as continuous time recurrent neural network (CTRNN). The training data are labeled with types of actions and viewpoints, and are linked to each internal state. We implemented this model in a robot and trained the model to perform actions of object manipulation. Representations of behavior and viewpoint were formed in the internal states of the CTRNN. In addition, we analyzed the initial values of the internal states that represent the viewpoint information. We confirmed the distinction of the observational perspective of other's actions self-organized in the space of the initial values. Combining the initial values of the internal states that describe the behavior and the viewpoint, the system can generate unlearned data.

    5th Joint International Conference on Development and Learning and Epigenetic Robotics, ICDL-EpiRob 2015     302 - 307  2015年12月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Dynamic interactions with caregivers are essential for infants to develop cognitive abilities, including aspects of action, perception, and attention. We hypothesized that these abilities can be acquired through the predictive learning of sensory inputs including their uncertainty (inverse precision) in terms of variance. To examine our hypothesis from the perspective of cognitive developmental robotics, we conducted a neurorobotics experiment involving a ball-playing interaction task between a human experimenter representing a caregiver and a small humanoid robot representing an infant. The robot was equipped with a dynamic generative model called a stochastic continuous-time recurrent neural network (S-CTRNN). The S-CTRNN learned to generate predictions about both the visuo-proprioceptive states of the robot and the uncertainty of these states by minimizing a negative log-likelihood consisting of log-uncertainty and precision-weighted prediction error. The experimental results showed that predictive learning with uncertainty estimation enabled the robot to acquire infant-like cognitive abilities through dynamic interactions with the experimenter. We also discuss the effects of infant-directed modifications observed in caregiver-infant interactions on the development of these abilities.

     概要を見る

    Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) system is thought to be one of the most promising solutions for reliable speech recognition, particularly when the audio is corrupted by noise. However, cautious selection of sensory features is crucial for attaining high recognition performance. In the machine-learning community, deep learning approaches have recently attracted increasing attention because deep neural networks can effectively extract robust latent features that enable various recognition algorithms to demonstrate revolutionary generalization capabilities under diverse application conditions. This study introduces a connectionist-hidden Markov model (HMM) system for noise-robust AVSR. First, a deep denoising autoencoder is utilized for acquiring noise-robust audio features. By preparing the training data for the network with pairs of consecutive multiple steps of deteriorated audio features and the corresponding clean features, the network is trained to output denoised audio features from the corresponding features deteriorated by noise. Second, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is utilized to extract visual features from raw mouth area images. By preparing the training data for the CNN as pairs of raw images and the corresponding phoneme label outputs, the network is trained to predict phoneme labels from the corresponding mouth area input images. Finally, a multi-stream HMM (MSHMM) is applied for integrating the acquired audio and visual HMMs independently trained with the respective features. By comparing the cases when normal and denoised mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) are utilized as audio features to the HMM, our unimodal isolated word recognition results demonstrate that approximately 65 % word recognition rate gain is attained with denoised MFCCs under 10 dB signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) for the audio signal input. Moreover, our multimodal isolated word recognition results utilizing MSHMM with denoised MFCCs and acquired visual features demonstrate that an additional word recognition rate gain is attained for the SNR conditions below 10 dB.

    We propose an exploratory motor babbling utilizing variance prediction of recurrent neural network as a method to explore body dynamics of robot with flexible joints. With conventional research methods, practical use with real robots is difficult because of the large numbers of required motor babbling motions. With the proposed method, over-fitting of predictable motions is reduced by sequentially learning appropriate motion for body model from unpredictable motions. To evaluate the method, an experiment where the robot additionally learns crank turning task after the exploration of body dynamics were conducted. The results show that the proposed method is capable of efficient motion generation in any given motion task.

  • Preferential training of neurodynamical model based on predictability of target dynamics

     概要を見る

    Intrinsic motivation is one of the keys in implementing the mechanism of interest to robots. In this paper, we present a method to apply intrinsic motivation in dynamics learning with predictable and unpredictable targets in view. The robots arm is used for the predictable target and the humans arm is used for the unpredictable target in the experiment. The learning algorithm based on intrinsic motivation will automatically set a larger weight to targets that would contribute to decreasing the training error, while setting a smaller weight to others. A neurodynamical model, namely multiple timescales recurrent neural network (MTRNN), is utilized for studying the robots arm/external object dynamics. Training of MTRNN is done using the back propagation through time (BPTT) algorithm. We modify the BPTT algorithm by the following two steps. (1) Evaluate predictability of robots arm/objects using training error of MTRNN. (2) Assign a preference ratio, which represents the weight of the training, to each object based on predictability. The proposed training method would focus more on reducing training error of predictable objects compared to normal BPTT, where training error is equally treated for every object. Experiments were conducted using an actual robot platform, moving the robots arm while a human moves his arm in the robots camera view. The results of the experiment showed that the proposed training method could achieve smaller training error of the robots arm visuomotor dynamics, which is predictable from the robots motor command, compared to general training with BPTT. Evaluation of MTRNN as a forward model to predict untrained data showed that the proposed model is capable of predicting the robots hand motion, specifically with larger number of nodes.

  • Tool-body assimilation model based on body babbling and neurodynamical system

    Mathematical Problems in Engineering   2015  2015年02月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We propose the new method of tool use with a tool-body assimilation model based on body babbling and a neurodynamical system for robots to use tools. Almost all existing studies for robots to use tools require predetermined motions and tool features; the motion patterns are limited and the robots cannot use novel tools. Other studies fully search for all available parameters for novel tools, but this leads to massive amounts of calculations. To solve these problems, we took the following approach: we used a humanoid robot model to generate random motions based on human body babbling. These rich motion experiences were used to train recurrent and deep neural networks for modeling a body image. Tool features were self-organized in parametric bias, modulating the body image according to the tool in use. Finally, we designed a neural network for the robot to generate motion only from the target image. Experiments were conducted with multiple tools for manipulating a cylindrical target object. The results show that the tool-body assimilation model is capable of motion generation.

     概要を見る

    Recognizing grasped objects with tactile sensors is beneficial in many situations, as other sensor information like vision is not always reliable. In this paper, we aim for multimodal object recognition by power grasping of objects with an unknown orientation and position relation to the hand. Few robots have the necessary tactile sensors to reliably recognize objects: in this study the multifingered hand of TWENDY-ONE is used, which has distributed skin sensors covering most of the hand, 6 axis F/T sensors in each fingertip, and provides information about the joint angles. Moreover, the hand is compliant. When using tactile sensors, it is not clear what kinds of features are useful for object recognition. Recently, deep learning has shown promising results. Nevertheless, deep learning has rarely been used in robotics and to our best knowledge never for tactile sensing, probably because it is difficult to gather many samples with tactile sensors. Our results show a clear improvement when using a denoising autoencoder with dropout compared to traditional neural networks. Nevertheless, a higher number of layers did not prove to be beneficial.

     概要を見る

    We propose an exploratory form of motor babbling that uses variance predictions from a recurrent neural network as a method to acquire the body dynamics of a robot with flexible joints. In conventional research methods, it is difficult to construct real robots because of the large number of motor babbling motions required. In motor babbling, different motions may be easy or difficult to predict. The variance is large in difficult-to-predict motions, whereas the variance is small in easy-topredict motions. We use a Stochastic Continuous Timescale Recurrent Neural Network to predict the accuracy and variance of motions. Using the proposed method, a robot can explore motions based on variance. To evaluate the proposed method, experiments were conducted in which the robot learns crank turning and door opening/closing tasks after exploring its body dynamics. The results show that the proposed method is capable of efficient motion generation for any given motion tasks.

  • Generation of sensory reflex behavior versus intentional proactive behavior in robot learning of cooperative interactions with others

     概要を見る

    This paper investigates the essential difference between two types of behavior generation schemes, namely, sensory reflex behavior generation and intentional proactive behavior generation, by proposing a dynamic neural network model referred to as stochastic multiple-timescale recurrent neural network (S-MTRNN). The proposed model was employed in an experiment involving robots learning to cooperate with others under the condition of potential unpredictability of the others' behaviors. The results of the learning experiment showed that sensory reflex behavior was generated by a self-organizing probabilistic prediction mechanism when the initial sensitivity characteristics in the network dynamics were not utilized in the learning process. In contrast, proactive behavior with a deterministic prediction mechanism was developed when the initial sensitivity was utilized. It was further shown that in situations where unexpected behaviors of others were observed, the behavioral context was re-situated by adaptation of the internal neural dynamics by means of simple sensory reflexes in the former case. In the latter case, the behavioral context was re-situated by error regression of the internal neural activity rather than by sensory reflex. The role of the top-down and bottom-up interactions in dealing with unexpected situations is discussed.

     概要を見る

    This paper discusses a possible neurodynamic mechanism that enables self-organization of two basic behavioral modes, namely a proactive mode and a reactive mode, and of autonomous switching between these modes depending on the situation. In the proactive mode, actions are generated based on an internal prediction, whereas in the reactive mode actions are generated in response to sensory inputs in unpredictable situations. In order to investigate how these two behavioral modes can be self-organized and how autonomous switching between the two modes can be achieved, we conducted neurorobotics experiments by using our recently developed dynamic neural network model that has a capability to learn to predict time-varying variance of the observable variables. In a set of robot experiments under various conditions, the robot was required to imitate others movements consisting of alternating predictable and unpredictable patterns. The experimental results showed that the robot controlled by the neural network model was able to proactively imitate predictable patterns and reactively follow unpredictable patterns by autonomously switching its behavioral modes. Our analysis revealed that variance prediction mechanism can lead to self-organization of these abilities with sufficient robustness and generalization capabilities. © 2014 © 2014 Taylor & Francis and The Robotics Society of Japan.

    For humans to accurately understand the world around them, multimodal integration is essential because it enhances perceptual precision and reduces ambiguity. Computational models replicating such human ability may contribute to the practical use of robots in daily human living environments; however, primarily because of scalability problems that conventional machine learning algorithms suffer from, sensory-motor information processing in robotic applications has typically been achieved via modal-dependent processes. In this paper, we propose a novel computational framework enabling the integration of sensory-motor time-series data and the self-organization of multimodal fused representations based on a deep learning approach. To evaluate our proposed model, we conducted two behavior-learning experiments utilizing a humanoid robot; the experiments consisted of object manipulation and bell-ringing tasks. From our experimental results, we show that large amounts of sensory-motor information, including raw RGB images, sound spectrums, and joint angles, are directly fused to generate higher-level multimodal representations. Further, we demonstrated that our proposed framework realizes the following three functions: (1) cross-modal memory retrieval utilizing the information complementation capability of the deep autoencoder; (2) noise-robust behavior recognition utilizing the generalization capability of multimodal features; and (3) multimodal causality acquisition and sensory-motor prediction based on the acquired causality. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

    In recent automatic speech recognition studies, deep learning architecture applications for acoustic modeling have eclipsed conventional sound features such as Mel-frequency cepstral co- efficients. However, for visual speech recognition (VSR) stud- ies, handcrafted visual feature extraction mechanisms are still widely utilized. In this paper, we propose to apply a convo- lutional neural network (CNN) as a visual feature extraction mechanism for VSR. By training a CNN with images of a speaker's mouth area in combination with phoneme labels, the CNN acquires multiple convolutional filters, used to extract vi- sual features essential for recognizing phonemes. Further, by modeling the temporal dependencies of the generated phoneme label sequences, a hidden Markov model in our proposed sys- Tem recognizes multiple isolated words. Our proposed system is evaluated on an audio-visual speech dataset comprising 300 Japanese words with six different speakers. The evaluation re- sults of our isolated word recognition experiment demonstrate that the visual features acquired by the CNN significantly out- perform those acquired by conventional dimensionality com- pression approaches, including principal component analysis.

  • The interaction between a robot and multiple people based on spatially mapping of friendliness and motion parameters

     概要を見る

    We aim to achieve interaction between a robot and multiple people. For this, robots should localize people, select an interaction partner, and act appropriately for him/her. It is difficult to deal with all these problems using only the sensors installed into the robots. We focus on that people use a rough interaction distance among other people . We divide this interaction area into different spaces based on both the interaction distances and sensor abilities of robots. Our robots localize people roughly within this divided space. To select an interaction partner, they map friendliness holding the interaction history onto the divided space, and integrate the sensor information. Furthermore, we developed a method for appropriately changing the motions, sizes, and speeds based on the distance. Our robots regard the divided spaces as Q-Learning states, and learn the motion parameters. Our robot interacted with 27 visitors. It localized a partner with an F-value of 0.76 through integration, which is higher than that of a single sensor. A factor analysis was performed on the results from questionnaires. Exciting and Friendly were the representatives of the first and second factors, respectively. For both factors, a motion with friendliness provided higher impression scores than that without friendliness. © 2013 Taylor & Francis and The Robotics Society of Japan.

     概要を見る

    In the present study, we demonstrate the learning and recognition capabilities of our recently proposed recurrent neural network (RNN) model called stochastic continuous-time RNN (S-CTRNN). S-CTRNN can learn to predict not only the mean but also the variance of the next state of the learning targets. The network parameters consisting of weights, biases, and initial states of context neurons are optimized through maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) using the gradient descent method. First, we clarify the essential difference between the learning capabilities of conventional CTRNN and S-CTRNN by analyzing the results of a numerical experiment in which multiple fluctuating temporal patterns were used as training data, where the variance of the Gaussian noise varied among the patterns. Furthermore, we also show that the trained S-CTRNN can recognize given fluctuating patterns by inferring the initial states that can reproduce the patterns through the same MLE scheme as that used for network training. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.

    This paper proposes an approach for robots to ac-quire language grounding in their robot's sensory-motor flow using neuro-dynamical models. We trained our neuro-dynamical model over a set of sentences represented as sequences of characters. For the integrated recognition, we introduced a cognitive hypothesis for integrated recognition where a human's brain separately processed the 'structure' and 'contents' of a sentence. Our model was trained with the spelling of words and their semantic role emerged in the first model. As a result of binding the model with sensory-motion patterns, we confirmed that it could associate proper word spellings with a sensory-motor flows and a semantic roles, even if an observed flow had not been learned. © 2013 IEEE.

  • Robust Multipitch Analyzer against Initialization based on Latent Harmonic Allocation using Overtone Corpus

     概要を見る

    We present a Bayesian analysis method that estimates the harmonic structure of musical instruments in music signals on the basis of psychoacoustic evidence. Since the main objective of multipitch analysis is joint estimation of the fundamental frequencies and their harmonic structures, the performance of harmonic structure estimation significantly affects fundamental frequency estimation accuracy. Many methods have been proposed for estimating the harmonic structure accurately, but no method has been proposed that satisfies all these requirements: robust against initialization, optimization-free, and psychoacoustically appropriate and thus easy to develop further. Our method satisfies these requirements by explicitly incorporating Terhardt's virtual pitch theory within a Bayesian framework. It does this by automatically learning the valid weight range of the harmonic components using a MIDI synthesizer. The bounds are termed "overtone corpus." Modeling demonstrated that the proposed overtone corpus method can stably estimate the harmonic structure of 40 musical pieces for a wide variety of initial settings. © 2013 Information Processing Society of Japan.

    This paper mainly deals with robot developmental learning on drawing and discusses the influences of physical embodiment to the task. Humans are said to develop their drawing skills through five phases: 1) Scribbling, 2) Fortuitous Realism, 3) Failed Realism, 4) Intellectual Realism, 5) Visual Realism. We implement phases 1) and 3) into the humanoid robot NAO, holding a pen, using a neuro dynamical model, namely Multiple Timescales Recurrent Neural Network (MTRNN). For phase 1), we used random arm motion of the robot as body babbling to associate motor dynamics with pen position dynamics. For phase 3), we developed incremental imitation learning to imitate and develop the robot's drawing skill using basic shapes: circle, triangle, and rectangle. We confirmed two notable features from the experiment. First, the drawing was better performed for shapes requiring arm motions used in babbling. Second, performance of clockwise drawing of circle was good from beginning, which is a similar phenomenon that can be observed in human development. The results imply the capability of the model to create a developmental robot relating to human development. © 2013 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Our brain is known to enhance perceptual precision and reduce ambiguity about sensory environment by integrating multiple sources of sensory information acquired from different modalities, such as vision, auditory and somatic sensation. From an engineering perspective, building a computational model that replicates this ability to integrate multimodal information and to self-organize the causal dependency among them, represents one of the central challenges in robotics. In this study, we propose such a model based on a deep learning framework and we evaluate the proposed model by conducting a bell ring task using a small humanoid robot. Our experimental results demonstrate that (1) the cross-modal memory retrieval function of the proposed method succeeds in generating visual sequence from the corresponding sound and bell ring motion, and (2) the proposed method leads to accurate causal dependencies among the sensory-motor sequence. © 2013 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a novel computational approach for modeling and generating multiple object manipulation behaviors by a humanoid robot. The contribution of this paper is that deep learning methods are applied not only for multimodal sensor fusion but also for sensory-motor coordination. More specifically, a time-delay deep neural network is applied for modeling multiple behavior patterns represented with multi-dimensional visuomotor temporal sequences. By using the efficient training performance of Hessian-free optimization, the proposed mechanism successfully models six different object manipulation behaviors in a single network. The generalization capability of the learning mechanism enables the acquired model to perform the functions of cross-modal memory retrieval and temporal sequence prediction. The experimental results show that the motion patterns for object manipulation behaviors are successfully generated from the corresponding image sequence, and vice versa. Moreover, the temporal sequence prediction enables the robot to interactively switch multiple behaviors in accordance with changes in the displayed objects. © 2013 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Robots are required to process multimodal information because the information in the real world comes from various modal inputs. However, there exist only a few robots integrating multimodal information. Humans can recognize the environment effectively by cross-modal processing. We focus on modeling synaesthesia phenomenon known to be a cross-modal perception of humans. Recently, deep neural networks (DNNs) have gained more attention and successfully applied to process high-dimensional data composed not only of single modality but also of multimodal information. We introduced DNNs to construct multimodal association model which can reconstruct one modality from the other modality. Our model is composed of two DNNs: one for image compression and the other for audio-visual sequential learning. We tried to reproduce synaesthesia phenomenon by training our model with the multimodal data acquired from psychological experiment. Cross-modal association experiment showed that our model can reconstruct the same or similar images from sound as synaesthetes, those who experience synaesthesia. The analysis of middle layers of DNNs representing multimodal features implied that DNNs self-organized the difference of perception between individual synaesthetes. © 2013 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    The optimal way to build speech understanding modules depends on the amount of training data available. When only a small amount of training data is available, effective allocation of the data is crucial to preventing overfitting of statistical methods. We have developed a method for allocating a limited amount of training data in accordance with the amount available. Our method exploits rule-based methods for when the amount of data is small, which are included in our speech understanding framework based on multiple model combinations, i.e., multiple automatic speech recognition (ASR) modules and multiple language understanding (LU) modules, and then allocates training data preferentially to the modules that dominate the overall performance of speech understanding. Experimental evaluation showed that our allocation method consistently outperforms baseline methods that use a single ASR module and a single LU module while the amount of training data increases.

  • Automated violin fingering transcription through analysis of an audio recording

     概要を見る

    We present a method to recuperate fingerings for a given piece of violin music in order to recreate the timbre of a given audio recording of the piece. This is achieved by first analyzing an audio signal to determine the most likely sequence of two-dimensional fingerboard locations (string number and location along the string), which recovers elements of violin fingering relevant to timbre. This sequence is then used as a constraint for finding an ergonomic sequence of finger placements that satisfies both the sequence of notated pitch and the given fingerboard-location sequence. Fingerboard-location-sequence estimation is based on estimation of a hidden Markov model, each state of which represents a particular fingerboard location and emits a Gaussian mixture model of the relative strengths of harmonics. The relative strengths of harmonics are estimated from a polyphonic mixture using score-informed source segregation, and compensates for discrepancies between observed data and training data through mean normalization. Fingering estimation is based on the modeling of a cost function for a sequence of finger placements. We tailor our model to incorporate the playing practices of the violin. We evaluate the performance of the fingerboard-location estimator with a polyphonic mixture, and with recordings of a violin whose timbral characteristics differ significantly from that of the training data. We subjectively evaluate the fingering estimator and validate the effectiveness of tailoring the fingering model towards the violin. © 2012 Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

  • Sound sources selection system by using onomatopoeic querries from multiple sound sources

     概要を見る

    Our motivation is to develop a robot that treats auditory information in real environment because auditory information is useful for animated communications or understanding our surroundings. Interactions by using sound information need an aquisition of it and a proper sound source reference between a user and a robot leads to it. Such sound source reference is difficult due to multiple sound sources generating in real environemnt, and we use onomatopoeic representations as a representation for the reference. This paper shows a system that selects a sound source specified by a user from multiple sound sources. Users use onomatopoeias in the specification, and our system separates a mixed sound and converts separated sounds into onomatopoeias for the selection. Onomatopoeais have the ambiguity that each user gives each expression to a certain sound and we create an original similarity based on Minimum Edit Distance and acoustic features for solving its problem. In experiments, our system receives a mixed sound consisting of three sounds and a user's query as inputs, and checks a count of a consistency of a sound source selected by a system and a sound source specified by a user in 100 tests.

     概要を見る

    Researches in the brain science field have uncovered the human capability to use tools as if they are part of the human bodies (known as tool-body assimilation) through trial and experience. This paper presents a method to apply a robot's active sensing experience to create the tool-body assimilation model. The model is composed of a feature extraction module, dynamics learning module, and a tool-body assimilation module. Self-organizing map (SOM) is used for the feature extraction module to extract object features from raw images. Multiple time-scales recurrent neural network (MTRNN) is used as the dynamics learning module. Parametric bias (PB) nodes are attached to the weights of MTRNN as second-order network to modulate the behavior of MTRNN based on the properties of the tool. The generalization capability of neural networks provide the model the ability to deal with unknown tools. Experiments were conducted with the humanoid robot HRP-2 using no tool, I-shaped, T-shaped, and L-shaped tools. The distribution of PB values have shown that the model has learned that the robot's dynamic properties change when holding a tool. Motion generation experiments show that the tool-body assimilation model is capable of applying to unknown tools to generate goal-oriented motions. © 2012 IEEE.

  • Efficient blind dereverberation and echo cancellation based on independent component analysis for actual acoustic signals

    Neural Computation   24 ( 1 ) 234 - 272  2012年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This letter presents a new algorithm for blind dereverberation and echo cancellation based on independent component analysis (ICA) for actual acoustic signals. We focus on frequency domain ICA (FD-ICA) because its computational cost and speed of learning convergence are sufficiently reasonable for practical applications such as hands-free speech recognition. In applying conventional FD-ICA as a preprocessing of automatic speech recognition in noisy environments, one of the most critical problems is how to copewith reverberations. To extract a clean signal from the reverberant observation, we model the separation process in the shorttime Fourier transform domain and apply the multiple input/output inverse-filtering theorem (MINT) to the FD-ICA separation model. A naive implementation of this method is computationally expensive, because its time complexity is the second order of reverberation time. Therefore, themain issue in dereverberation is to reduce the high computational cost of ICA. In this letter, wereduce the computational complexity to the linear order of the reverberation time by using two techniques: (1) a separation model based on the independence of delayed observed signals with MINT and (2) spatial sphering for preprocessing. Experiments show that the computational cost grows in proportion to the linear order of the reverberation time and that ourmethod improves the word correctness of automatic speech recognition by 10 to 20 points in a RT20 =670 ms reverberant environment. © 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In this paper, we underline the importance of non-verbal, visual communication for ensemble synchronization at the start, during and end of a piece. We propose three cues for interplayer communication, and present a thereminplaying, singing robot that can detect them and adapt its play to a human flutist. Experiments with two naive flutists suggest that the system can recognize naturally occurring flutist gestures without requiring specialized user training. In addition, we show how the use of audio-visual aggregation can allow a robot to adapt to tempo changes quickly. © 2012 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden and The Robotics Society of Japan.

  • A multimodal tempo and beat-tracking system based on audiovisual information from live guitar performances

     概要を見る

    The aim of this paper is to improve beat-tracking for live guitar performances. Beat-tracking is a function to estimate musical measurements, for example musical tempo and phase. This method is critical to achieve a synchronized ensemble performance such as musical robot accompaniment. Beat-tracking of a live guitar performance has to deal with three challenges: tempo fluctuation, beat pattern complexity and environmenta noise. To cope with these problems, we devise an audiovisual integration method for beat-tracking. The auditory beat features are estimated in terms of tactus (phase) and tempo (period) by Spectro-Temporal Pattern Matching (STPM), robust against stationary noise. The visual beat features are estimated by tracking the position of the hand relative to the guitar using optical flow, mean shift and the Hough transform. Both estimated features are integrated using a particle filter to aggregate the multimodal information based on a beat location model and a hand's trajectory model. Experimental results confirm that our beat-tracking improves the F-measure by 8.9 points on average over the Murata beat-tracking method, which uses STPM and rule-based beat detection. The results also show that the system is capable of real-time processing with a suppressed number of particles while preserving the estimation accuracy. We demonstrate an ensemble with the humanoid HRP-2 that plays the theremin with a human guitarist. © 2012 Itohara et al; licensee Springer.

  • Towards expressive musical robots: A cross-modal framework for emotional gesture, voice and music

    Eurasip Journal on Audio, Speech, and Music Processing   2012 ( 1 ) 3 - 3  2012年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    It has been long speculated that expression of emotions from different modalities have the same underlying 'code', whether it be a dance step, musical phrase, or tone of voice. This is the first attempt to implement this theory across three modalities, inspired by the polyvalence and repeatability of robotics. We propose a unifying framework to generate emotions across voice, gesture, and music, by representing emotional states as a 4-parameter tuple of speed, intensity, regularity, and extent (SIRE). Our results show that a simple 4-tuple can capture four emotions recognizable at greater than chance across gesture and voice, and at least two emotions across all three modalities. An application for multi-modal, expressive music robots is discussed. © 2012 Lim et al; licensee Springer.

     概要を見る

    This paper focuses on blind speech separation in under-determined conditions, that is, in the case when there are more sound sources than microphones. We introduce a sound source model based on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) to represent a speech signal in the time-frequency domain, and derive rules for updating the model parameters using the auxiliary function method. Our GMM sound source model consists of two kinds of Gaussians: sharp ones representing harmonic parts and smooth ones representing nonharmonic parts. Experimental results reveal that our method outperforms the method based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) by 0.7dB in the signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR), and by 1.7dB in the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR). This means that our method effectively removes interference coming from other talkers. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

    We present a method of blind source separation (BSS) for speech signals using a complex extension of infinite sparse factor analysis (ISFA) in the frequency domain. Our method is robust against delayed signals that usually occur in real environments, such as reflections, short-time reverberations, and time lags of signals arriving at microphones. ISFA is a conventional non-parametric Bayesian method of BSS, which has only been applied to time domain signals because it can only deal with real signals. Our method uses complex normal distributions to estimate source signals and mixing matrix. Experimental results indicate that our method outperforms the conventional ISFA in the average signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR). © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

  • Initialization-robust multipitch estimation based on latent harmonic allocation using overtone corpus

     概要を見る

    We present a new method for modeling the overtone structures of musical instruments that uses an overtone corpus generated using a MIDI synthesizer. Since multipitch estimation requires a joint estimation of F0's and their overtone structures, one of the most important problems is the overtone structure modeling. Latent harmonic allocation (LHA), a promising multipitch estimation method, is difficult to use for various applications because it requires appropriate prior distributions of the overtone structures, which cannot be determined from statistical evidence. Our method uses an overtone corpus to avoid the problem of setting prior distributions and instead restricts the lower and upper bounds of each overtone weight. The bounds are determined from reference signals generated by a MIDI synthesizer. Experimental results demonstrated that the overtone structures were stably and accurately estimated for a wide variety of initial settings. © 2012 IEEE.

    Our goal is to give mobile robots a rich representation of their environment as fast as possible. Current mapping methods such as SLAM are often sparse, and scene reconstruction methods using tilting laser scanners are relatively slow. In this paper, we outline a new method for iterative construction of a geometric mesh using streaming time-of-flight range data. Our results show that our algorithm can produce a stable representation after 6 frames, with higher accuracy than raw time-of-flight data. © 2012 IEEE.

  • Rhythm-based adaptive localization in incomplete RFID landmark environments

    Kenri Kodaka, Tetsuya Ogata, Shigeki Sugano

    Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation     2108 - 2114  2012年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper proposes a novel hybrid-structured model for the adaptive localization of robots combining a stochastic localization model and a rhythmic action model, for avoiding vacant spaces of landmarks efficiently. In regularly arranged landmark environments, robots may not be able to detect any landmarks for a long time during a straight-like movement. Consequently, locally diverse and smooth movement patterns need to be generated to keep the position estimation stable. Conventional approaches aiming at the probabilistic optimization cannot rapidly generate the detailed movement pattern due to a huge computational cost; therefore a simple but diverse movement structure needs to be introduced as an alternative option. We solve this problem by combining a particle filter as the stochastic localization module and the dynamical action model generating a zig-zagging motion. The validation experiments, where virtual-line-tracing tasks are exhibited on a floor-installed RFID environment, show that introducing the proposed rhythm pattern can improve a minimum error boundary and a velocity performance for arbitrary tolerance errors can be improved by the rhythm amplitude adaptation fed back by the localization deviation. © 2012 IEEE.

    We present an adaptive pitch control method for a theremin playing robot in ensemble. The problem of the theremin playing is its sensitivity to the environment. This degrades the pitch accuracy because its pitch characteristics are time varying caused by, such as a co-player motion during the ensemble. We solve this problem using a state space model of this characteristics and an unscented Kalman filter. Experimental results show that our method reduces the pitch error the EKF and block-wise update method by 90% and 77% on average, and the robot can play a musical score of 72.9 cent error on average. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.

    We have developed a method that identifies musical chords in polyphonic musical signals. As musical chords mainly represent the harmony of music and are related to other musical elements such as melody and rhythm, we should be able to recognize chords more effectively if this interrelationship is taken into consideration. We use bass pitches as clues for improving chord recognition. The proposed chord recognition system is constructed based on Viterbi-algorithm- based maximum a posteriori estimation that uses a posterior probability based on chord features, chord transition patterns, and bass pitch distributions. Experimental results with 150 Beatles songs that has keys and no modulation showed that the recognition rate was 73.7% on average. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.

  • Self-organization of object features representing motion using Multiple Timescales Recurrent Neural Network

    Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks     1 - 8  2012年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Affordance theory suggests that humans recognize the environment based on invariants. Invariants are features that describe the environment offering behavioral information to humans. Two types of invariants exist, structural invariants and transformational invariants. In our previous paper, we developed a method that self- organizes transformational invariants, or motion features, from camera images based on robot's experiences. The model used a bi-directional technique combining a recurrent neural network for dynamics learning, namely Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB), and a hierarchical neural network for feature extraction. The bi-directional training method developed in the previous work was effective in clustering the motion of objects, but the analysis did not give good segregation results of the self-organized features (transformational invariants) among different motion types. In this paper, we present a refined model which integrates dynamics learning and feature extraction in a single model. The refined model is comprised of Multiple Timescales Recurrent Neural Network (MTRNN), which possesses better learning capability than RNNPB. Self-organization result of four types of motions have proved the model's capability to create clusters of object motions. The analysis showed that the model extracted feature sequences with different characteristics for four object motion types. © 2012 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    We propose neural models for segmenting the area of a body from visual scene based on predictability. Neuroscience has shown that a prediction model in brain, which predicts sensory-feedback from motor command, can divide the sensory-feedback into the self-motion derived feedback and other derived feedback. The prediction model is important for prediction control of the body. Previous studies in robotics of the prediction model assumed that a robot can recognize the position of its body (e.g. its hand) and that the view contains only that body part. In our models, motor commands and visual feedback (pixel image that includes not only a hand but also object and background) are input into a neural network model and then the body area is segmented and prediction model of body is acquired. Our model contains two parts: 1) An object detection model obtains a conversion system between object positions and the pixel image. 2) A movement prediction model predicts hand-object positions from motor commands and identifies the body. We confirmed that our models can segment the body/object area based on their pixel textures and discriminate between them by using prediction error. © 2012 IEEE.

  • Who is the leader in a multiperson ensemble? - Multiperson human-robot ensemble model with leaderness - Multiperson h

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a state space model for a multiperson ensemble and an estimation method of the onset timings, tempos, and leaders. In a multiperson ensemble, determining one explicit leader is difficult because (1) participants' rhythms are mutually influenced and (2) they compete with each other. Most ensemble studies however assumed that one leader exists at a time and the others just follow the leader. To deal with the multiple and time-varying leaders, we define leaderness indicating the power to influence the others as the product of the tempo stability and the distance from the ensemble tempo. This definition means that a leader should have a strong desire to change the current tempo. Using the leaderness, we present a state space model of a multiperson ensemble and an unscented Kalman filter based estimation method. The model consists of the leaderness update, the ensemble tempo update, the individual tempo update, and the onset timing adaptation, each of which has a relationship to psychological results of an ensemble. We evaluate our method using simulation and human behavior. The simulation results show that our model is stable for various initial tempos and the number of participants. For the human behavior, pairs and triads of participants are asked to tap keys in synchronization with the others. The results show that the leaderness successfully indicate the dynamics of the leaders, and the onset errors are 181msec and 241msec for pairs and triads on average, respectively, which are comparable to those of humans (153msec and 227msec for pairs and triads, respectively.) © 2012 IEEE.

  • Improvement of audio-visual score following in robot ensemble with human guitarist

     概要を見る

    Our goal is to create an ensemble between human guitarists and music robots, e.g., singing and playing instruments robots. Such robots need to detect the tempo and beat time of the music. Score following and beat tracking, which requires and does not requires a score, are commonly used for this purpose. Score following is an incremental audio-to-score alignment. Although most score following methods assume that players have a precise score, most scores for guitarists have only melody and chord sequences without any beat patterns. An audio-visual beat tracking for guitarists is reported that improves the accuracy of beat detection. However, the result of this method is still insufficient because it uses only onset information, not pitch information, and because the hand tracking shows low accuracy. In this paper, we report a multimodal score following for a guitar performance, an extension of an audio-visual beat tracking method. The main difference is to use chord sequences to improve tracking of audio signals and depth information to improve tracking of guitar playing. Chord sequences are used for the calculation of chord correlation between the input and a score. Depth information is used in the guitar plane masking by three dimensional Hough transform, for the stable detection of a hand. Finally, the system extracts score positions and tempos by a particle-filter based integration of audio and visual features, The resulting score following system improves the tempo and the score position of a performance by 0.2 [sec] compared to an existing system. © 2012 IEEE.

    聞く,見るは,共演者が仲間の演奏者とテンポを合わせて演奏するために重要なスキルである.画像キュー(cue,合図)を検知し,他の演奏者に耳を傾けることによって,演奏者はいっせいに演奏を始め,テンポの緩急の合図に合わせ,さらに,いっせいに演奏を終えることができる.本稿では,人間のフルート奏者がアンサンブルリーダを担い,ロボットは伴奏者として人間の演奏に追従する問題を扱う.まず,フルート奏者の3種類のジェスチャを提案し,画像キューによる認識,音響ビートと画像キューとの統合によるテンポ推定について述べ,テルミン演奏共演ロボットのジェスチャ認識について報告する.初期実験で3タイプの画像キューが83%以上で検出できること,また,画像キューと音響ビート検出とを組み合わせることにより,テンポ検出が0.5秒以内に行えればビート追跡が安定することが分かった.この結果,フルート奏者の指示に合わせて共演者音楽ロボットがテルミンを演奏し,歌を歌うことが可能となった.Listening and watching are important skills for co-players to play in time with fellow musicians. By detecting visual cues and listening to other players, musicians can start together, stop together, and follow a leader's visual cues of changes in tempo. In this paper, we formalize three visual cues for the case of flutists, and describe how our thereminist robot co-player system detects them. Initial experiments show over 83% detection rates for our 3 types of visual cues. Additionally, by coupling visual cues and acoustic beat detection, the robot can extract a tempo in half a second. The resulting robot co-player can play theremin and sing a song with the lead of a human flutist.

    本稿では、楽器パート毎に、楽譜と音響信号のアライメントを算出する手法を提案する。本手法では、各楽器パートに共通の、自己回帰過程に従うテンポモデルを持たせる。各楽器パートの時系列は隠れセミマルコフモデルに従い、状態継続長の事前分布としてテンポモデルを持つ。また、音響信号の出力は潜在的調波配分法に従う。パート間の揺らぎを持たせない場合の、アライメントの性能を評価し、アライメント手法としての有用性が確認された。また、演奏における発音タイミングの揺らぎがモデル化できることが示唆された。This paper presents a method to align an audio signal and individual music instrument parts comprising a music score. Such method allows a machine to analyze temporal interaction of music performers. Proposed method is based on fitting multiple Hidden Semi-Markov Models (HSMM) to the observed audio signal, each HSMM of which emits Latent Harmonic Allocation parameters. Each HSMM corresponds to a music instrument part, and the state duration probability is conditioned on an auto-regressive tempo model. Evaluation suggests usefulness as score alignment method, and hints at the usefulness as multiple part alignment method.

     概要を見る

    Our goal is to crate a robot which can communicate with people for a long time. To make this possible, we are developing a customizable communication robot "WEAR (Waseda Extendable ARchitecture)". We also provided modules, and experimental subjects can customize the robot by inserting them into the module-port. At the same time, the robot can recognize the customize, and it also can express its autonomy by rejecting the customization by ejecting the module. In this paper, we proposed the communication model to grow self-efficacy. And as the result of the experiments, we found that the proposed communication model is preferred by user than all-accept communication model.

  • Emergence of hierarchical structure mirroring linguistic composition in a recurrent neural network

     概要を見る

    We show that a Multiple Timescale Recurrent Neural Network (MTRNN) can acquire the capabilities to recognize, generate, and correct sentences by self-organizing in a way that mirrors the hierarchical structure of sentences: characters grouped into words, and words into sentences. The model can control which sentence to generate depending on its initial states (generation phase) and the initial states can be calculated from the target sentence (recognition phase). In an experiment, we trained our model over a set of unannotated sentences from an artificial language, represented as sequences of characters. Once trained, the model could recognize and generate grammatical sentences, even if they were not learned. Moreover, we found that our model could correct a few substitution errors in a sentence, and the correction performance was improved by adding the errors to the training sentences in each training iteration with a certain probability. An analysis of the neural activations in our model revealed that the MTRNN had self-organized, reflecting the hierarchical linguistic structure by taking advantage of the differences in timescale among its neurons: in particular, neurons that change the fastest represented "characters", those that change more slowly, "words", and those that change the slowest, "sentences". © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

    パーティクルフィルタによる楽譜追従は,音響信号と楽譜との距離に基づくパーティクル重みの計算によって追従性能が大きく左右される.従来のベクトル内積計算やシグモイド関数を用いた重み計算手法では,音響信号の非調波成分や楽器の音色のバリエーションにより,楽譜位置推定が正しい場合,誤った場合でそれぞれの重みに大きな差が生じず,最終的に推定された楽譜位置に誤差が含まれるという問題点があった.本稿では,過去に計算された距離の累積頻度から重みを動的に計算し,正しい楽譜位置ではより高い重みを計算する.評価実験では,累積頻度を用いた重み計算法が,従来の重み計算法よりも楽譜追従精度で改善することが確認された.

    This paper describes a speaker localization system using two microphonesembedded in the head of the SIG-2 humanoid robot. Nowadays, studies based onmicrophone arrays utilize many microphones to obtain high detectionperformance in acoustical engineering. However, using multiple microphoneswould raise costs and hinder maintenance. To achieve good results in speakerlocalization only with two low-cost microphones, we employ the statisticalmodel-based voice activity detection (VAD) and a sound-source-directionestimator based on the generalized cross-correlation with phase transform(GCC-PHAT). The experimental results show that SIG-2 can localize a callerreliably when the speaker calls robot's name in the azimuth.

  • Robot Audition based on Multiple-Input Independent Component Analysis for Recognizing Barge-In Speech under Reverberation

    JRSJ   27 ( 7 ) 782 - 792  2011年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a new method based on independent component analysis (ICA) for enhancing a target source and suppressing other interfering sound sources, supposed that the latter are known. The method can provides in a reverberant environment a barge-in-able robot audition system; that is, the user can talk to the robot at any time even when the robot speaks. Our method separates and dereverberates the user&#039;s speech and the robot&#039;s one by using Multiple Input ICA. The critical issue for real-time processing is to reduce the computational complexity of Multiple Input ICA to the linear order of the reverberation time, which has not been proposed so far. We attain it by exploit the property of the independence relationship between late observed signals and late speech signals. Experimental results show that 1) the computational complexity of our method is less than the na&amp;iuml;ve Multiple Input ICA method, and that 2) our method improves word correctness of automatic speech recognition under barge-in and reverberant situations; by at most 40 points for reverberation time of 240[ms] and 30 points for 670[ms].

  • Phoneme Acquisition based on Vowel Imitation Model using Recurrent Neural Network and Physical Vocal Tract Model

    JRSJ   27 ( 7 ) 802 - 813  2011年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper proposes a continuous vowel imitation system that explains the process of phoneme acquisition by infants from the dynamical systems perspective. Almost existing models concerning this process dealt with discrete phoneme sequences. Human infants, however, have no knowledge of phoneme innately. They perceive speech sounds as continuous acoustic signals. The imitation target of this study is continuous acoustic signals including unknown numbers and kinds of phonemes. The key ideas of the model are (1) the use of a physical vocal tract model called the Maeda model for embodying the motor theory of speech perception, (2) the use of a dynamical system called the Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB) trained with both dynamics of the acoustic signals and articulatory movements of the Maeda model, and (3) the segmenting method of a temporal sequence using the prediction error of the RNNPB model. The experiments of our model demonstrated following results: (a) the self-organization of the vowel structure into attractors of RNNPB model, (b) the improvement of vowel imitation using movement of the Maeda model, and (c) the generation of clear vowels based on the bubbling process trained with a few random utterances. These results suggest that our model reflects the process of phoneme acquisition.

  • Real-time audio-to-score alignment using particle filter for coplayer music robots

    Eurasip Journal on Advances in Signal Processing   2011  2011年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Our goal is to develop a coplayer music robot capable of presenting a musical expression together with humans. Although many instrument-performing robots exist, they may have difficulty playing with human performers due to the lack of the synchronization function. The robot has to follow differences in humans' performance such as temporal fluctuations to play with human performers. We classify synchronization and musical expression into two levels: (1) melody level and (2) rhythm level to cope with erroneous synchronizations. The idea is as follows: When the synchronization with the melody is reliable, respond to the pitch the robot hears, when the synchronization is uncertain, try to follow the rhythm of the music. Our method estimates the score position for the melody level and the tempo for the rhythm level. The reliability of the score position estimation is extracted from the probability distribution of the score position. The experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms the existing score following system in 16 songs out of 20 polyphonic songs. The error in the prediction of the score position is reduced by 69 on average. The results also revealed that the switching mechanism alleviates the error in the estimation of the score position.

     概要を見る

    Navigation robots must single out partners requiring navigation and move in the cluttered environment where people walk around. Developing such robots requires two different people detections: detecting partners and detecting all moving people around the robots. For detecting partners, we design divided spaces based on the spatial relationships and sensing ranges. Mapping the friendliness of each divided space based on the stimulus from the multiple sensors to detect people calling robots positively, robots detect partners on the highest friendliness space. For detecting moving people, we regard objects' floor boundary points in an omnidirectional image as obstacles. We classify obstacles as moving people by comparing movement of each point with robot movement using odometry data, dynamically changing thresholds to detect. Our robot detected 95.0% of partners while it stands by and interacts with people and detected 85.0% of moving people while robot moves, which was four times higher than previous methods did.

  • Towards Written Text Recognition Based on Handwriting Experiences Using a Recurrent Neural Network.

    Adv. Robotics   25 ( 17 ) 2173 - 2187  2011年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    In this paper, we propose a model for recognizing written text through prediction of a handwriting sequence. The approach is based on findings in the brain sciences field. When recognizing written text, humans are said to unintentionally trace its handwriting sequence in their brains. Likewise, we aim to create a model that predicts a handwriting sequence from a static image of written text. The predicted handwriting sequence would be used to recognize the text. As the first step towards the goal, we created a model using neural networks, and evaluated the learning and recognition capability of the model using single Japanese characters. First, the handwriting image sequences for training are self-organized into image features using a self-organizing map. The self-organized image features are used to train the neuro-dynamics learning model. For recognition, we used both trained and untrained image sequences to evaluate the capability of the model to adapt to unknown data. The results of two experiments using 10 Japanese characters show the effectivity of the model. (C) Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden and The Robotics Society of Japan, 2011

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a Bayesian method for temporally aligning a music score and an audio rendition. A critical problem in audio-to-score alignment is in dealing with the wide variety of timbre and volume of the audio rendition. In contrast with existing works that achieve this through ad-hoc feature design or careful training of tone models, we propose a Bayesian audio-to-score alignment method by modeling music performance as a Bayesian Hidden Markov Model, each state of which emits a Bayesian signal model based on Latent Harmonic Allocation. After attenuating reverberation, variational Bayes method is used to iteratively adapt the alignment, instrument tone model and the volume balance at each position of the score. The method is evaluated using sixty works of classical music of a variety of instrumentation ranging from solo piano to full orchestra. We verify that our method improves the alignment accuracy compared to dynamic time warping based on chroma vector for orchestral music, or our method employed in a maximum likelihood setting. © 2011 IEEE.

    This paper presents a method of both separating audio mixtures into sound sources and identifying the musical instruments of the sources. A statistical tone model of the power spectrogram, called an integrated model, is defined and source separation and instrument identification are carried out on the basis of Bayesian inference. Since, the parameter distributions of the integrated model depend on each instrument, the instrument name is identified by selecting the one that has the maximum relative instrument weight. Experimental results showed correct instrument identification enables precise source separation even when many overtones overlap. © 2011 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Our goal is to develop a system that is able to learn and classify environmental sounds for robots working in the real world. In the real world, two main restrictions pertain in learning. First, the system has to learn using only a small amount of data in a limited time because of hardware restrictions. Second, it has to adapt to unknown data since it is virtually impossible to collect samples of all environmental sounds. We used a neuro-dynamical model to build a prediction and classification system which can self-organize sound classes into parameters by learning samples. The proposed system searches space of parameters for classifying. In the experiment, we evaluated the accuracy of classification for known and unknown sound classes. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

     概要を見る

    In real-world situations, people often hear more than two simultaneous sounds. For robots, when the number of sound sources exceeds that of sensors, the situation is called under-determined, and robots with two ears need to deal with this situation. Some studies on under-determined sound source separation use L1-norm minimization methods, but the performance of automatic speech recognition with separated speech signals is poor due to its spectral distortion. In this paper, a two-stage separation method to improve separation quality with low computational cost is presented. The first stage uses a L1-norm minimization method in order to extract the harmonic structures. The second stage exploits reliable harmonic structures to maintain acoustic features. Experiments that simulate three utterances recorded by two microphones in an anechoic chamber show that our method improves speech recognition correctness by about three points and is fast enough for real-time separation. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

     概要を見る

    Our goal is to achieve a robot audition system that is capable of recognizing multiple environmental sounds and making use of them in human-robot interaction. The main problems in environmental sound recognition in robot audition are: (1) recognition under a large amount of background noise including the noise from the robot itself, and (2) the necessity of robust feature extraction against spectrum distortion due to separation of multiple sound sources. This paper presents the environmental recognition of two sound sources fired simultaneously using matching pursuit (MP) with the Gabor wavelet, which extracts salient audio features from a signal. The two environmental sounds come from different directions, and they are localized by multiple signal classification and, using their geometric information, separated by geometric source separation with the aid of measured head-related transfer functions. The experimental results show the noise-robustness of MP although the performance depends on the properties of the sound sources. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

     概要を見る

    This paper presents an efficient algorithm to solve Lp-norm minimization problem for under-determined speech separation; that is, for the case that there are more sound sources than microphones. We employ an auxiliary function method in order to derive update rules under the assumption that the amplitude of each sound source follows generalized Gaussian distribution. Experiments reveal that our method solves the L1-norm minimization problem ten times faster than a general solver, and also solves Lp-norm minimization problem efficiently, especially when the parameter p is small; when p is not more than 0.7, it runs in real-time without loss of separation quality.

SSL is important for distant speech enhancement and simultaneous speech separation for improving speech recognition, as well as for auditory scene analysis by mobile robots. One of the draw- backs of existing SSL methods is the necessity of careful param- eter tunings, e.g., the sound source detection threshold depend- ing on the reverberation time and the number of sources. Our contribution consists of (1) automatic parameter estimation in the variational Bayesian framework and (2) tracking of sound sources with reliability. Experimental results demonstrate our method robustly tracks multiple sound sources in a reverberant environment with RT20 = 840 (ms). Copyright © 2011 ISCA.

  • Particle-filter based audio-visual beat-tracking for music robot ensemble with human guitarist

    IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems     118 - 124  2011年

     概要を見る

    This paper presents an audio-visual beat-tracking method for ensemble robots with a human guitarist. Beat-tracking, or estimation of tempo and beat times of music, is critical to the high quality of musical ensemble performance. Since a human plays the guitar in out-beat in back beat and syncopation, the main problems of beat-tracking of a human's guitar playing are twofold: tempo changes and varying note lengths. Most conventional methods have not addressed human's guitar playing. Therefore, they lack the adaptation of either of the problems. To solve the problems simultaneously, our method uses not only audio but visual features. We extract audio features with Spectro-Temporal Pattern Matching (STPM) and visual features with optical flow, mean shift and Hough transform. Our beat-tracking estimates tempo and beat time using a particle filter; both acoustic feature of guitar sounds and visual features of arm motions are represented as particles. The particle is determined based on prior distribution of audio and visual features, respectively Experimental results confirm that our integrated audio-visual approach is robust against tempo changes and varying note lengths. In addition, they also show that estimation convergence rate depends only a little on the number of particles. The real-time factor is 0.88 when the number of particles is 200, and this shows out method works in real-time. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Improvement of speaker localization by considering multipath interference of sound wave for binaural robot audition

    Ui Hyun Kim, Takeshi Mizumoto, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems     2910 - 2915  2011年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper presents an improved speaker localization method based on the generalized cross-correlation (GCC) method weighted by the phase transform (PHAT) for binaural robot audition. The problem with the conventional direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation based on the GCC-PHAT method is a multipath interference whereby a sound wave travels to microphones via the front-head path and the back-head path in binaural robot audition. This paper describes a new time delay factor for the GCC-PHAT method to compensate multipath interference on the assumption of spherical robot head. In addition, the restriction of the time difference of arrival (TDOA) estimation by the sampling frequency is also solved by applying the maximum likelihood (ML) estimation in frequency domain. Experiments conducted in the SIG-2 humanoid robot show that the proposed method reduces localization errors by 17.8 degrees on average and by over 35 degrees in side directions comparing to the conventional DOA estimation. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Classification of known and unknown environmental sounds based on self-organized space using a recurrent neural network

    Advanced Robotics   25 ( 17 ) 2127 - 2141  2011年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Our goal is to develop a system to learn and classify environmental sounds for robots working in the real world. In the real world, two main restrictions pertain in learning. (i) Robots have to learn using only a small amount of data in a limited time because of hardware restrictions. (ii) The system has to adapt to unknown data since it is virtually impossible to collect samples of all environmental sounds. We used a neuro-dynamical model to build a prediction and classification system. This neuro-dynamical model can self-organize sound classes into parameters by learning samples. The sound classification space, constructed by these parameters, is structured for the sound generation dynamics and obtains clusters not only for known classes, but also unknown classes. The proposed system searches on the basis of the sound classification space for classifying. In the experiment, we evaluated the accuracy of classification for both known and unknown sound classes. © 2011 Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden.

    Humans are said to unintentionally trace handwriting sequences in their brains based on handwriting experiences when recognizing written text. In this paper, we propose a model for predicting handwriting sequence for written text recognition based on handwriting experiences. The model is first trained using image sequences acquired while writing text. The image features of sequences are self-organized from the images using Self-Organizing Map. The feature sequences are used to train a neuro-dynamics learning model. For recognition, the text image is input into the model for predicting the handwriting sequence and recognition of the text. We conducted two experiments using ten Japanese characters. The results of the experiments show the effectivity of the model. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Incremental bayesian audio-to-score alignment with flexible harmonic structure models

    Proceedings of the 12th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference, ISMIR 2011     525 - 530  2011年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Music information retrieval, especially the audio-to-score alignment problem, often involves a matching problem between the audio and symbolic representations. We must cope with uncertainty in the audio signal generated from the score in a symbolic representation such as the variation in the timbre or temporal fluctuations. Existing audio-to-score alignment methods are sometimes vulnerable to the uncertainty in which multiple notes are simultaneously played with a variety of timbres because these methods rely on static observation models. For example, a chroma vector or a fixed harmonic structure template is used under the assumption that musical notes in a chord are all in the same volume and timbre. This paper presents a particle filterbased audio-to-score alignment method with a flexible observation model based on latent harmonic allocation. Our method adapts to the harmonic structure for the audio-toscore matching based on the observation of the audio signal through Bayesian inference. Experimental results with 20 polyphonic songs reveal that our method is effective when more number of instruments are involved in the ensemble. © 2011 International Society for Music Information Retrieval.

  • Converting emotional voice to motion for robot telepresence

     概要を見る

    In this paper we present a new method for producing affective motion for humanoid robots. The NAO robot, like other humanoids, does not possess facial features to convey emotion. Instead, our proposed system generates pose-independent robot movement using a description of emotion through speed, intensity, regularity and extent (DESIRE). We show how the DESIRE framework can link the emotional content of voice and gesture, without the need for an emotion recognition system. Our results show that DESIRE movement can be used to effectively convey at least four emotions with user agreement 60-75%, and that voices converted to motion through SIRE maintained the same emotion significantly higher than chance, even across cultures (German to Japanese). Additionally, portrayals recognized as happiness were rated significantly easier to understand with motion over voice alone. © 2011 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    In this paper, we present a new method that represents an overall musical time-varying impression of a song by a pair of mood trajectories estimated from lyrics and audio signals. The mood trajectory of the lyrics is obtained by using the probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) to estimate topics (representing impressions) from words in the lyrics. The mood trajectory of the audio signals is estimated from acoustic features by using the multiple linear regression analysis. In our experiments, the mood trajectories of 100 songs in Last.fm's Best of 2010 were estimated. The detailed analysis of the 100 songs confirms that acoustic features provide more accurate mood trajectory and the 21% resulting mood trajectories are matched to realistic musical mood available at Last.fm. © 2011 ACM.

    The objective of our study is to find out how a sparse structure affects the performance of a recurrent neural network (RNN). Only a few existing studies have dealt with the sparse structure of RNN with learning like Back Propagation Through Time (BPTT). In this paper, we propose a RNN with sparse connection and BPTT called Multiple time scale RNN (MTRNN). Then, we investigated how sparse connection affects generalization performance and noise robustness. In the experiments using data composed of alphabetic sequences, the MTRNN showed the best generalization performance when the connection rate was 40%. We also measured sparseness of neural activity and found out that sparseness of neural activity corresponds to generalization performance. These results means that sparse connection improved learning performance and sparseness of neural activity would be used as metrics of generalization performance. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

  • Exploring movable space using rhythmical active touch in disordered obstacle environment

     概要を見る

    We propose a novel navigation system for adaptively exploring an obstacle space using diverse ways of touching an object. Conventional navigation models are typically based on the avoidance of obstacles, i.e., avoiding collision. However, actual disordered space may be full of various kinds of obstacles. To reach a destination in such a space, a robot requires an active approach for avoiding a deadlock with obstacles or changing the obstacle configuration to find an open space using diverse ways of touching an object. We solved this problem by generating locally diverse moving patterns by using an action model with rhythmical oscillation in addition to a localization model using a particle filter. The proposed model was demonstrated to be effective through an experiment where a robot navigated to a destination behind partially movable obstacles using rhythmical active touch. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Predicting listener back-channels for human-agent interaction using neuro-dynamical model

     概要を見る

    The goal of our work is to create natural verbal interaction between humans and speech dialogue agents. In this paper, we focus on generations of back-channel for speech dialogue agents the same way humans do. To create such a system, the system needs to predict the appropriate timing of back-channel on the basis of the human's speech. For the prediction model, we use a neuro-dynamical system called a multiple timescale recurrent neural network (MTRNN). The model is trained using an actual corpus of a poster session of the IMADE project using the presenter's prosodic and visual information as features. Using the model, we conducted back-channel timing prediction experiments. The results showed that our system could predict back-channel timing about 0.5 seconds before generation of back-channel response. Comparing the results with the actual back-channel timing in the corpus, the system showed 37.1% of recall, 31.7% of precision, and 34.2% of F-measure. These results show the model to effectively predict and generate back-channel responses. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Identification of self-body based on dynamic predictability using neuro-dynamical system

     概要を見る

    The goal of our work is to acquire an internal model through a robot's experience. The internal model has the ability for mutual conversion between motor commands and movement of the body (e.g. hand) in view. Unlike other works, which assume the robot's body to be extracted in its view, we assume that external moving objects are also included in its view. We introduce predictability as a measure to segregate such objects from the robot's body: the robot's body is predictable while moving objects are not. Prediction is conducted using a neuro-dynamical system called the multiple timescales recurrent neural network (MTRNN). The prediction results of the robot's body are compared with the actual motion to distinguish the robot's body from other objects. For evaluation, we conducted an experiment with the robot moving its hand while moving objects were in view. The results of the experiment showed that the prediction of the robot's hand is 3.86 times as accurate as that of others on average. These results show the effectiveness of using predictability as a measure to acquire an internal model in an environment that includes both a robot's body and other moving objects in view. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Selecting help messages by using robust grammar verification for handling out-of-grammar utterances in spoken dialogue systems

    IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems   E93-D ( 12 ) 3359 - 3367  2010年12月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We address the issue of out-of-grammar (OOG) utterances in spoken dialogue systems by generating help messages. Help message generation for OOG utterances is a challenge because language understanding based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) of OOG utterances is usually erroneous; important words are often misrecognized or missing from such utterances. Our grammar verification method uses a weighted finite-state transducer, to accurately identify the grammar rule that the user intended to use for the utterance, even if important words are missing from the ASR results. We then use a ranking algorithm, RankBoost, to rank help message candidates in order of likely usefulness. Its features include the grammar verification results and the utterance history representing the user's experience. Copyright © 2010.

    Our goal is to create a robot which can communicate with people for a long time. To make this possible, we are developing a customizable communication robot "WEAR (Waseda Extendable ARchitecture)". We also provided modules, and experimental subjects can customize the robot by inserting them into the module-port. At the same time, the robot can recognize the customize, and it also can express its autonomy by rejecting the customization by ejecting the module. In this paper, we propose to introduce a requesting behavior (making sound and moving the module-port) into the robot as well as the rejecting behavior. As the result of experiments, we found that the impression of the sound differs among subjects in the view point of understanding the robot's request.

    本論文では,テルミンを演奏するロボットのためのテルミンの特性モデルと演奏動作生成手法について報告する.テルミンとは,演奏者の手の位置を動かして演奏する電子楽器である.楽器との物理的接触なしで連続的に音高と音量を操作できるので,ハードウェア構成が異なるロボットにも適用可能であるという点で,移植性が高い.テルミン演奏ロボットの主たる課題は,(1)動作生成の物理的な基準点がないので,演奏法学習に要する学習サンプル数が多くなること,および(2)演奏特性が静電的環境によって変化するので,適応的な演奏動作生成が必要であることの2点である.これらの課題に対して,我々は環境の影響をパラメータで表現した音高・音量特性モデルを構築し,少数の測定で音域内の任意の音を演奏できる制御手法を開発した.実験の結果,約12点の測定で音高が任意に制御できること,環境が変化しても所望の音高や音量で演奏できることを3種類のロボットで確認した.We present a theremin player robot towards an ensemble between humans and robots. A theremin, whose pitch and volume change continuously, can be played without any physical contacts. We thus expect that a robot system has high portability because it requires only few physical constraints. The problems for theremin playing are: (1) we have no physical reference points and (2) an environment affects sound characteristics seriously. To solve them, we develop a model-based feedforward arm control method based on our novel models of theremin's pitch and volume characteristics, which method realizes play an arbitrary sound using a few measurements. Experimental results show that our method works under four environments and three different robots.

    A system for mapping between different sensory modalities was developed for a robot system to enable it to generate motions expressing auditory signals and sounds generated by object movement. A recurrent neural network model with parametric bias, which has good generalization ability, is used as a learning model. Since the correspondences between auditory signals and visual signals are too numerous to memorize, the ability to generalize is indispensable. This system was implemented in the "Keepon" robot, and the robot was shown horizontal reciprocating or rotating motions with the sound of friction and falling or overturning motion with the sound of collision by manipulating a box object. Keepon behaved appropriately not only from learned events but also from unknown events and generated various sounds in accordance with observed motions. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Generally, user&#039;s behaviors such as barge-in timing and utterance expressions vary in accordance with the user&#039;s preference and the content of system utterances. To interpret users&#039; intention robustly, first, we analyze 1584 utterances collected by our systems with quiz and news-listing tasks and reveal that the ratio of using referential expressions depends on individual users and average lengths of listed items. Second, we incorporate this tendency as a prior probability into our probabilistic framework for identifying user&#039;s intended item. This prior probability is calculated by logistic regression. Experimental results show that our method improves the identification accuracy by as many as 6.2 points in the best case over the non-informative prior.

    本論文では,音声対話システムにおいて,複数の言語モデルと複数の言語理解モデルを用いることで,高精度な音声理解を行う手法について述べる.ユーザの発話によって適した言語モデル・言語理解モデルの組合せは異なることから,単一の音声理解方式で様々な発話に対して高精度な音声理解を実現することは難しい.そこで本論文では,まず,複数の言語モデルと言語理解モデルを用いて複数の理解結果を得ることで,理解結果の候補を得る.次に,得られた複数の理解結果に対して,ロジスティック回帰に基づき発話単位の信頼度を付与し,その信頼度が最も高い理解結果を選択する.本論文では,言語モデルとして文法モデルとN-gramモデルの2種類,言語理解モデルとしてFinite-State Transducer(FST)とWeighted FST(WFST),Keyphrase-Extractorの3種類を用いた.評価実験では,言語モデル・言語理解モデルのいずれかを複数用いた場合と比較して,コンセプト理解精度の向上が得られた.また,従来のROVER法による理解結果の統合と比較し,本手法の有効性を示した.

    本稿では,少量の学習データでも高精度な音声理解を実現する手法について述べる.学習データが少ない場合,単一の音声理解方式による精度は低い傾向にある.そこで本手法では,まず,複数の言語モデルと言語理解モデルを用いて複数の理解結果を得ることで,対処可能な発話を増やす.次に,得られた複数の理解結果に対して,ロジスティック回帰に基づき発話単位の信頼度を付与し,その信頼度が最も高い理解結果を選択する.ロジスティック回帰には,学習データ増加時の回帰係数の変化量に着目することで,必要最低限の学習データを割り当てる.評価実験では,学習データが少ない場合でも,単一の音声理解方式と比較して,本手法が高い音声理解精度を得られることを示す.We aim to improve a speech understanding module with a small amount of training data. High performance is not obtained by single speech understanding methods especially when the amount of available training data is small. We utilize multiple language models (LMs) and language understanding models (LUMs) to cover various user utterances. Then, the most appropriate speech understanding result is selected from several candidates on the basis of confidence measures calculated by logistic regressions. We determine necessary amount of training data for the regressions by focusing on changes in their coefficients when the training data increases. We evaluate our method for various amounts of training data and confirm that our method outperforms every single speech understanding method even when only a small amount of training data is available.

     概要を見る

    This paper presents the upper-limit evaluation of robot audition based on ICA-BSS in multi-source, barge-in and highly reverberant conditions. The goal is that the robot can automatically distinguish a target speech from its own speech and other sound sources in a reverberant environment. We focus on the multi-channel semi-blind ICA (MCSB-ICA), which is one of the sound source separation methods with a microphone array, to achieve such an audition system because it can separate sound source signals including reverberations with few assumptions on environments. The evaluation of MCSB-ICA has been limited to robot's speech separation and reverberation separation. In this paper, we evaluate MCSB-ICA extensively by applying it to multi-source separation problems under common reverberant environments. Experimental results prove that MCSB-ICA outperforms conventional ICA by 30 points in automatic speech recognition performance. ©2010 IEEE.

  • Improvement in listening capability for humanoid robot HRP-2

     概要を見る

    This paper describes improvement of sound source separation for a simultaneous automatic speech recognition (ASR) system of a humanoid robot. A recognition error in the system is caused by a separation error and interferences of other sources. In separability, an original geometric source separation (GSS) is improved. Our GSS uses a measured robot's head related transfer function (HRTF) to estimate a separation matrix. As an original GSS uses a simulated HRTF calculated based on a distance between microphone and sound source, there is a large mismatch between the simulated and the measured transfer functions. The mismatch causes a severe degradation of recognition performance. Faster convergence speed of separation matrix reduces separation error. Our approach gives a nearer initial separation matrix based on a measured transfer function from an optimal separation matrix than a simulated one. As a result, we expect that our GSS improves the convergence speed. Our GSS is also able to handle an adaptive step-size parameter. These new features are added into open source robot audition software (OSS) called "HARK" which is newly updated as version 1.0.0. The HARK has been installed on a HRP-2 humanoid with an 8-element microphone array. The listening capability of HRP-2 is evaluated by recognizing a target speech signal which is separated from a simultaneous speech signal by three talkers. The word correct rate (WCR) of ASR improves by 5 points under normal acoustic environments and by 10 points under noisy environments. Experimental results show that HARK 1.0.0 improves the robustness against noises. ©2010 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    We describe a novel dialogue strategy enabling robust interaction under noisy environments where automatic speech recognition (ASR) results are not necessarily reliable. We have developed a method that exploits utterance timing together with ASR results to interpret user intention, that is, to identify one item that a user wants to indicate from system enumeration. The timing of utterances containing referential expressions is approximated by Gamma distribution, which is integrated with ASR results by expressing both of them as probabilities. In this paper, we improve the identification accuracy by extending the method. First, we enable interpretation of utterances including ordinal numbers, which appear several times in our data collected from users. Then we use proper acoustic models and parameters, improving the identification accuracy by 4.0% in total. We also show that Latent Semantic Mapping (LSM) enables more expressions to be handled in our framework. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

  • Violin fingering estimation based on violin pedagogical fingering model constrained by bowed sequence estimation from audio input

     概要を見る

    This work presents an automated violin fingering estimation method that facilitates a student violinist acquire the "sound" of his/her favorite recording artist created by the artist's unique fingering. Our method realizes this by analyzing an audio recording played by the artist, and recuperating the most playable fingering that recreates the aural characteristics of the recording. Recovering the aural characteristics requires the bowed string estimation of an audio recording, and using the estimated result for optimal fingering decision. The former requires high accuracy and robustness against the use of different violins or brand of strings; and the latter needs to create a natural fingering for the violinist. We solve the first problem by detecting estimation errors using rule-based algorithms, and by adapting the estimator to the recording based on mean normalization. We solve the second problem by incorporating, in addition to generic stringed-instrument model used in existing studies, a fingering model that is based on pedagogical practices of violin playing, defined on a sequence of two or three notes. The accuracy of the bowed string estimator improved by 21 points in a realistic situation (38% → 59%) by incorporating error correction and mean normalization. Subjective evaluation of the optimal fingering decision algorithm by seven violinists on 22 musical excerpts showed that compared to the model used in existing studies, our proposed model was preferred over existing one (p=0.01), but no significant preference towards proposed method defined on sequence of two notes versus three notes was observed (p=0.05). © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

    Our goal is to achieve a musical ensemble among a robot and human musicians where the robot listens to the music with its own microphones. The main issues are (1) robust beat-tracking since the robot hears its own generated sounds in addition to the accompanied music, and (2) robust synchronizing its performance with the accompanied music even if humans' musical performance fluctuates. This paper presents a music-ensemble Thereminist robot implemented on the humanoid HRP-2 with the following three functions: (1) self-generated Theremin sound suppression by semi-blind Independent Component Analysis, (2) beat tracking robust against tempo fluctuation in humans' performance, and (3) feedforward control of Theremin pitch. Experimental results with a human drummer show the capability of this robot for the adaptation to the temporal fluctuation in his performance. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

  • Recognition and generation of sentences through self-organizing linguistic hierarchy using MTRNN

    Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics)   6098 LNAI ( PART 3 ) 42 - 51  2010年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We show that a Multiple Timescale Recurrent Neural Network (MTRNN) can acquire the capabilities of recognizing and generating sentences by self-organizing a hierarchical linguistic structure. There have been many studies aimed at finding whether a neural system such as the brain can acquire languages without innate linguistic faculties. These studies have found that some kinds of recurrent neural networks could learn grammar. However, these models could not acquire the capability of deterministically generating various sentences, which is an essential part of language functions. In addition, the existing models require a word set in advance to learn the grammar. Learning languages without previous knowledge about words requires the capability of hierarchical composition such as characters to words and words to sentences, which is the essence of the rich expressiveness of languages. In our experiment, we trained our model to learn language using only a sentence set without any previous knowledge about words or grammar. Our experimental results demonstrated that the model could acquire the capabilities of recognizing and deterministically generating grammatical sentences even if they were not learned. The analysis of neural activations in our model revealed that the MTRNN had self-organized the linguistic structure hierarchically by taking advantage of differences in the time scale among its neurons, more concretely, neurons that change the fastest represented "characters," those that change more slowly represented "words," and those that change the slowest represented "sentences." © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

  • Design and implementation of two-level synchronization for an interactive music robot

    Takuma Otsuka, Kazuhiro Nakadai, Tom Takahashi, Kazunori Komatanj, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    Proceedings of the National Conference on Artificial Intelligence   2   1238 - 1244  2010年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Our goal is to develop an interactive music robot, i.e., a robot that presents a musical expression together with humans. A music interaction requires two important functions: synchronization with the music and musical expression, such as singing and dancing. Many instrument-performing robots are only capable of the latter function, they may have difficulty in playing live with human performers. The synchronization function is critical for the interaction. We classify synchronization and musical expression into two levels: (1) the rhythm level and (2) the melody level. Two issues in achieving two-layer synchronization and musical expression are: (1) simultaneous estimation of the rhythm structure and the current part of the music and (2) derivation of the estimation confidence to switch behavior between the rhythm level and the melody level. This paper presents a score following algorithm, incremental audio to score alignment, that conforms to the two-level synchronization design using a particle filter. Our method estimates the score position for the melody level and the tempo for the rhythm level. The reliability of the score position estimation is extracted from the probability distribution of the score position. Experiments are carried out using polyphonic jazz songs. The results confirm that our method switches levels in accordance with the difficulty of the score estimation. When the tempo of the music is less than 120 (beats per minute; bpm), the estimated score positions are accurate and reported; when the tempo is over 120 (bpm), the system tends to report only the tempo to suppress the error in the reported score position predictions.

     概要を見る

    The optimal choice of speech understanding method depends on the amount of training data available in rapid prototyping. A statistical method is ultimately chosen, but it is not clear at which point in the increase in training data a statistical method become effective. Our framework combines multiple automatic speech recognition (ASR) and language understanding (LU) modules to provide a set of speech understanding results and selects the best result among them. The issue is how to allocate training data to statistical modules and the selection module in order to avoid overfitting in training and obtain better performance. This paper presents an automatic training data allocation method that is based on the change in the coefficients of the logistic regression functions used in the selection module. Experimental evaluation showed that our allocation method outperformed baseline methods that use a single ASR module and a single LU module at every point while training data increase.

     概要を見る

    In our barge-in-able spoken dialogue system, the user's behaviors such as barge-in timing and utterance expressions vary according to his/her characteristics and situations. The system adapts to the behaviors by modeling them. We analyzed 1584 utterances collected by our systems of quiz and news-listing tasks and showed that ratio of using referential expressions depends on individual users and average lengths of listed items. This tendency was incorporated as a prior probability into our method and improved the identification accuracy of the user's intended items. © 2010 ISCA.

     概要を見る

    Research on environmental sound recognition has not shown great development in comparison with that on speech and musical signals. One of the reasons is that the sound category of environmental sounds covers a broad range of acoustical natures. We classified them in order to explore suitable recognition techniques for each characteristic. We focus on impulsive sounds and their non-stationary feature within and between analytic frames. We used matching-pursuit as a framework to use wavelet analysis for extracting temporal variation of audio features inside a frame. We also investigated the validity of modeling decaying patterns of sounds using Hidden markov models. Experimental results indicate that sounds with multiple impulsive signals are recognized better by using time-frequency analyzing bases than by frequency domain analysis. Classification of sound classes with a long and clear decaying pattern improves when HMMs with multiple number of hidden states are applied. © 2010 ISCA.

  • SpeakBySinging: Converting singing voices to speaking voices while retaining voice timbre

    13th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects, DAFx 2010 Proceedings     14 - 121  2010年

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a singing-to-speaking synthesis system called "SpeakBySinging" that can synthesize a speaking voice from an input singing voice and the song lyrics. The system controls three acoustic features that determine the difference between speaking and singing voices: the fundamental frequency (F0), phoneme duration, and power (volume). By changing these features of a singing voice, the system synthesizes a speaking voice while retaining the timbre of the singing voice. The system first analyzes the singing voice to extract the F0 contour, the duration of each phoneme of the lyrics, and the power. These features are then converted to target values that are obtained by feeding the lyrics into a traditional text-to-speech (TTS) system. The system finally generates a speaking voice that preserves the timbre of the singing voice but has speech-like features. Experimental results show that SpeakBySinging can convert singing voices into speaking voices whose timbre is almost the same as the original singing voices.

  • Human-robot cooperation in arrangement of objects using confidence measure of neuro-dynamical system

     概要を見る

    The objective of our study was to develop dynamic collaboration between a human and a robot. Most conventional studies have created pre-designed rule-based collaboration systems to determine the timing and behavior of robots to participate in tasks. Our aim is to introduce the confidence of the task as a criterion for robots to determine their timing and behavior. In this paper, we report the effectiveness of applying reproduction accuracy as a measure for quantitatively evaluating confidence in an object arrangement task. Our method is comprised of three phases. First, we obtain human-robot interaction data through the Wizard of OZ method. Second, the obtained data are trained using a neuro-dynamical system, namely, the Multiple Time-scales Recurrent Neural Network (MTRNN). Finally, the prediction error in MTRNN is applied as a confidence measure to determine the robot's behavior. The robot participated in the task when its confidence was high, while it just observed when its confidence was low. Training data were acquired using an actual robot platform, Hiro. The method was evaluated using a robot simulator. The results revealed that motion trajectories could be precisely reproduced with a high degree of confidence, demonstrating the effectiveness of the method. ©2010 IEEE.

  • Exploiting harmonic structures to improve separating simultaneous speech in under-determined conditions

    Yasuharu Hirasawa, Toru Takahashi, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    IEEE/RSJ 2010 International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS 2010 - Conference Proceedings     450 - 457  2010年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    In real-world situations, a robot may often encounter "under- determined" situation, where there are more sound sources than microphones. This paper presents a speech separation method using a new constraint on the harmonic structure for a simultaneous speech-recognition system in under-determined conditions. The requirements for a speech separation method in a simultaneous speech-recognition system are (1) ability to handle a large number of talkers, and (2) reduction of distortion in acoustic features. Conventional methods use a maximum likelihood estimation in sound source separation, which fulfills requirement (1). Since it is a general approach, the performance is limited when separating speech. This paper presents a two-stage method to improve the separation. The first stage uses maximum likelihood estimation and extracts the harmonic structure, and the second stage exploits the harmonic structure as a new constraint to achieve requirement (2). We carried out an experiment that simulated three simultaneous utterances using impulse responses recorded by two microphones in an anechoic chamber. The experimental results revealed that our method could improve speech recognition correctness by about four points. ©2010 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Predictability is an important factor for determining robot motions. This paper presents a model to generate robot motions based on reliable predictability evaluated through a dynamics learning model which self-organizes object features. The model is composed of a dynamics learning module, namely Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB), and a hierarchical neural network as a feature extraction module. The model inputs raw object images and robot motions. Through bi-directional training of the two models, object features which describe the object motion are self-organized in the output of the hierarchical neural network, which is linked to the input of RNNPB. After training, the model searches for the robot motion with high reliable predictability of object motion. Experiments were performed with the robot's pushing motion with a variety of objects to generate sliding, falling over, bouncing, and rolling motions. For objects with single motion possibility, the robot tended to generate motions that induce the object motion. For objects with two motion possibilities, the robot evenly generated motions that induce the two object motions. ©2010 IEEE.

  • An improvement in automatic speech recognition using soft missing feature masks for robot audition

     概要を見る

    We describe integration of preprocessing and automatic speech recognition based on Missing-Feature-Theory (MFT) to recognize a highly interfered speech signal, such as the signal in a narrow angle between a desired and interfered speakers. As a speech signal separated from a mixture of speech signals includes the leakage from other speech signals, recognition performance of the separated speech degrades. An important problem is estimating the leakage in time-frequency components. Once the leakage is estimated, we can generate missing feature masks (MFM) automatically by using our method. A new weighted sigmoid function is introduced for our MFM generation method. An experiment shows that a word correct rate improves from 66 % to 74 % by using our MFM generation method tuned by a search base approach in the parameter space. ©2010 IEEE.

    Musicians often have the following problem: they have a music score that requires 2 or more players, but they have no one with whom to practice. So far, score-playing music robots exist, but they lack adaptive abilities to synchronize with fellow players' tempo variations. In other words, if the human speeds up their play, the robot should also increase its speed. However, computer accompaniment systems allow exactly this kind of adaptive ability. We present a first step towards giving these accompaniment abilities to a music robot. We introduce a new paradigm of beat tracking using 2 types of sensory input - visual and audio - using our own visual cue recognition system and state-of-the-art acoustic onset detection techniques. Preliminary experiments suggest that by coupling these two modalities, a robot accompanist can start and stop a performance in synchrony with a flutist, and detect tempo changes within half a second. ©2010 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a novel synchronizing method for a human-robot ensemble using coupled oscillators. We define an ensemble as a synchronized performance produced through interactions between independent players. To attain better synchronized performance, the robot should predict the human's behavior to reduce the difference between the human's and robot's onset timings. Existing studies in such synchronization only adapts to onset intervals, thus, need a considerable time to synchronize. We use a coupled oscillator model to predict the human's behavior. Experimental results show that our method reduces the average of onset time errors; when we use a metronome, a tempo-varying metronome or a human drummer, errors are reduced by 38%, 10% or 14% on the average, respectively. These results mean that the prediction of human's behaviors is effective for the synchronized performance. ©2010 IEEE.

  • Speedup and performance improvement of ica-based robot audition by parallel and resampling-based block-wise processing

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a speedup and performance improvement of multi-channel semi-blind ICA (MCSB-ICA) with parallel and resampling-based block-wise processing. MCSB-ICA is an integrated method of sound source separation that accomplishes blind source separation, blind dereverberation, and echo cancellation. This method enables robots to separate user's speech signals from observed signals including the robot's own speech, other speech and their reverberations without a priori information. The main problem when MCSB-ICA is applied to robot audition is its high computational cost. We tackle this by multi-threading programming, and the two main issues are 1) the design of parallel processing and 2) incremental implementation. These are solved by a) multiple-stack-based parallel implementation, and b) resampling-based overlaps and block-wise separation. The experimental results proved that our method reduced the real-time factor to less than 0.5 with an eight-core CPU, and it improves the performance of automatic speech recognition by 2.10 points compared with the single-stack-based parallel implementation without the resampling technique. ©2010 IEEE.

  • Method of discriminating known and unknown environmental sounds using recurrent neural network

    SCIS and ISIS 2010 - Joint 5th International Conference on Soft Computing and Intelligent Systems and 11th International Symposium on Advanced Intelligent Systems     378 - 383  2010年

     概要を見る

    This paper describes our method to classify nonspeech environmental sounds for robots working. In the real world, two main restrictions pertain in learning. First, robots have to learn using only a small amount of sounds in a limited time and space because of restrictions. Second, it has to detect unknown sounds to avoid false classification since it is virtually impossible to collect samples of all environmental sounds. Most of the previous methods require a huge number of samples of all target sounds, including noises, for training stochastic models such as the Gaussian mixture model. In contrast, we use a neurodynamical model to build a prediction and classification system. The neuro-dynamical system can be trained with a small amount of sounds and generalize others by inferring the sound generation dynamics. After training, a self-organized space is structured for the sound generation dynamics. The proposed system classify on the basis of the self-organized space. The prediction results of sounds are used for determining unknown sounds in our system. In this paper, we show the results of preliminary experiments on the proposed model's classification of known and unknown sound classes.

  • Query-by-example music information retrieval by score-informed source separation and remixing technologies

     概要を見る

    We describe a novel query-by-example (QBE) approach in music information retrieval that allows a user to customize query examples by directly modifying the volume of different instrument parts. The underlying hypothesis of this approach is that the musical mood of retrieved results changes in relation to the volume balance of different instruments. On the basis of this hypothesis, we aim to clarify the relationship between the change in the volume balance of a query and the genre of the retrieved pieces, called genre classification shift. Such an understanding would allow us to instruct users in how to generate alternative queries without finding other appropriate pieces. Our QBE system first separates all instrument parts from the audio signal of a piece with the help of its musical score, and then it allows users remix these parts to change the acoustic features that represent the musical mood of the piece. Experimental results showed that the genre classification shift was actually caused by the volume change in the vocal, guitar, and drum parts. © 2010 Katsutoshi Itoyama et al.

     概要を見る

    A humanoid robot must recognize a target speech signal while people around the robot chat with them in real-world. To recognize the target speech signal, robot has to separate the target speech signal among other speech signals and recognize the separated speech signal. As separated signal includes distortion, automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance degrades. To avoid the degradation, we trained an acoustic model from non-clean speech signals to adapt acoustic feature of distorted signal and adding white noise to separated speech signal before extracting acoustic feature. The issues are (1) To determine optimal noise level to add the training speech signals, and (2) To determine optimal noise level to add the separated signal. In this paper, we investigate how much noises should be added to clean speech data for training and how speech recognition performance improves for different positions of three talkers with soft masking. Experimental results show that the best performance is obtained by adding white noises of 30 dB. The ASR with the acoustic model outperforms with ASR with the clean acoustic model by 4 points. © 2009 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    We aim at developing a singer robot capable of listening to music with its own "ears" and interacting with a human's musical performance. Such a singer robot requires at least three functions: listening to the music, understanding what position in the music is being performed, and generating a singing voice. In this paper, we focus on the second function, that is, the capability to align an audio signal to its musical score represented symbolically. Issues underlying the score alignment problem are: (1) diversity in the sounds of various musical instruments, (2) difference between the audio signal and the musical score, (3) fluctuation in tempo of the musical performance. Our solutions to these issues are as follows: (1) the design of features based on a chroma vector in the 12-tone model and onset of the sound, (2) defining the rareness for each tone based on the idea that scarcely used tone is salient in the audio signal, and (3) the use of a switching Kalman filter for robust tempo estimation. The experimental result shows that our score alignment method improves the average of cumulative absolute errors in score alignment by 29% using 100 popular music tunes compared to the beat tracking without score alignment. © 2009 IEEE.

  • Phoneme acquisition model based on vowel imitation using recurrent neural network

     概要を見る

    A phoneme-acquisition system was developed using a computational model that explains the developmental process of human infants in the early period of acquiring language. There are two important findings in constructing an infant's acquisition of phonemes: (1) an infant's vowel like cooing tends to invoke utterances that are imitated by its caregiver, and (2) maternal imitation effectively reinforces infant vocalization. Therefore, we hypothesized that infants can acquire phonemes to imitate their caregivers' voices by trial and error, i. e., infants use self-vocalization experience to search for imitable and unimitable elements in their caregivers' voices. On the basis of this hypothesis, we constructed a phoneme acquisition process using interaction involving vowel imitation between a human and an infant model. Our infant model had a vocal tract system, called the Maeda model, and an auditory system implemented by using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) through STRAIGHT analysis. We applied Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB) to learn the experience of self-vocalization, to recognize the human voice, and to produce the sound imitated by the infant model. To evaluate imitable and unimitable sounds, we used the prediction error of the RNNPB model. The experimental results revealed that as imitation interactions were repeated, the formants of sounds imitated by our system moved closer to those of human voices, and our system could self-organize the same vowels in different continuous sounds. This suggests that our system can reflect the process of phoneme acquisition. © 2009 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    We propose a model of evolutionary interaction between two robots where signs used for communication emerge through mutual adaptation. Signs used in human interaction, e.g., language, gestures and eye contact change and evolve in form and meaning through repeated use. To create flexible human-like interaction systems, it is necessary to deal with signs as a dynamic property and to construct a framework in which signs emerge from mutual adaptation by agents. Our target is multi-modal interaction using voice and motion between two robots where a voice/motion pattern is used as a sign referring to a motion/voice pattern. To enable evolutionary signs (voice and motion patterns) to be recognized and generated, we utilized a dynamics model: Multiple Timescale Recurrent Neural Network (MTRNN). To enable the robots to interpret signs, we utilized hierarchical neural networks, which transform dynamics model parameters of voice/motion into those of motion/voice. In our experiment, two robots modified their own interpretation of signs constantly through mutual adaptation in interaction where they responded to the other's voice with motion one after the other. As a result of the experiment, we found that the interaction kept evolving through the robots' repeated and alternate miscommunications and readaptations, and this induced the emergence of diverse new signs that depended on the robots' body dynamics through the generalization capability of MTRNN. © 2009 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a step-size parameter adaptation technique of multi-channel semi-blind independent component analysis (MCSB-ICA) for a "barge-in-able" robot audition system. By "barge-in", we mean that the user can speak simultaneously when the robot is speaking. We focused on MCSB-ICA to achieve such an audition system because it can separate a user's and a robot's speech under reverberant environments. The problem with MCSB-ICA for robot audition is the slow speed of convergence in estimating a separation filter due to its step-size parameters. Many optimization methods cannot be adopted because their computational costs are proportional to the 2nd order of the reverberation time. Our method yields adaptive step-size parameters with MCSB-ICA at low computational costs. It is based on three techniques; 1) recursive expression of the separation process, 2) a piecewise linear model of the step-size of the separation filter, and 3) adaptive step-size parameters with a sub-ICA-filter. Experimental results show that our approach attains faster convergence speed and lower computational costs than those with a fixed step-size parameter. © 2009 IEEE.

    Tool-body assimilation is one of the intelligent human abilities. Through trial and experience, humans are capable of using tools as if they are part of their own bodies. This paper presents a method to apply a robot's active sensing experience for creating the tool-body assimilation model. The model is composed of a feature extraction module, dynamics learning module, and a tool recognition module. Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is used for the feature extraction module to extract object features from raw images. Multiple Time-scales Recurrent Neural Network (MTRNN) is used as the dynamics learning module. Parametric Bias (PB) nodes are attached to the weights of MTRNN as second-order network to modulate the behavior of MTRNN based on the tool. The generalization capability of neural networks provide the model the ability to deal with unknown tools. Experiments are performed with HRP-2 using no tool, I-shaped, T-shaped, and L-shaped tools. The distribution of PB values have shown that the model has learned that the robot's dynamic properties change when holding a tool. The results of the experiment show that the tool-body assimilation model is capable of applying to unknown objects to generate goal-oriented motions. © 2009 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    People usually talk face to face when they communicate with their partner. Therefore, in robot audition, the recognition of the front talker is critical for smooth interactions. This paper presents an enhanced speech detection method for a humanoid robot that can separate and recognize speech signals originating from the front even in noisy home environments. The robot audition system consists of a new type of voice activity detection (VAD) based on the complex spectrum circle centroid (CSCC) method and a maximum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) beamformer. This VAD based on CSCC can classify speech signals that are retrieved at the frontal region of two microphones embedded on the robot. The system works in real-time without needing training filter coefficients given in advance even in a noisy environment (SNR > 0 dB). It can cope with speech noise generated from televisions and audio devices that does not originate from the center. Experiments using a humanoid robot, SIG2, with two microphones showed that our system enhanced extracted target speech signals more than 12 dB (SNR) and the success rate of automatic speech recognition for Japanese words was increased by about 17 points. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden and The Robotics Society of Japan, 2009.

     概要を見る

    We applied motion theory to robot audition to improve the inadequate performance. Motions are critical for overcoming the ambiguity and sparseness of information obtained by two microphones. To realise this, we first designed a sound source localisation system integrated with cross-power spectrum phase (CSP) analysis and an EM algorithm. The CSP of sound signals obtained with only two microphones was used to localise the sound source without having to measure impulse response data. The expectation-maximisation (EM) algorithm helped the system to cope with several moving sound sources and reduce localisation errors. We then proposed a way of constructing a database for moving sounds to evaluate binaural sound source localisation. We evaluated our sound localisation method using artificial moving sounds and confirmed that it could effectively localise moving sounds slower than 1.125 rad/s. Consequently, we solved the problem of distinguishing whether sounds were coming from the front or rear by rotating and/or tipping the robot's head that was equipped with only two microphones. Our system was applied to a humanoid robot called SIG2, and we confirmed its ability to localise sounds over the entire azimuth range as the success rates for sound localisation in the front and rear areas were 97.6% and 75.6% respectively. © 2009 Taylor & Francis.

  • Parameter Estimation for Harmonic and Inharmonic Models by Using Timbre Feature Distributions

     概要を見る

    We describe an improved way of estimating parameters for an integrated weighted-mixture model consisting of both harmonic and inharmonic tone models. Our final goal is to build an instrument equalizer (music remixer) that enables a user to change the volume of parts of polyphonic sound mixtures. To realize the instrument equalizer, musical signals must be separated into each musical instrument part. We have developed a score-informed sound source separation method using the integrated model. A remaining but critical problem is to find a way to deal with timbre varieties caused by various performance styles and instrument bodies because our method used template sounds to represent their timbre. Template sounds are generated from a MIDI tone generator based on an aligned score. Difference of instrument bodies between mixed signals and template sounds causes timbre difference and decreases separation performance. To solve this problem, we train probabilistic distributions of timbre features using various sounds to reduce template dependency. By adding a new constraint of maximizing the likelihood of timbre features extracted from each tone model, we can estimate model parameters that express the timbre more accurately. Experimental results show that separation performance improved from 4.89 to 8.48 dB.We describe an improved way of estimating parameters for an integrated weighted-mixture model consisting of both harmonic and inharmonic tone models.

  • 音声対話システムにおける文法検証結果と発話履歴に基づくヘルプメッセージ候補のランキング

     概要を見る

    本稿では,ヘルプメッセージを提示することにより,音声対話システムにおける想定外発話の問題に取り組む.想定外発話に対する音声認識結果では,重要な単語が誤認識されていたり,ユーザが十分な情報を発話しない場合があるため,想定外発話に対するヘルプメッセージ生成は困難な課題である.本稿ではまず,重みつき有限状態トランスデューサ (WFST) を用いて,想定外発話に対する文法検証手法を開発した.この文法検証では,音声認識結果中の重要な単語が抜けている場合でも,ユーザが意図した表現に最も近い文法を同定する.さらに,この文法検証結果やユーザの経験を表す対話履歴を特徴として用いて,RankBoost アルゴリズムによりヘルプメッセージ候補の順序付けを行った.We address an issue of out-of-grammar (OOG) utterances in spoken dialogue systems by generating help messages for novice users. Help generation for OOG utterances is a challenging problem because language understanding (LU) results based on automatic speech recognition (ASR) results for such utterances are always erroneous as important words are often misrecognized or missed from such utterances. We first develop grammar verification for OOG utterances by using a Weighted Finite-State Transducer (WFST). It robustly identifies a grammar rule that a user intends to utter, even when some important words are missed from the ASR result. We then adopt a ranking algorithm, RankBoost, whose features include the grammar verification results and the utterance history representing the user's experience.

    本報告書では,楽器演奏音響信号の分析合成における,入力中の伴奏音や残響成分を抑制した分析手法を報告する.対象演奏パートの楽譜情報に合致しないスペクトル成分を表現する残差スペクトルモデルを導入し, これを用いて伴奏や残響を含む音響信号から対象の演奏を効率よく分離する. 調波非調波統合音モデルに用いた演奏分析をこの分離と同時に行い, 分析された音モデルを用いて未知楽譜への演奏を合成する.評価実験では, 伴奏付き演奏に対する分析精度が本手法によりスペクトル距離において平均 35.2% 改善し, また残響を含む演奏に対する分析合成精度の低下を回避できる事が確認された.This paper presents a musical performance analysis-and-synthesis method using residual model for reduction of accompaniment or sound reverberation. The residual model is designed for representing spectrum that the score does not convey about the performance. This leads to an efficient extraction of a performed part from accompanied and/or reverberant audio source. The extraction is performed simultaneously with estimation of musical tone models that represent both harmonic and inharmonic sound of the performance. Using the estimated tone models, a new performance sound corresponding to a new given score is synthesized. An experiment showed that the spectral distance of one instrument part extracted from polyphonic audio source improved by 35.0 points by incorporating the residual model. Another result showed the effectiveness of our method under reverberant source.

    自然な会話を実現できる音声対話システムでは,ユーザが自由なタイミングや言語表現で発話できることが望ましい.我々は,ユーザが任意のタイミングでシステム発話に割り込み(バージイン)できる手法を開発している.本手法では,Independent Component Analysis (ICA) に基づくセミブラインド音源分離を利用している.本稿では,システムが列挙する項目に対してユーザがバージイン発話で指定した対象を同定するために,ユーザのバージイン発話から得られるタイミング情報を用いて解釈する新手法について報告する.まず,ユーザが参照表現を用いて発話する場合のタイミング分布を,予備調査の結果に基づき,ガンマ分布で近似する.次に,システムの読み上げる各項目に対して,ユーザ発話がそのタイミングで解釈されるべき場合とその音声認識結果で解釈されるべき場合とをそれぞれ確率として表現する.これら2つの確率を統合し,最も尤度の高い項目をユーザの指示対象と同定する.システムが列挙する項目の一つを指定するユーザのバージイン発話400発話に対して,本手法が2つのベースライン手法(音声認識結果のみから指示対象を同定する手法,及び,ユーザの発話タイミングのみから指示対象を同定する手法) よりも高精度に同定できることを実験により確認した.In conversational dialogue systems, the user prefers to speak at any time and to use natural expressions. We have developed an Independent Component Analysis (ICA) based semiblind source separation method, which allows users to barge-in over system utterances at any time. We create a novel method from timing information derived from barge-in utterances to identify one item that a user indicates during system enumeration. First, we determine the timing distribution of user utterances containing referential expressions and then approximate it using gamma distribution. Second, we represent both the utterance timing and automatic speech recognition (ASR) results as probabilities of the desired selection from the system&#039;s enumeration. We then integrate these two probabilities to identify the item having the maximum likelihood of selection. Experimental results using 400 utterances indicated that our method outperformed two methods used as a baseline (one of ASR results only and one of utterance timing only) in identification accuracy.

     概要を見る

    Users often abbreviate long words when using spoken dialogue systems, which results in automatic speech recognition (ASR) errors. We define abbreviated words as sub-words of an original word and add them to the ASR dictionary. The first problem we face is that proper nouns cannot be correctly segmented by general morphological analyzers, although long and compound words need to be segmented in agglutinative languages such as Japanese. The second is that, as vocabulary size increases, adding many abbreviated words degrades the ASR accuracy. We have developed two methods, (1) to segment words by using conjunction probabilities between characters, and (2) to adjust occurrence probabilities of generated abbreviated words on the basis of the following two cues: phonological similarities between the abbreviated and original words and frequencies of abbreviated words in Web documents. Our method improves ASR accuracy by 34.9 points for utterances containing abbreviated words without degrading the accuracy for utterances containing original words. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg Spoken dialogue systems*abbreviated words*adjusting occurrence probabilities.

  • Automatic estimation of reverberation time with robot speech to improve ICA-based robot audition

    Ryu Takeda, Kazuhiro Nakadai, Toru Takahashi, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    9th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, HUMANOIDS09     250 - 255  2009年

     概要を見る

    This paper presents an ICA-based robot audition system which estimates the reverberation time of the environment automatically by using the robot's own speech. The system is based on multi-channel semi-blind independent component analysis (MCSB-ICA), a source separation method using a microphone array that can separate user and robot speech under reverberant environments. Perception of the reverberation time (RT) is critical, because an inappropriate RT degrades separation performance and increases processing time. Unlike most previous methods that assume the RT is given in advance, our method estimates an RT by using the echo's intensity of the robot's own speech. It has three steps: speaks a sentence in a new environment, calculates the relative powers of the echoes, and estimates the RT using linear regression of them. Experimental results show that this method sets an appropriate RT for MCSB-ICA for real-world environments and that word correctness is improved by up to 6 points and processing time is reduced by up to 60%. ©2009 IEEE.

  • ICA-based efficient blind dereverberation and echo cancellation method for barge-in-able robot audition

    ICASSP, IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing - Proceedings     3677 - 3680  2009年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a new method that allows "Barge-In" in various environments for robot audition. "Barge-in" means that a user begins to speak simultaneously while a robot is speaking. To achieve the function, we must deal with problems on blind dereverberation and echo cancellation at the same time. We adopt Independent Component Analysis (ICA) because it essentially provides a natural framework for these two problems. To deal with reverberation, we apply a Multiple Input/Output INverse-filtering Theorem-based model of observation to the frequency domain ICA. The main problem is its high-computational cost of ICA. We reduce the computational complexity to the linear order of reverberation time by using two techniques: 1) a separation model based on observed signal independence, and 2) enforced spatial sphering for preprocessing. The experimental results revealed that our method improved word correctness of reverberant speech by 10-20 points. ©2009 IEEE.

  • Human tracking system integrating sound and face localization using an expectation-maximization algorithm in real environments

    Hyun Don Kim, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    Advanced Robotics   23 ( 6 ) 629 - 653  2009年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We have developed a human tracking system for use by robots that integrate sound and face localization. Conventional systems usually require many microphones and/or prior information to localize several sound sources. Moreover, they are incapable of coping with various types of background noise. Our system, the cross-power spectrum phase analysis of sound signals obtained with only two microphones, is used to localize the sound source without having to use prior information such as impulse response data. An expectation- maximization (EM) algorithm is used to help the system cope with several moving sound sources. The problem of distinguishing whether sounds are coming from the front or back is also solved with only two microphones by rotating the robot's head. A developed method that uses facial skin colors classified by another EM algorithm enables the system to detect faces in various poses. It can compensate for the error in the sound localization for a speaker and also identify noise signals entering from undesired directions by detecting a human face. A developed probability-based method is used to integrate the auditory and visual information in order to produce a reliable tracking path in real-time. Experiments using a robot showed that our system can localize two sounds at the same time and track a communication partner while dealing with various types of background noise. © 2009 Koninklijke Brill NV.

  • Continuous vocal imitation with self-organized vowel spaces in recurrent neural network

    Hisashi Kanda, Tetsuya Ogata, Toru Takahashi, Kazunori Komatani, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation     4438 - 4443  2009年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    A continuous vocal imitation system was developed using a computational model that explains the process of phoneme acquisition by infants. Human infants perceive speech sounds not as discrete phoneme sequences but as continuous acoustic signals. One of critical problems in phoneme acquisition is the design for segmenting these continuous speech sounds. The key idea to solve this problem is that articulatory mechanisms such as the vocal tract help human beings to perceive speech sound units corresponding to phonemes. To segment acoustic signal with articulatory movement, we apply the segmenting method to our system by Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB). This method determines the multiple segmentation boundaries in a temporal sequence using the prediction error of the RNNPB model, and the PB values obtained by the method can be encoded as kind of phonemes. Our system was implemented by using a physical vocal tract model, called the Maeda model. Experimental results demonstrated that our system can self-organize the same phonemes in different continuous sounds, and can imitate vocal sound involving arbitrary numbers of vowels using the vowel space in the RNNPB. This suggests that our model reflects theprocess of phoneme acquisition. © 2009 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    In order to facilitate public involvement in the consensus building process needed for community development, a lot of time and effort needs to be spent on assessing and sharing public concerns. This paper presents new approaches for support for context sharing that involve visualizing public meeting records. The first approach is to visualize the transition of topics to enable the user to grasp an overview and to find specific arguments. The second is to visualize topic-related information to enable the user to understand background. The third is to visualize the auditory scene to enable the user to find and to listen to paralinguistic (prosodic) information contained in audio recordings. These approaches are designed on the basis of Visual Information-Seeking Mantra, "Overview first, zoom and filter, then details on demand." These approaches support citizens and stakeholders to find, to track, and to understand target arguments from the records of a public meeting. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

  • Parameter estimation for harmonic and inharmonic models by using timbre feature distributions

    Katsutoshi Itoyama, Masataka Goto, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    Journal of Information Processing   17 ( 7 ) 191 - 201  2009年

     概要を見る

    We describe an improved way of estimating parameters for an integrated weighted-mixture model consisting of both harmonic and inharmonic tone models. Our final goal is to build an instrument equalizer (music remixer) that enables a user to change the volume of parts of polyphonic sound mixtures. To realize the instrument equalizer, musical signals must be separated into each musical instrument part. We have developed a score-informed sound source separation method using the integrated model. A remaining but critical problem is to find a way to deal with timbre varieties caused by various performance styles and instrument bodies because our method used template sounds to represent their timbre. Template sounds are generated from a MIDI tone generator based on an aligned score. Difference of instrument bodies between mixed signals and template sounds causes timbre difference and decreases separation performance. To solve this problem, we train probabilistic distributions of timbre features using various sounds to reduce template dependency. By adding a new constraint of maximizing the likelihood of timbre features extracted from each tone model, we can estimate model parameters that express the timbre more accurately. Experimental results show that separation performance improved from 4.89 to 8.48 dB.

     概要を見る

    Reliable predictability is one of the main factors that determine human behaviors. The authors developed a model that searches and generates robot motions based on reliable predictability. Training of the model consists of three phases. In the first phase, the model trains a sequential learner, namely Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias, to self-organize robot and object dynamics. In the second phase, Steepest Descent Method is utilized to search for robot motion that induces the most predictable object motion. In the third phase, a hierarchical neural network is trained to link object image with the searched motion. Experiments were conducted with cylindrical objects. Analysis of the results have shown that the robot has acquired the most reliable robot motion, shifting it according to the posture of the object. Twenty motion generation experiments have resulted in generation of robot motion that induces consistent rolling motion of the objects. ©2009 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    This paper presents novel methods for support for browsing a long meeting record towards supporting public involvement. Facilitating public involvement in the consensus building process for community development needs a lot of effort and time for sharing context and concerns among citizens and stakeholders. A record of public meeting often becomes too long to overview and to understand for people who did not participate in it. The two issues we addressed relate to how to best provide support for these people. First, support for overviewing the changes in a long meeting to track and to find intended arguments. Second, support for understanding the background of arguments. The approaches to the issues are first, to visualize the transition of topics in the meeting, and second provide information related to a transient topic specified by a user. The meeting browser we developed is designed on the basis of Visual Information-Seeking Mantra, "Overview first, zoom and filter, then details on demand." To visualize a dynamic topic flow, a graph for visualizing the topic transition, SalienceGraph is used to track the dynamic transition of the salience of a word. To visualize related information, the search engine based on SalienceGraph retrieves passages related to a transient topic from past meeting records or documents. These approaches support citizens and stakeholders to find, to track, and to understand a target argument from a long meeting record. © 2009 IEEE.

  • Query-by-Example music retrieval approach based on musical genre shift by changing instrument volume

    Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects, DAFx 2009     205 - 212  2009年

     概要を見る

    We describe a novel Query-by-Example (QBE) approach in Music Information Retrieval, which allows a user to customize query examples by directly modifying the volume of different instrument parts. The underlying hypothesis is that the musical genre shifts (changes) in relation to the volume balance of different instruments. On the basis of this hypothesis, we aim to clarify the relationship between the change of the volume balance of a query and the shift in the musical genre of retrieved similar pieces, and thus help instruct a user in generating alternative queries without choosing other pieces. Our QBE system first separates all instrument parts from the audio signal of a piece with the help of its musical score, and then lets a user remix those parts to change acoustic features that represent musical mood of the piece. The distribution of those features is modeled by the Gaussian Mixture Model for each musical piece, and the Earth Movers Distance between mixtures of different pieces is used as the degree of their mood similarity. Experimental results showed that the shift was actually caused by the volume change of vocal, guitar, and drums.

  • Improving speech understanding accuracy with limited training data using multiple language models and multiple understanding models

     概要を見る

    We aim to improve a speech understanding module with a small amount of training data. A speech understanding module uses a language model (LM) and a language understanding model (LUM). A lot of training data are needed to improve the models. Such data collection is, however, difficult in an actual process of development. We therefore design and develop a new framework that uses multiple LMs and LUMs to improve speech understanding accuracy under various amounts of training data. Even if the amount of available training data is small, each LM and each LUM can deal well with different types of utterances and more utterances are understood by using multiple LM and LUM. As one implementation of the framework, we develop a method for selecting the most appropriate speech understanding result from several candidates. The selection is based on probabilities of correctness calculated by logistic regressions. We evaluate our framework with various amounts of training data. Copyright © 2009 ISCA.

  • Changing timbre and phrase in existing musical performances as you like - Manipulations of single part using harmonic and inharmonic models

    MM'09 - Proceedings of the 2009 ACM Multimedia Conference, with Co-located Workshops and Symposiums     203 - 212  2009年

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a new music manipulation method that can change the timbre and phrases of an existing instrumental performance in a polyphonic sound mixture. This method consists of three primitive functions: 1) extracting and analyzing of a single instrumental part from polyphonic music signals, 2) mixing the instrument timbre with another, and 3) rendering a new phrase expression for another given score. The resulting customized part is re-mixed with the remaining parts of the original performance to generate new polyphonic music signals. A single instrumental part is extracted by using an integrated tone model that consists of harmonic and inharmonic tone models with the aid of the score of the single instrumental part. The extraction incorporates a residual model for the single instrumental part in order to avoid crosstalk between instrumental parts. The extracted model parameters are classified into their averages and deviations. The former is treated as instrument timbre and is customized by mixing, while the latter is treated as phrase expression and is customized by rendering. We evaluated our method in three experiments. The first experiment focused on introduction of the residual model, and it showed that the model parameters are estimated more accurately by 35.0 points. The second focused on timbral customization, and it showed that our method is more robust by 42.9 points in spectral distance compared with a conventional sound analysis-synthesis method, STRAIGHT. The third focused on the acoustic fidelity of customizing performance, and it showed that rendering phrase expression according to the note sequence leads to more accurate performance by 9.2 points in spectral distance in comparison with a rendering method that ignores the note sequence.

  • Voice quality manipulation for humanoid robots consistent with their head movements

    9th IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, HUMANOIDS09     405 - 410  2009年

     概要を見る

    This paper presents voice-quality control of humanoid robots based on a new model of spectral envelope modification corresponding to the vertical head motions, and left-right sound-pressure modulation corresponding to the horizontal head motions. We assume that a pitch-axis rotation, or a vertical head motion, and a yaw-axis rotation, or a horizontal head motion, affect the voice quality independently. Spectral envelope modification model is constructed based on the analysis of human vocalizations. Left-right sound-pressure modulation model is established through the measurements of impulse responses using a pair of microphones. The experiments are carried out using two humanoid robots HRP-2 and Robovie-R2. Experimental results show that our method presents the change in the voice quality derived from pitch-axis head movement in a robot-to-robot dialogue situation when the interval between the robots are 50 cm. It is also confirmed that an observable modulation in the voice quality declines as the distance between the robots becomes large. The voice-cast directionality caused by yaw-axis rotation is observable using our model even when the robots stand as far as 150 cm away. ©2009 IEEE.

  • Bowed string sequence estimation of a violin based on adaptive audio signal classification and context-dependent error correction

    ISM 2009 - 11th IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia     9 - 16  2009年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    The sequence of strings played on a bowed string instrument is essential to understanding of the fingering. Thus, its estimation is required for machine understanding of violin playing. Audio-based identification is the only viable way to realize this goal for existing music recordings. A naïve implementation using audio classification alone, however, is inaccurate and is not robust against variations in string or instruments. We develop a bowed string sequence estimation method by combining audio-based bowed string classification and context-dependent error correction. The robustness against different setups of instruments improves by normalizing the F0-dependent features using the average feature of a recording. The performance of error correction is evaluated using an electric violin with two different brands of strings and and an acoustic violin. By incorporating mean normalization, the recognition error of recognition accuracy due to changing the string alleviates by 8 points, and that due to change of instrument by 12 points. Error correction decreases the error due to change of string by 8 points and that due to different instrument by 9 points. © 2009 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Spoken dialogue systems must inevitably deal with out-of-grammar utterances. We address this problem in multi-domain spoken dialogue systems, which deal with more tasks than a single-domain system. We defined a topic by augmenting a domain about which users want to find more information, and we developed a method of recovering out-of-grammar utterances based on topic estimation, i.e., by providing a help message in the estimated domain. Moreover, domain extensibility, that is, the ability to add new domains to the system, should be inherently retained in multi-domain systems. To estimate domains without sacrificing extensibility, we collected documents from the Web as training data. Since the data contained a certain amount of noise, we used latent semantic mapping (LSM), which enables robust topic estimation by removing the effects of noise from the data. Experimental results showed that our method improved topic estimation accuracy by 23.2 points for data including out-of-grammar utterances. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • A game-theoretic model of referential coherence and its empirical verification using large Japanese and English corpora

    Shun Shiramatsu, Kazunori Komatani, Kôiti Hasida, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    ACM Transactions on Speech and Language Processing   5 ( 3 ) 1 - 27  2008年10月

     概要を見る

    Referential coherence represents the smoothness of discourse resulting from topic continuity and pronominalization. Rational individuals prefer a referentially coherent structure of discourse when they select a language expression and its interpretation. This is a preference for cooperation in communication. By what principle do they share coherent expressions and interpretations? Centering theory is the standard theory of referential coherence [Grosz et al. 1995]. Although it is well designed on the bases of first-order inference rules [Joshi and Kuhn 1979], it does not embody a behavioral principle for the cooperation evident in communication. Hasida [1996] proposed a game-theoretic hypothesis in relation to this issue. We aim to empirically verify Hasida's hypothesis by using corpora of multiple languages. We statistically design language-dependent parameters by using a corpus of the target language. This statistical design enables us to objectively absorb language-specific differences and to verify the universality of Hasida's hypothesis by using corpora. We empirically verified our model by using large Japanese and English corpora. The result proves the language universality of the hypothesis.

    音声対話システムの開発の初期段階において,言語理解部は,(i) 構築が容易,(ii)様々な表現に対して頑健という2条件を満たす必要がある.本論文では,大量のコーパス収集や人手での詳細な言語理解ルールの記述を行うことなしに,簡単に言語理解部を構築する(ラピッドプロトタイピング)手法について述べる.本手法では,音声認識誤りを含む入力に対して,Weighted Finite State Transducer(WFST)により言語理解結果を出力する.この際の重みは複数種類を定義したうえで,学習データに基づき最適な重みづけを選択する.この重みづけは従来のWFSTを利用した手法に比べて簡単であるため,少ない学習データで動作する.本手法を2つのドメインで評価した結果,本手法では100発話程度の学習で,ベースライン手法より高いコンセプト正解精度が得られた.開発の初期段階にある新たなドメインであっても,この程度の量の発話を集めることは容易であり,本手法は言語理解部のラピッドタイピングに適している.Language understanding (LU) modules for spoken dialogue systems in an early phase of their development need to be (i) easy to construct, and (ii) robust against various expressions. In this paper, we describe a method for constructing LU modules easily without a large amount of corpus or complicated handcrafted rules. An LU result is selected with Weighted Finite State Transducer from an automatic speech recognition output that may contain speech recognition errors. We designed several weighting schemes. A weighting scheme is determined by using training data. Since these weighting schemes are simpler than conventional methods, our method does not need a large amount of data for determining an optimal scheme. We evaluated our method in two different domains. The results revealed that our method outperformed baseline methods with less than one hundred utterances as training data, which can be reasonably prepared for new domains. This shows that our method is appropriate for a rapid prototyping of LU modules.

    音声対話システムにおいてユーザはしばしば名称の一部を省略して発話し,音声認識誤りを招く.我々は,「簡略表現」を単語の一部を省略した表現として定義し,簡略表現を音声認識辞書に自動追加する.簡略表現の取得には,日本語では複合語を分割する必要があるが,形態素解析器のみの分割では固有名詞は必ずしも正確に分割できない.さらに,多くの簡略表現を辞書に追加すると,語彙サイズの増加により音声認識精度が劣化する.我々は,前者の問題に対し,形態素解析器に加えて辞書内の文字間の連接確率を用いることで固有名詞の複合語を分割した.後者の問題に対しては,生成した簡略表現の生起確率を,既存辞書の語との音素列の類似度に応じて操作した.本手法で簡略表現を自動追加した結果,既存辞書内の語彙のみを含む発話に対する単語正解精度の劣化を 0.1 ポイントに抑えながら,簡略表現を含む発話の単語正解精度を,既存の辞書による場合と比較して 24.2 ポイント向上させた.Users often abbreviate long words when using spoken dialogue systems, which results in automatic speech recognition (ASR) errors. We define abbreviated words as sub-words of the original word, and automatically add them into an ASR dictionary. Two issues arise during this vocabulary expansion. The first problem is that proper nouns cannot be correctly segmented by general morphological analyzers, although long and compounded words need to be segmented in agglutinative languages such as Japanese. The second is that, as the vocabulary size increases, adding many abbreviated words degrades the ASR accuracy. We develop two methods, (1) to segment words by using conjunction probabilities between characters, and (2) to manipulate occurrence probabilities of generated abbreviated words on the basis of the phonological similarities between abbreviated and original words. By our method, the ASR accuracy was improved by 24.2 points for utterances containing abbreviated words, with only a 0.1 point degradation of ASR accuracy for those containing words in the original dictionary.

     概要を見る

    Prediction of dynamic features is an important task for determining the manipulation strategies of an object. This paper presents a technique for predicting dynamics of objects relative to the robot's motion from visual images. During the training phase, the authors use the recurrent neural network with parametric bias (RNNPB) to self-organize the dynamics of objects manipulated by the robot into the PB space. The acquired PB values, static images of objects and robot motor values are input into a hierarchical neural network to link the images to dynamic features (PB values). The neural network extracts prominent features that each induce object dynamics. For prediction of the motion sequence of an unknown object, the static image of the object and robot motor value are input into the neural network to calculate the PB values. By inputting the PB values into the closed loop RNNPB, the predicted movements of the object relative to the robot motion are calculated recursively. Experiments were conducted with the humanoid robot Robovie-IIs pushing objects at different heights. The results of the experiment predicting the dynamics of target objects proved that the technique is efficient for predicting the dynamics of the objects. © 2008 VSP.

  • Motion from sound: Intermodal neural network mapping

    Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno, Hideki Kozima

    IEEE Intelligent Systems   23 ( 2 ) 76 - 78  2008年03月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    A technological method has been developed for intermodal mapping to generate robot motion from various sounds as well as to generate sounds from motions. The procedure consists of two phases, first the learning phase in which it observes some events together with associated sounds and then memorizes those sounds along with the motions of the sound source. Second phase is the interacting phase in which the robot receives limited sensory information from a single modality as input and associates this with different modality and expresses it. The recurrent-neural-network model with parametric bias (RNNPB) is applied that uses the current state-vector as input for outputting the next state-vector. The RNNPB model can self-organize the values that encode the input dynamics into special parametric-bias modes to reproduce he multimodal sensory flow.

    本論文では,多重奏の音楽音響信号とその楽曲に含まれるすべての単音の音高・音長・音量・発音時刻・楽器の種類の組である楽譜情報を入力として,単音ごとの音響信号を出力する音源分離手法と,そのための制約付きモデルパラメータ推定手法について述べる.本分離手法では,Standard MIDIb File(SMF)などから抽出された楽譜情報を用いることで混合音のパワースペクトルを単音ごとに分離し,調波構造と非調波構造のそれぞれを表現する2 つのモデルを統合した新たな重み付き混合モデルを用いることで,単音に複数の調波構造が含まれることを防ぎ,かつ音高を超えた楽器音の音色類似性を考慮することを実現する.モデルパラメータは,楽譜情報に基づいてMIDI 音源から生成したテンプレート音によって初期化し,EM アルゴリズムを用いた最大事後確率推定により反復推定する.さらに,モデルの過学習を防ぎ,同一楽器の単音のモデルに類似した音色を持たせるための制約条件も同時に用いる.ポピュラー音楽のSMF を用いた評価実験で,本手法によりSNR が0.4 ? 0.9dB向上することを確認した.This paper describes a sound sourse separation method for polyphonic sound mixtures of musical signals which include both harmonic instrument sounds and inharmonic instrument sounds, and a constrained parameter estimation method by using a score which includes pitch, duration, volume, onset time, and instrument of each note as prior information. We separate a power spectrum of sound mixtures into each musical note by using an integrated weighted-mixture model consisting of both harmonic-structure and inharmonic-structure tone models (generative models for the power spectrogram). The integrated model realize a parameter estimation method under a constraint of parameter similarity in the same musical instruments. We initialize model parameters using template sounds which are recorded from a MIDI tone generator. On the basis of the Maximum A Posteriori Probability estimation using the EM algorithm, we estimated all parameters of this integrated model under several original constraints for preventing over-training and maintaining intra-instrument consistency. Using standard MIDI files as prior information of the model parameters, we confirmed that the integrated model increased the SNR by 0.4 窶骭 0.9 dB.

  • An efficient hybrid music recommender system using an incrementally trainable probabilistic generative model

    Kazuyoshi Yoshii, Masataka Goto, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing   16 ( 2 ) 435 - 447  2008年02月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a hybrid music recommender system that ranks musical pieces while efficiently maintaining collaborative and content-based data, i.e., rating scores given by users and acoustic features of audio signals. This hybrid approach overcomes the conventional tradeoff between recommendation accuracy and variety of recommended artists. Collaborative filtering, which is used on e-commerce sites, cannot recommend nonbrated pieces and provides a narrow variety of artists. Content-based filtering does not have satisfactory accuracy because it is based on the heuristics that the user's favorite pieces will have similar musical content despite there being exceptions. To attain a higher recommendation accuracy along with a wider variety of artists, we use a probabilistic generative model that unifies the collaborative and content-based data in a principled way. This model can explain the generative mechanism of the observed data in the probability theory. The probability distribution over users, pieces, and features is decomposed into three conditionally independent ones by introducing latent variables. This decomposition enables us to efficiently and incrementally adapt the model for increasing numbers of users and rating scores. We evaluated our system by using audio signals of commercial CDs and their corresponding rating scores obtained from an e-commerce site. The results revealed that our system accurately recommended pieces including nonrated ones from a wide variety of artists and maintained a high degree of accuracy even when new users and rating scores were added. © 2008 IEEE.

    Communication can be accounted for in game-theoretic terms. The meaning game is proposed to formalize intentional communication in which the sender sends a message and the receiver attempts to infer its intended meaning. Using large Japanese and English corpora, the present paper demonstrates that centering theory is derived from a meaning game. This suggests that there are no language-specific rules on referential coherence. More generally speaking, language use seems to employ Pareto-optimal ESSs (evolutionarily stable strategies) of potentially very complex meaning games. There is still much to do before this complexity is elucidated in scientific terms, but game theory provides statistical and analytic means by which to advance the study on semantics and pragmatics of natural languages and other communication modalities. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

  • 2P1-G03 Segmenting Sound Signals and Articulatory Movement using Recurrent Neural Network toward Phoneme Acquisition

    ロボティクス・メカトロニクス講演会講演概要集   2008 ( 0 ) _2P1 - G03_1-_2P1-G03_4  2008年

     概要を見る

    This paper proposes a computational model for phoneme acquisition by infants. Infants perceive speech not as discrete phoneme sequences but as continuous acoustic signals. One of critical problems in phoneme acquisition is the design for segmenting these continuous speech. The key idea to solve this problem is that articulatory mechanisms such as the vocal tract help human beings to perceive sound units corresponding to phonemes. To segment acoustic signal with articulatory movement, our system was implemented by using a physical vocal tract model, called the Maeda model, and applying a segmenting method using Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB). This method determines segmentation boundaries in a sequence using the prediction error of the RNNPB model, and the PB values obtained by the method can be encoded as kind of phonemes. Experimental results demonstrated that our system could self-organize the same phonemes in different continuous sounds. This suggests that our model reflects the process of phoneme acquisition.

    Affordance is a feature of an object or environment that implies how to interact with it. Based on affordance theory, humans are said to perceive invariant structures for cognizing the object/environment for generating behaviors. In this paper, the authors present a method to extract invariant structures of objects from visual raw images, based on object manipulation experiences using a humanoid robot. The method consists of two training phases. The first phase utilizes Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB) to self-organize dynamical object features extracted during active sensing with objects. The second phase trains a hierarchical neural network attached to RNNPB for associating object images and robot motions with self-organized object features. Analysis of the model has uncovered static objects features that are closely related to dynamic object motions, such as round or stable. © 2008 IEEE.

  • Robot audition from the viewpoint of computational auditory scene analysis

     概要を見る

    We have been engaged in research on computational auditory scene analysis to attain sophisticated robot/computer human interaction by manipulating real-world sound signals. The objective of our research is the understanding of an arbitrary sound mixture including music and environmental sounds as well as voiced speech, obtained by robot's ears (microphones) embedded on the robot. Three main issues in computational auditory scene analysis are sound source localization, separation, and recognition of separated sounds for a mixture of speech signals as well as polyphonic music signals. The Missing Feature Theory (MFT) approach integrates sound source separation and automatic speech recognition by generating missing feature masks. This robot audition system has been successfully ported to three kinds of robots, SIG2, Robovie R2 and Honda ASIMO. A robot recognizes three simultaneous speeches such as placing a meal order ora referee for RockPaper-Scissors Sound Games with a delay of less than 2 seconds. The real-time beat tracking system is also developed for robot audition. A robot hears music, understands and predicts its musical beats to behave in accordance with the beat times in real-time. © 2008 IEEE.

  • Evaluation of two-channel-based sound source localization using 3D moving sound creation tool

    We proposed the way that can repeatedly evaluate the localization methods for moving sounds in the same condition regardless of a kind of methods and a number of microphones. And, we developed two-channel-based sound source localization integrated with a cross-power spectrum phase (CSP) analysis and EM algorithm. This one can localize several moving sounds and reduce localization error. Many sound source localization methods have already been developed. However, they could not be evaluated for moving sound in the same condition because it is hard to build database for moving sounds with accurate track information whenever making experiments. Also, to localize several moving sounds, conventional methods need a lot of microphone and/or prior information such as impulse response data. In this paper, we evaluated our sound localization method using 3D moving sound creation tool and confirmed that our method with two microphones can well localize the voices of a moving talker without impulse response data. © 2008 IEEE.

  • Analysis-and-manipulation approach to pitch and duration of musical instrument sounds without distorting timbral characteristics

    Proceedings - 11th International Conference on Digital Audio Effects, DAFx 2008     249 - 256  2008年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper presents an analysis-manipulation method that can generate musical instrument sounds with arbitrary pitches and durations from the sound of a given musical instrument (called seed) without distorting its timbrai characteristics. Based on psychoacoustical knowledge of the auditory effects of timbres, we defined timbrai features based on the spectrogram of the sound of a musical instrument as (i) the relative amplitudes of the harmonic peaks, (ii) the distribution of the inharmonic component, and (iii) temporal envelopes. First, to analyze the timbrai features of a seed, it was separated into harmonic and inharmonic components using Itoyama's integrated model. For pitch manipulation, we took into account the pitch-dependency of features (i) and (ii). We predicted the values of each feature by using a cubic polynomial that approximated the distribution of these features over pitches. To manipulate duration, we focused on preserving feature (iii) in the attack and decay duration of a seed. Therefore, only steady durations were expanded or shrunk. In addition, we propose a method for reproducing the properties of vibrato. Experimental results demonstrated the quality of the synthesized sounds produced using our method. The spectral and MFCC distances between the synthesized sounds and actual sounds of 32 instruments were reduced by 64.70% and 32.31%, respectively.

    A vocal imitation system was developed using a computational model that supports the motor theory of speech perception. A critical problem in vocal imitation is how to generate speech sounds produced by adults, whose vocal tracts have physical properties (i.e., articulatory motions) differing from those of infants' vocal tracts. To solve this problem, a model based on the motor theory of speech perception, was constructed. Applying this model enables the vocal imitation system to estimate articulatory motions for unexperienced speech sounds that have not actually been generated by the system. The system was implemented by using Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB) and a physical vocal tract model, called Maeda model. Experimental results demonstrated that the system was sufficiently robust with respect to individual differences in speech sounds and could imitate unexperienced vowel sounds. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

    Consistency of object dynamics, which is related to reliable predictability, is an important factor for generating object manipulation motions. This paper proposes a technique to generate autonomous motions based on consistency of object dynamics. The technique resolves two issues: construction of an object dynamics prediction model and evaluation of consistency. The authors utilize Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias to self-organize the dynamics, and link static images to the self-organized dynamics using a hierarchical neural network to deal with the first issue. For evaluation of consistency, the authors have set an evaluation function based on object dynamics relative to robot motor dynamics. Experiments have shown that the method is capable of predicting 90% of unknown object dynamics. Motion generation experiments have proved that the technique is capable of generating autonomous pushing motions that generate consistent rolling motions. ©2008 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    The purpose of this research is to accurately classify the speech signals originating from the front even in noisy home environments. This ability can help robots to improve speech recognition and to spot keywords. We therefore developed a new voice activity detection (VAD) based on the complex spectrum circle centroid (CSCC) method. It can classify the speech signals that are received at the front of two microphones by comparing the spectral energy of observed signals with that of target signals estimated by CSCC. Also, it can work in real time without training filter coefficients beforehand even in noisy environments (SNR > 0 dB) and can cope with speech noises generated by audio-visual equipments such as televisions and audio devices. Since the CSCC method requires the directions of the noise signals, we also developed a sound source localization system integrated with cross-power spectrum phase (CSP) analysis and an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. This system was demonstrated to enable a robot to cope with multiple sound sources using two microphones. ©2008 IEEE.

    Proceedings - European Conference on Noise Control     483 - 488  2008年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Since a robot is deployed in various kinds of environments, the robot audition system should work with minimum prior information on environments to localize, separate and recognize utterances by multiple simultaneous talkers. For example, it should not assume either the number of speakers, the location of speakers for sound source separation (SSS), or specially tuned acoustic model for automatic speech recognition (ASR). We developed \HARK" portable robot audition that uses eight microphones installed on the surface of robot's body such as Honda ASIMO, and SIG-2 and Robovie-R2 at Kyoto University. HARK integrates SSS and ASR by using the Missing-Feature Theory. For SSS, we use Geometric Source Separation and multi-channel post-filter to separate each utterance. Since separated speech signals are distorted due to interfering talkers and sound source separation, multi-channel post-filter enhanced speech signals. At this process, we create a missing feature mask that specifies which acoustic features are reliable in time-frequency domain. Multi-band Julius, a missing-feature-theory based ASR, uses this mask to avoid the inuence of unreliable features in recognizing such distorted speech signals. The system demonstrated a waitress robot that accepts meal orders placed by three actual human talkers.

  • Integrating topic estimation and dialogue history for domain selection in multi-domain spoken dialogue systems

    Lecture Notes in Computer Science (including subseries Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence and Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics)   5027 LNAI   294 - 304  2008年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    We present a method of robust domain selection against out-of-grammar (OOG) utterances in multi-domain spoken dialogue systems. These utterances cause language-understanding errors because of a limited set of grammar and vocabulary of the systems, and deteriorate the domain selection. This is critical for multi-domain spoken dialogue systems to determine a system's response. We first define a topic as a domain from which the user wants to retrieve information, and estimate it as the user's intention. This topic estimation is enabled by using a large amount of sentences collected from the Web and Latent Semantic Mapping (LSM). The results are reliable even for OOG utterances. We then integrated both the topic estimation results and the dialogue history to construct a robust domain classifier against OOG utterances. The idea of integration is based on the fact that the reliability of the dialogue history is often impeded by language-understanding errors caused by OOG utterances, from which using topic estimation obtains useful information. Experimental results using 2191 utterances showed that our integrated method reduced domain selection errors by 14.3%. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

     概要を見る

    Our goal is to create a user-adaptive communication-robot. We are developing a system for evaluating human-robot interactions. Although such evaluation is indispensable for learning algorithms, users' preferences are too difficult to model because they are subjective. In this study, we used the interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) to configure the value system of a learning communicationrobot. The IEC is a genetic algorithm whose fitness function is performed by the user. In our experiment, we encoded the values of sensors (reward or punishment) into genes, and subjects interacted with the learning robot. Through the interaction, the subjects evaluated the robot by touching its sensors, and the robot learned appropriate combinations between input and output. Afterward, the subjects gave their scores to the experimenter, and the scores were regarded as the fitness values of the corresponding genes. These sequences were continued until the 4 generation, and then the subjects compared three of their best genes and two of the experimenter's. We found that the user-adaptive value system is suitable for the communication-robot. Copyright © 2007 International Federation of Automatic Control All Rights Reserved.

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a music remixing interface, called Instrument Equalizer, that allows users to control the volume of each instrument part within existing audio recordings in real time. Although query-by-example retrieval systems need a user to prepare favorite examples (songs) in general, our interface gives a user to generate examples from existing ones by cutting or boosting some instrument/vocal parts, resulting in a variety of retrieved results. To change the volume, all instrument parts are separated from the input sound mixture using the corresponding standard MIDI file. For the separation, we used an integrated tone (timbre) model consisting of harmonic and inharmonic models that are initialized with template sounds recorded from a MIDI sound generator. The remaining but critical problem here is to deal with various performance styles and instrument bodies that are not given in the template sounds. To solve this problem, we train probabilistic distributions of timbre features by using various sounds. By adding a new constraint of maximizing the likelihood of timbre features extracted from each tone model, we succeeded in estimating model parameters that better express actual timbre.

    This paper presents a method that identifies musical chords in polyphonic musical signals. As musical chords mainly represent the harmony of music and are related to other musical elements such as melody and rhythm, the performance of chord recognition should improve if this interrelationship is taken into consideration. Nevertheless, this interrelationship has not been utilized in the literature as far as the authors are aware. In this paper, bass lines are utilized as clues for improving chord recognition because they can be regarded as an element of the melody. A probabilistic framework is devised to uniformly integrate bass lines extracted by using bass pitch estimation into a hypothesis-search-based chord recognition. To prune the hypothesis space of the search, the hypothesis reliability is defined as the weighted sum of three reliabilities: the likelihood of Gaussian Mixture Models for the observed features, the joint probability of chord and bass pitch, and the chord transition N-gram probability. Experimental results show that our method recognized the chord sequences of 150 songs in twelve Beatles albums; the average frame-rate accuracy of the results was 73.4%.

  • Segmenting acoustic signal with articulatory movement using recurrent neural network for phoneme acquisition

     概要を見る

    This paper proposes a computational model for phoneme acquisition by infants. Human infants perceive speech sounds not as discrete phoneme sequences but as continuous acoustic signals. One of critical problems in phoneme acquisition is the design for segmenting these continuous speech sounds. The key idea to solve this problem is that articulatory mechanisms such as the vocal tract help human beings to perceive speech sound units corresponding to phonemes. That is, the ability to distinguish phonemes is learned by recognizing unstable points in the dynamics of continuous sound with articulatory movement. We have developed a vocal imitation system embodying the relationship between articulatory movements and sounds produced by the movements. To segment acoustic signal with articulatory movement, we apply the segmenting method to our system by Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB). This method determines the multiple segmentation boundaries in a temporal sequence using the prediction error of the RNNPB model, and the PB values obtained by the method can be encoded as kind of phonemes. Our system was implemented by using a physical vocal tract model, called the Maeda model. Experimental results demonstrated that our system can self-organize the same phonemes in different continuous sounds. This suggests that our model reflects the process of phoneme acquisition. ©2008 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    In normal human communication, people face the speaker when listening and usually pay attention to the speaker' face. Therefore, in robot audition, the recognition of the front talker is critical for smooth interactions. This paper presents an enhanced speech detection method for a humanoid robot that can separate and recognize speech signals originating from the front even in noisy home environments. The robot audition system consists of a new type of voice activity detection (VAD) based on the complex spectrum circle centroid (CSCC) method and a maximum signal-to-noise (Max-SNR) beamformer. This VAD based on CSCC can classify speech signals that are retrieved at the frontal region of two microphones embedded on the robot. The system works in real-time without needing training filter coefficients given in advance even in a noisy environment (SNR > 0 dB). It can cope with speech noise generated from televisions and audio devices that does not originate from the center. Experiments using a humanoid robot, SIG2, with two microphones showed that our system enhanced extracted target speech signals more than 12 dB (SNR) and the success rate of automatic speech recognition for Japanese words was increased about 17 points. ©2008 IEEE.

  • Design and evaluation of two-channel-based sound source localization over entire azimuth range for moving talkers

     概要を見る

    We propose a way to evaluate various sound localization systems for moving sounds under the same conditions. To construct a database for moving sounds, we developed a moving sound creation tool using the API library developed by the ARINIS Company. We developed a two-channel-based sound source localization system integrated with a cross-power spectrum phase (CSP) analysis and EM algorithm. The CSP of sound signals obtained with only two microphones is used to localize the sound source without having to use prior information such as impulse response data. The EM algorithm helps the system cope with several moving sound sources and reduce localization error. We evaluated our sound localization method using artificial moving sounds and confirmed that it can well localize moving sounds slower than 1.125 rad/sec. Finally, we solve the problem of distinguishing whether sounds are coming from the front or back by rotating a robot's head equipped with only two microphones. Our system was applied to a humanoid robot called SIG2, and we confirmed its ability to localize sounds over the entire azimuth range. ©2008 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a beat-counting robot that can count musical beats aloud, i.e., speak "one, two, three, four, one, two, ..." along music, while listening to music by using its own ears. Music-understanding robots that interact with humans should be able not only to recognize music internally, but also to express their own internal states. To develop our beat-counting robot, we have tackled three issues: (1) recognition of hierarchical beat structures, (2) expression of these structures by counting beats, and (3) suppression of counting voice (self-generated sound) in sound mixtures recorded by ears. The main issue is (3) because the interference of counting voice in music causes the decrease of the beat recognition accuracy. So we designed the architecture for music-understanding robot that is capable of dealing with the issue of self-generated sounds. To solve these issues, we took the following approaches: (1) beat structure prediction based on musical knowledge on chords and drums, (2) speed control of counting voice according to music tempo via a vocoder called STRAIGHT, and (3) semi-blind separation of sound mixtures into music and counting voice via an adaptive filter based on ICA (Independent Component Analysis) that uses the waveform of the counting voice as a prior knowledge. Experimental result showed that suppressing robot's own voice improved music recognition capability. ©2008 IEEE.

  • Barge-in-able robot audition based on ICA and missing feature theory under semi-blind situation

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a robot audition system that allows the user to barge-in; that is, the user can speak simultaneously when the robot is speaking. Our "barge-in-able" system consists of two stages: (1) cancellation of robot speech and (2) recognition of the separated user speech under the "semi-blind situation". The semi-blind situation is where a robot's speech signal is known but a user's speech signal is not. The first stage is achieved by using an adaptive filter based on time-frequency domain Independent Component Analysis, because that can separate robot speech more robustly against noise than conventional echo cancellers. To improve performance in online processing, we utilized known source normalization and the exponentially weighted stepsize method. The second stage is achieved by automatic speech recognition (ASR) based on the missing feature theory which provides robust recognition by exploiting the reliability of speech features distorted due to noise and/or separation. The semi-blind situation simplifies the estimation of such reliabilities. Experiments demonstrated that our system improved word correctness of ASR by 10.0 %. ©2008 IEEE.

    This paper presents a method to autonomously extract object features that describe their dynamics from active sensing experiences. The model is composed of a dynamics learning module and a feature extraction module. Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB) is utilized for the dynamics learning module, learning and self-organizing the sequences of robot and object motions. A hierarchical neural network is linked to the input of RNNPB as the feature extraction module for extracting object features that describe the object motions. The two modules are simultaneously trained using image and motion sequences acquired from the robot's active sensing with objects. Experiments are performed with the robot's pushing motion with a variety of objects to generate sliding, falling over, bouncing, and rolling motions. The results have shown that the model is capable of extracting features that distinguish the characteristics of object dynamics. ©2008 IEEE.

  • Extensibility verification of robust domain selection against out-of-grammar utterances in multi-domain spoken dialogue system

     概要を見る

    We developed a robust domain selection method and verified its extensibility. An issue in domain selection is its robustness against out-of-grammar utterances. It is essential to generate correct system responses because such utterances often cause domain selection errors. We therefore integrated the topic estimation results and the dialogue history to construct a robust domain classifier. Another issue is that domain selection should be performed within an extensible framework, because the system is often modified and extended. That is, the classifier should still have high performance without reconstructing it after adding new domains. The extensibility of our method was not experimentally verified yet, because it requires a lot of effort to collect new dialogue data after extending the system. Therefore, we verified extensibility without collecting new data. We constructed the classifier by leaving out some domains in the dialogue data and then evaluated its accuracy as the classifier for the data where the left-out domains were virtually added.

    Since public involvement in the decision-making process for community development needs a lot of efforts and time, support tools for speeding up the consensus building process among stakeholders are required. This paper presents a new method for finding, tracking and visualizing participants' concerns (topics) from the record of a public debate. For finding topics, we use the salience of a term, which is computed as its reference probability based on referential coherence in the Centering Theory. Our system first annotates a debate record or minute into Global Document Annotation (GDA) format automatically, and then computes the salience of each term from the GDA-annotated text sentence by sentence. Then, by using the Probalilistic Latent Semantic Analytsis (PLSA), our system reduces the dimensions of the vector of salience values of terms into a set of major latent topics. For tracking topics, we use the salience dynamics, which is computed as the temporal change of joint attention to the major latent topics with additional user-supplied terms. The resulting graph is called SalienceGraph. For visualizing SalienceGraph, we use 3D visualizer with GUI designed by "overview first, zoom and filter, then details on demand" principle. SalienceGraph provides more accurate trajectory of topics than conventional TF•IDF. © 2008 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.

    If machine audition can recognize an auditory scene containing simultaneous and moving talkers, what kinds of awareness will people gain from an auditory scene visualizer? This paper presents the design and implementation of 3D Auditory Scene Visualizer based on the visual information seeking mantra, i.e., "overview first, zoom and filter, then details on demand". The machine audition system called HARK captures 3D sounds with a microphone array, localizes and separates sounds, and recognizes separated sounds by automatic speech recognition (ASR). The 3D visualizer implemented in Java 3D displays each sound stream as a beam originating from the center of the microphones (overview mode), shows temporal snapshots with/without specifying focusing areas (zoom and filter mode), and shows detailed information about a particular sound stream (details on demand). In the details-ondemand mode, ASR results are displayed in a "karaoke" manner, i.e., character-by-character. This three-mode visualization will give the user auditory awareness enhanced by HARK. In addition, a face-tracking system automatically changes the focus of attention by tracking the user's face. The resulting system is portable and can be deployed in any place, so it is expected to give more vivid awareness than expensive high-fidelity auditory scene reproduction systems. © 2008 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    This paper addresses automatic soft missing-feature mask (MFM) generation based on a leak energy estimation for a simultaneous speech recognition system. An MFM is used as a weight for probability calculation in a recognition process. In a previous work, a threshold-base-zero-or-one function was applied to decide if spectral parameter can be reliable or not for each frequency bin. The function is extended into a weighted sigmoid function which has two free parameters. In addition, a contribution ratio of static features is introduced for the probability calculation in a recognition process which static and dynamic features are input. The ratio can be implemented as a part of soft mask. The average recognition rate based on a soft MFM improved by about 5% for all directions from a conventional system based on a hard MFM. Word recognition rates improved from 70 to 80% for peripheral talkers and from 93 to 97% for front speech when speakers were 90 degrees apart. Copyright © 2008 ISCA.

    Robot imitation is a useful and promising alternative to robot programming. Robot imitation involves two crucial issues. The first is how a robot can imitate a human whose physical structure and properties differ greatly from its own. The second is how the robot can generate various motions from finite programmable patterns (generalization). This paper describes a novel approach to robot imitation based on its own physical experiences. We considered the target task of moving an object on a table. For imitation, we focused on an active sensing process in which the robot acquires the relation between the object's motion and its own arm motion. For generalization, we applied the RNNPB (recurrent neural network with parametric bias) model to enable recognition/generation of imitation motions. The robot associates the arm motion which reproduces the observed object's motion presented by a human operator. Experimental results proved the generalization capability of our method, which enables the robot to imitate not only motion it has experienced, but also unknown motion through nonlinear combination of the experienced motions. © 2007 VSP.

We then integrated both topic estimation results and dialogue history to construct a robust domain classifier against OOG utterances. The experimental results using 2191 utterances showed that our integrated method reduced domain selection errors by 14.3%.

    Reinforcement learning is the scheme for unsupervised learning in which robots are expected to acquire behavior skills through self-explorations based on reward signals. There are some difficulties, however, in applying conventional reinforcement learning algorithms to motion control tasks of a robot because most algorithms are concerned with discrete state space and based on the assumption of complete observability of the state. Real-world environments often have partial observablility; therefore, robots have to estimate the unobservable hidden states. This paper proposes a method to solve these two problems by combining the reinforcement learning algorithm and a learning algorithm for a continuous time recurrent neural network (CTRNN). The CTRNN can learn spatio-temporal structures in a continuous time and space domain, and can preserve the contextual flow by a self-organizing appropriate internal memory structure. This enables the robot to deal with the hidden state problem. We carried out an experiment on the pendulum swing-up task without rotational speed information. As a result, this task is accomplished in several hundred trials using the proposed algorithm. In addition, it is shown that the information about the rotational speed of the pendulum, which is considered as a hidden state, is estimated and encoded on the activation of a context neuron. © 2007 VSP.

    In the recent years, neural networks or other learing networks are frequently used in the field of robotics. However, the needed conditions of the learning system are not fulfilled enough in autonomous robot, because the variety of the needed conditions let it difficult to accomplish. So, integration of the functions is inevitable to create an effective learning system in autonomous robot. In traditional methods, it was difficult to accomplish "autonomous exploration of the effective output", "simple external parameters", and "low calculation cost" together in a learning system. Thus, we proposed a new learning method self-organizing network elements (SONE) against this problem. All of these conditions are fulfilled by SONE, however there is a need to enhance the ability against noises. Therefore, we propose a technique to restrain noises in SONE. In our experiments, more resistance against noises was confirmed with this technique. Also in a robot simulation, the performance of the robot was improved by this novel method.

    本稿では,ハイブリッド型楽曲推薦システムの効率性とスケーラビリティを改善する手法について述べる.我々は以前,確率的推薦モデルを用いて「ユーザの楽曲評価」と「楽曲の音響的特徴」とを同時に考慮するハイブリッド型推薦システムを開発し,高精度な推薦ができることを実証したが,効率性とスケーラビリティに関する問題が残されていた.すなわち,新規評価や新規ユーザ,新規楽曲が追加されるたびにモデル全体を再学習する必要があった.また,モデル学習にかかる計算コストがユーザ数と楽曲数に比例して増加するため,現実的なサイズのデータを扱うことができなかった.そこで本稿では,効率性を改善するため,モデルをわずかなコストで部分的に更新できるインクリメンタル学習法を提案する.さらに,スケーラビリティを改善するため,まず少数の代表的な仮想ユーザと仮想楽曲に対して「コアモデル」を構築し,次にインクリメンタル学習法によって実際のユーザと楽曲をコアモデルに追加登録していく手法を提案する.実験の結果,上記二つの改良を施した推薦システムでは,推薦精度が向上することが分かった.We aimed at improving the efficiency and scalability of a hybrid music recommender system. Although this system was proved to make accurate recommendations by using a probabilistic model that integrates rating scores provided by users acoustic features of musical pieces, it lacks efficiency and scalability. That is, the entire model needs to be re-trained from scratch whenever a new score, user, or piece is added. Furthermore, the system cannot deal with practical numbers of users and pieces. To improve efficiency, we propose an incremental method that partially updates the model at low computational cost. To enhance scalability, we propose a method that first constructs a small &quot;core&quot; model over fewer virtual representatives created from real users and pieces, and then adds the real users and pieces to the core model by using the incremental method. The experimental results revealed that the proposed system was not only efficient and scalable but also outperformed the original system in terms of accuracy.

    本稿では,調波・非調波統合モデルのモデルパラメータ推定における楽器の奏法と個体差に対する問題点を改善する手法について述べる.我々は,CDなどの複雑な多重奏音楽音響信号中の調波構造を持つ楽器音と持たない楽器音を同時に分離するために調波・非調波統合モデルおよびそのモデルパラメータの推定手法を設計し,調波構造モデルや非調波構造モデルをそれぞれ単独で用いるよりも統合モデルを用いることで分離性能が向上することを実験で示した.本システムで実楽曲を扱うためには,楽器の多様な奏法や個体差に対処する必要がある.そのための問題点は, MIDIは奏法を扱うことがほとんど不可能な点,単一のテンプレート音を用いると個体差に対処できない点である.そこで本稿ではこれらの問題点を解決するため,楽器音認識で用いられる音色特徴量の確率分布を用いてモデルパラメータを推定する手法を提案する.音色特徴量の確率分布は多数のデータを用いて学習されるため,特定のテンプレート音の影響を除去したパラメータ推定が可能になる.モデルから抽出した音色特徴量の確率分布に対する尤度を最大化するような制約を追加することで,モデルが表現する楽器音の特徴を多く満たすようなモデルパラメータが推定される.実験によって,音色特徴量分布の尤度を考慮することで分離`性能が向上することを確認した.This paper describes an improved parameter estimation method for an integrated weighted-mixture model con sisting of both harmonic-structure and inharmonic tone models. Although we have developed a sound source separation method by using the integrated model, this method has difficulties to deal with various performance styles and individual differences of musical instruments. To solve this problem, we propose a new parameter esti mation method by using probabilistic distributions of musical timbre features. Since the probabilistic distributions are trained by using various audio signals, dependency from particular template sounds decreases. By adding a new constraint of maximizing the likelihood of the probabilistic distributions of timbre features extracted from an estimated model, the model parameters can be estimated so that they can well express musical timbre features. The experimental results showed that the performance of separation improved.

    In order to conduct the long time exploration-based learning experiments with a physical robot, there was necessity to build a durable robot. Therefore, we built a novel robot with a tendon-based actuation mechanism which can afford elasticity at each joint of the robot. Each of the arm joints is actuated by an antagonistic pair of two motor-spring assemblies. By controlling the tension in the spring with a classic PID controller, the joints are being torque-controlled. Because of inherent nonlinear characteristics of the developed system, standard PID control schemas cannot be applied to the system. Therefore, we employ the RNN to construct the inverse model which plays the role of controller. In this paper, we report the result of preliminary experiment using this controller.

    本稿では、アクセント構造およびムードの一致に基づいて、音楽と映像の調和の度合い(調和度)を計算する枠組を提案する。一般に、音楽と映像の調和要因としては、時間的なアクセントの一致による時間的調和と、ムードの一致による意味的調和の2つが存在する。従来の研究では、それぞれの要因のみしか扱っておらず、両要因を統一的に扱った事例は存在しない。そこで本稿では、音楽と映像の調和度を、アクセント構造の一致に基づいて定量化した調和度とムードの一致に基づいて定量化した調和度の重み付き線形和で表現する。アクセント構造の一致は音楽と映像それぞれの特徴量系列間の相関に基づいて、ムードの一致はそれぞれの特徴部分空間内における相互の特徴量の連想に基づいて定量化する。実映像作品を対象とし、本手法の有効性を実験により評価した。In this paper, we propose a framework that understands congruency between music and video based on similarity of accent structure and mood. There are two types of congruency between music and video: temporal congruency related to synchronization of accents and semantic congruency related to similarity of mood. Previous works, however, have dealt only with either congruency. We model the temporal congruency based on the correlation between accent feature sequences extracted from audio and visual content, and the semantic congruency based on mutual mapping between two feature spaces representing music and video respectively. Then, we integrate the two types of congruency as a weighted linear sum. Our experiments with real-world content show the effects of our method.

    音声対話システムにおいて、音声認識誤りによる誤作動は避けられない。特に、初心者や慣れていないユーザの発話には、システムが想定していない文法や語彙が多く含まれ、音声認識誤りを引き起こす。これへの対処として我々は、ユーザの状態推定に基づく動的なヘルプ生成を目指してきた 1)。しかしシステム想定外発話に対する認識誤りの誤受理は、ユーザの状態推定に多大な悪影響を及ぼす。さらに音声認識結果が信用できない発話からも、ユーザの状態を推定できる必要がある。この問題に対して、我々は発話検証技術 2) の導入により解決を図る。この際に、検証用モデルとして、他タスクでの統計的言語モデルが使用可能かどうかを実験的に確認した。さらに検証用モデルとの尤度差が、発話の棄却判定だけでなく、語彙外発話と文法外発話との判別にも使用可能であることを示す。これにより、内容語が認識できていない場合でもユーザの状態を更新でき、ユーザへのヘルプ生成の精度向上が見込める。In spoken dialogue systems, false acceptances (FA) caused by automatic speech recognition (ASR) errors are inevitable. Especially, when a novice user uses the systems, he/she often makes out-of-grammar or out-of-vocabulary utterances, which cause ASR errors. We have developed a method for generating dynamic helps by estimating the user's mental model 1). However, these FAs badly affect the estimation of the model. It should be also possible that the model can be estimated even when ASR results are not reliable. To solve this problem, we incorporate a method of utterance verification. We confirmed that several statistical language models generally used are available as verification models. Furthermore, the differences of scores between two recognizers are helpful not only for rejecting ASR errors but also for distinguishing between out-of-grammar and out-of-vocabulary utterances. This result shows that user's mental model can be updated even when content words are not correctly recognized, and accordingly accuracy of the generated helps will be improved.

    This paper presents a new technique for recognizing musical instruments in polyphonic music. Since conventional musical instrument recognition in polyphonic music is performed notewise, i.e., for each note, accurate estimation of the onset time and fundamental frequency (F0) of each note is required. However, these estimations are generally not easy in polyphonic music, and thus estimation errors severely deteriorated the recognition performance. Without these estimations, our technique calculates the temporal trajectory of instrument existence probabilities for every possible F0. The instrument existence probability is defined as the product of a nonspecific instrument existence probabilitycalculated using the PreFEst and a conditional instrument existence probability calculated using hidden Markov models. The instrument existence probability is visualized as a spectrogram-like graphical representation called the instrogram and is applied to MPEG-7 annotation and instrumentation-similarity-based music information retrieval. Experimental results from both synthesized music and real performance recordings have shown that instrograms achieved MPEG-7 annotation (instrument identification) with a precision rate of 87.5% for synthesized music and 69.4% for real performances on average and that the instrumentation similarity measure reflected the actual instrumentation better than an MFCC-based measure.

    This paper presents a highly functional audio player, called Drumix, that allows a listener to control the volume, timbre, and rhythmic patterns (drum patterns)of bass and snare drums within existing audio recordings in real time. A demand for active music listening has recently emerged. If the drum parts of popular songs could be manipulated, listeners could have new musical experiences by freely changing their impressions of the pieces (e.g., making the drum performance more energetic)instead of passively listening to them. To achieve this, Drumix provides three functions for rearranging drum parts, i.e., a volume control function that enables users to cut or boost the volume of each drum with a drum-specific volume slider, a timbre change function that allows them to replace the original timbre of each drum with another selected from a drop-down list, and a drum-pattern editing function that enables them to edit repetitive patterns of drum onsets on a graphical representation of their scores. Special musical skills are not required to use these functions. Subjective experiments revealed that Drumix could add a new dimension to the way listeners experience music.

    We have been engaged in research on computational auditory scene analysis to attain sophisticated robot/computer human interaction by manipulating real-world sound signals. The objective of our research is the understanding of an arbitrary sound mixture including non-speech sounds and music as well as voiced speech, obtained by robot's ears, that is, microphones embedded in the robot. We have coped with three main issues in computational auditory scene analysis, that is, sound source localization, separation, and recognition of separated sounds for a mixture of speech signals as well as polyphonic music signals. This paper overviews our results in robot audition, in particular, Missing Feature Theory based integration of sound source separation and automatic speech recognition, and those in music information processing, in particular, drum sound equalizer. © 2007 IEEE.

  • Instrument identification in polyphonic music: Feature weighting to minimize influence of sound overlaps

     概要を見る

    We provide a new solution to the problem of feature variations caused by the overlapping of sounds in instrument identification in polyphonic music. When multiple instruments simultaneously play, partials (harmonic components) of their sounds overlap and interfere, which makes the acoustic features different from those of monophonic sounds. To cope with this, we weight features based on how much they are affected by overlapping. First, we quantitatively evaluate the influence of overlapping on each feature as the ratio of the within-class variance to the between-class variance in the distribution of training data obtained from polyphonic sounds. Then, we generate feature axes using a weighted mixture that minimizes the influence via linear discriminant analysis. In addition, we improve instrument identification using musical context. Experimental results showed that the recognition rates using both feature weighting and musical context were 84.1 % for duo, 77.6 % for trio, and 72.3 % for quartet; those without using either were 53.4, 49.6, and 46.5 % , respectively.

    This paper describes a sound source separation method for polyphonic sound mixtures o music to build an instrument equalizer for remixing multiple tracks separated from compact-disc recordings by changing the volume level of each track. Although such, mixtures usually include both harmonic and inharmonic sounds, the difficulties in dealing with both types of sounds together have not been addressed in most previous methods that have focused on either of the two types separately. We therefore developed an integrated weighted-mixture model consisting of both harmonic-structure and inharmonic-structure tone models (generative models for the power spectrogram). On the basis of the MAP estimation using the EM algorithm, we estimated all model parameters of this, integrated model under several original constraints for preventing over-training and maintaining intra-instrument consistency. Using standard MIDI files as prior information of the model parameters, We applied this model to compact-disc recordings and achieved the instrument equalizer. © 2007 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    We have proposed self-organizing network elements (SONE) as a learning method for robots to meet the requirements of autonomous exploration of effective output, simple external parameters, and low calculation costs. SONE can be used as an algorithm for obtaining network topology by propagating reinforcement signals between the elements of a network. Traditionally, the analysis of fundamental features in SONE and their application to supervised learning tasks were difficult because the learning method of SONE was limited to reinforcement learning. Here the abilities of generalization, incremental learning, and temporal sequence learning were evaluated using a supervised learning method with SONE. Moreover, the proposed method enabled our SONE to be applied to a greater variety of tasks. © 2007 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Occlusion is a problem for range finders; ranging systems using cameras or lasers cannot be used to estimate distance to an object (hidden object) that is occluded by another (obstacle). We developed a method to estimate the distance to the hidden object by applying acoustic diffraction of audible sound. Our method is based on time-of-flight (TOF), which has been used in ultrasound ranging systems. We determined the best frequency of audible sound and designed its optimal modulated signal for our system. We determined that the system estimates the distance to the hidden object as well as the obstacle. However, the measurement signal obtained from the hidden object was weak. Thus, interference from sound signals reflected from other objects or walls was not negligible. Therefore, we combined acoustical holography (AH) and TOF, which enabled a partial analysis of the reflection sound intensity field around the obstacle and hidden object. Our method was effective for ranging two objects of the same size within a 1.2 m depth range. The accuracy of our method was 3 cm for the obstacle, and 6 cm for the hidden object. ©2007 IEEE.

  • Human-robot cooperation using quasi-symbols generated by RNNPB model

     概要を見る

    We describe a means of human robot interaction based not on natural language but on "quasi symbols," which represent sensory-motor dynamics in the task and/or environment. It thus overcomes a key problem of using natural language for human-robot interaction - the need to understand the dynamic context The quasi-symbols used are motion primitives corresponding to the attractor dynamics of the sensory-motor flow. These primitives are extracted from the observed data using the recurrent neural network with parametric bias (RNNPB) model. Binary representations based on the model parameters were implemented as quasi symbols in a humanoid robot, Robovie. The experiment task was robot-arm operation on a table. The quasi-symbols acquired by learning enabled the robot to perform novel motions. A person was able to control the arm through speech interaction using these quasi-symbols. These quasi symbols formed a hierarchical structure corresponding to the number of nodes in the model. The meaning of some of the quasi-symbols depended on the context, indicating that they are useful for human-robot interaction. © 2007 IEEE.

  • Predicting object dynamics from visual images through active sensing experiences

     概要を見る

    Prediction of dynamic features is an important task for determining the manipulation strategies of an object. This paper presents a technique for predicting dynamics of objects relative to the robot's motion from visual images. During the learning phase, the authors use Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB) to self-organize the dynamics of objects manipulated by the robot into the PB space. The acquired PB values, static images of objects, and robot motor values are input into a hierarchical neural network to link the static images to dynamic features (PB values). The neural network extracts prominent features that induce each object dynamics. For prediction of the motion sequence of an unknown object, the static image of the object and robot motor value are input into the neural network to calculate the PB values. By inputting the PB values into the closed loop RNNPB, the predicted movements of the object relative to the robot motion are calculated sequentially. Experiments were conducted with the humanoid robot Robovie-IIs pushing objects at different heights. Reducted grayscale images and shoulder pitch angles were input into the neural network to predict the dynamics of target objects. The results of the experiment proved that the technique is efficient for predicting the dynamics of the objects. © 2007 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    An adaptation of independent component analysis (ICA) and missing feature theory (MFT)-based ASR for two simultaneous continuous speech recognition is described. We have reported on the utility of a system with isolated word recognition, but the performance of the MFT-based ASR is affected by the configuration, such as an acoustic model. The system needs to be evaluated under a more general condition. It first separates the sound sources using ICA. Then, spectral distortion in the separated sounds is estimated to generate missing feature masks (MFMs). Finally, the separated sounds are recognized by MFT-based ASR. We estimate spectral distortion in the temporal-frequency domain in terms of feature vectors, and we generate MFMs. We tested an isolated word and the continuous speech recognition with a cepstral and spectral feature. The resulting system outperformed the baseline robot audition system by 13 and 6 points respectively on the spectral features. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.

     概要を見る

    This paper presents techniques that enable a talker tracking for effective human-robot interaction. We propose new way of integrating an EM algorithm and a particle filter to select an appropriate path for tracking the talker. It can easily adapt to new kinds of information for tracking the talker with our system. This is because our system estimates the position of the desired talker through means, variances, and weights calculated from EM training regardless of the numbers or kinds of information. In addition, to enhance a robot's ability to track a talker in real-world environments, we applied the particle filter to talker tracking after executing the EM algorithm. We also integrated a variety of auditory and visual information regarding sound localization, face localization, and the detection of lip movement. Moreover, we applied a sound classification function that allows our system to distinguish between voice, music, or noise. We also developed a vision module that can locate moving objects. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.

  • Auditory and visual integration based localization and tracking of multiple moving sounds in daily-life environments

    Hyun Don Kim, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

     概要を見る

    This paper presents techniques that enable talker tracking for effective human-robot interaction. To track moving people in daily-life environments, localizing multiple moving sounds is necessary so that robots can locate talkers. However, the conventional method requires an array of microphones and impulse response data. Therefore, we propose a way to integrate a cross-power spectrum phase analysis (CSP) method and an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. The CSP can localize sound sources using only two microphones and does not need impulse response data. Moreover, the EM algorithm increases the system's effectiveness and allows it to cope with multiple sound sources. We confirmed that the proposed method performs better than the conventional method. In addition, we added a particle filter to the tracking process to produce a reliable tracking path and the particle filter is able to integrate audio-visual information effectively. Furthermore, the applied particle filter is able to track people while dealing with various noises that are even loud sounds in the daily-life environments. ©2007 IEEE.

    A method is presented that helps novice users understand the language expressions that a system can accept, even from unacceptable utterances made that may contain automatic speech recognition errors. We have developed a method that dynamically generates help messages, which can avoid further unacceptable utterances from being made, by estimating a users' knowledge from their utterances. To improve the accuracy of the estimation, we developed a method to estimate a user's knowledge from utterance verification results. This method estimates whether a user knows an utterance pattern that the system considers acceptable, and suppresses useless help messages from being generated. © 2007 Association for Computational Linguistics.

  • Exploiting known sound source signals to improve ICA-based robot audition in speech separation and recognition

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a new semi-blind source separation (semi-BSS) technique with independent component analysis (ICA) for enhancing a target source of interest and for suppressing other known interference sources. The semi-BSS technique is necessary for double-talk free robot audition systems in order to utilize known sound source signals such as self speech, music, or TV-sound, through a line-in or ubiquitous network. Unlike the conventional semi-BSS with ICA, we use the time-frequency domain convolution model to describe the reflection of the sound and a new mixing process of sounds for ICA. In other words, we consider that reflected sounds during some delay time are different from the original. ICA then separates the reflections as other interference sources. The model enables us to eliminate the frame size limitations of the frequency-domain ICA, and ICA can separate the known sources under a highly reverberative environment. Experimental results show that our method outperformed the conventional semi-BSS using ICA under simulated normal and highly reverberative environments. ©2007 IEEE.

    We present a connectionist model that combines motions and language based on the behavioral experiences of a real robot. Two models of recurrent neural network with parametric bias (RNNPB) were trained using motion sequences and linguistic sequences. These sequences were combined using their respective parameters so that the robot could handle many-to-many relationships between motion sequences and linguistic sequences. Motion sequences were articulated into some primitives corresponding to given linguistic sequences using the prediction error of the RNNPB model. The experimental task in which a humanoid robot moved its arm on a table demonstrated that the robot could generate a motion sequence corresponding to given linguistic sequence even if the motions or sequences were not included in the training data, and vice versa. ©2007 IEEE.

  • Vocal imitation using physical vocal tract model

     概要を見る

    A vocal imitation system was developed using a computational model that supports the motor theory of speech perception. A critical problem in vocal imitation is how to generate speech sounds produced by adults, whose vocal tracts have physical properties (i.e., articulatory motions) differing from those of infants' vocal tracts. To solve this problem, a model based on the motor theory of speech perception, was constructed. This model suggests that infants simulate the speech generation by estimating their own articulatory motions in order to interpret the speech sounds of adults. Applying this model enables the vocal imitation system to estimate articulatory motions for unexperienced speech sounds that have not actually been generated by the system. The system was implemented by using Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB) and a physical vocal tract model, called the Maeda model. Experimental results demonstrated that the system was sufficiently robust with respect to individual differences in speech sounds and could imitate unexperienced vowel sounds. ©2007 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    We aim at enabling a biped robot to interact with humans through real-world music in daily-life environments, e.g., to autonomously keep its steps (stamps) in time with musical beats. To achieve this, the robot should be able to robustly predict the beat times in real time while listening to musical performance with its own ears (head-embedded microphones). However, this has not previously been addressed in most studies on music-synchronized robots due to the difficulty in predicting the beat times in real-world music. To solve this problem, we implemented a beat-tracking method developed in the field of music information processing. The predicted beat times are then used by a feedback-control method that adjusts the robot's step intervals to synchronize its steps in time with the beats. The experimental results show that the robot can adjust its steps in time with the beat times as the tempo changes. The resulting robot needed about 25 [s] to recognize the tempo change after it and then synchronize its steps. ©2007 IEEE.

  • Discovery of other individuals by projecting a self-model through imitation

     概要を見る

    This paper proposes a novel model which enables a humanoid robot infant to discover other individual (e.g. human parent). In this work, the authors define "other individual" as an actor which can be predicted by a self-model. For modeling the developmental process of discovering ability, the following three approaches are employed. (i) Projection of a self-model for predicting other individual's actions. (ii) Mediation by a physical object between self and other individual. (iii) Introduction of infant imitation by parent. For creating the self-model of a robot, we apply Recurrent Neural Network with Parametric Bias (RNNPB) model which can learn the robot's body dynamics. For the other-model of a human, conventional hierarchical neural networks are attached to the RNNPB model as "conversion modules". Our target task is a moving an object. For evaluation of our model, human discovery experiments by the robot projecting its self-model were conducted. The results demonstrated that our method enabled the robot to predict the human's motions, and to estimate the human's position fairly accurately, which proved its adequacy. ©2007 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    The purpose of this research is to develop techniques that enable robots to choose and track a desired person for interaction in daily-life environments. Therefore, localizing multiple moving sounds and human faces is necessary so that robots can locate a desired person. For sound source localization, we used a cross-power spectrum phase analysis (CSP) method and showed that CSP can localize sound sources only using two microphones and does not need impulse response data. An expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm was shown to enable a robot to cope with multiple moving sound sources. For face localization, we developed a method that can reliably detect several faces using the skin color classification obtained by using the EM algorithm. To deal with a change in color state according to illumination condition and various skin colors, the robot can obtain new skin color features of faces detected by OpenCV, an open vision library, for detecting human faces. Finally, we developed a probability based method to integrate auditory and visual information and to produce a reliable tracking path in real time. Furthermore, the developed system chose and tracked people while dealing with various background noises that are considered loud, even in the daily-life environments. ©2007 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    This paper addresses robot audition that can cope with speech that has a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in real time by using robot-embedded microphones. To cope with such a noise, we exploited two key ideas; Preprocessing consisting of sound source localization and separation with a microphone array, and system integration based on missing feature theory (MFT). Preprocessing improves the SNR of a target sound signal using geometric source separation with multichannel post-filter. MFT uses only reliable acoustic features in speech recognition and masks unreliable parts caused by errors in preprocessing. MFT thus provides smooth integration between preprocessing and automatic speech recognition. A real-time robot audition system based on these two key ideas is constructed for Honda ASIMO and Humanoid SIG2 with 8-ch microphone arrays. The paper also reports the improvement of ASR performance by using two and three simultaneous speech signals. © 2007 IEEE.

    本論文では,多重奏に対する音源同定において不可避な課題である「音の重なりによる特徴変動」について新たな解決法を提案する.多重奏では複数の楽器が同時に発音するため,各々の周波数成分が重なって干渉し,音響的特徴が変動する.本研究では,混合音から抽出した学習データに対して,各特徴量のクラス内分散・クラス間分散比を求めることで,周波数成分の重なりの影響の大きさを定量的に評価する.そして,線形判別分析を用いることで,これを最小化するように特徴量を重み付けした新たな特徴量軸を生成する.これにより,周波数成分の重なりの影響をできるだけ小さくした特徴空間が得られる.更に,音楽的文脈を利用することで音源同定の更なる高精度化を図る.実楽器音データベースから作成した二重奏〜四重奏の音響信号を用いた実験により,二重奏では50.9%から84.1%へ,三重奏では46.1%から77.6%へ,四重奏では43.1%から72.3%へ認識率の改善を得,本手法の有効性を確認した.

    本稿では,Instrogramと呼ばれる楽器存在確率の時間・周波数表現に基づく新たな楽器音認識手法を提案する.従来の多くの楽器音認識では単音を処理単位としていたため,各単音の発音時刻や基本周波数(FO)を正確に推定する必要があった.しかし,混合音におけるそれらの推定は難しく,推定誤りによって楽器音認識精度は大きく低下していた.本手法では,これらの推定をせずに,あらゆるFOに関して楽器存在確率の時系列を求め,Instrogramと呼ばれるスペクトログラムのような視覚表現として可視化する.実験の結果,Instrogramが実際の楽器構成を表していることを確認した.さらに,Instrogram間の類似度計算に基づいた類似楽曲検索も実現した.This paper describes a new musical instrument recognition method based on the time-frequency representation of instrumentation called an instrogram. Because the conventional instrument recognition is performed for each note, accurate estimation of the onset time and fundamental frequency (FO) is required. These estimation is, however, difficult in polyphonic music, and thus their errors deteriorated the recognition performance severely. Without these estimation , our method calculates the temporal trajectory of instrument existence probabilities for every possible FO and visualizes them as a spectrogram-like graphical representation,called an instrogram. Experimental results show that instrograms represent actual instrumentation. We have also achieved music information retrieval by calculating the similarity between instrograms.

  • 音楽音響信号と歌詞の時間的対応付け手法:歌声の分離と母音のViterbiアラインメント

    本稿では,伴奏音を含む音楽音響信号と対応する歌詞の時間的な対応付け手法について述べる.クリーンな音声信号とその発話内容の時間的対応付けを推定をするViterbi アラインメント手法はこれまでも存在したが,歌声と同時に演奏される伴奏音の悪影響で市販 CD 中の歌声には適用できなかった.本稿では,この問題を解決するため,歌声の調波構造を抽出・再合成することで混合音中の歌声を分離する手法,歌声・非歌声状態を行き来する隠れマルコフモデル (HMM)を用いた歌声区間検出手法,音響モデルを分離歌声に適応させることで Viterbi アラインメントを適用する手法を提案する.日本語のポピュラー音楽を用いた評価実験を行い,本手法により10曲中8曲について十分な精度で音楽と歌詞の対応付けが出来ることを確かめた.This paper describes a method that can automatically synchronize between polyphonic musical audio signals and corresponding lyrics. Although there were methods that can synchronize between monophonic speech signals and corresponding text transcriptions by using Viterbi alignment techniques, they cannot be applied to vocals in CD recordings because accompaniment sounds often overlap with vocals. To align lyrics with such vocals, we therefore developed three methods: a method for segregating vocals from polyphonic sound mixtures by extracting and resynthesizing the vocal melody, a method for detecting vocal sections using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) that transitions back and forth between vocal and non-vocal state, and a method for adapting a speech-recognizer phone model to segregated vocal signals. Experimental results for 10 Japanese popular-music songs showed that our system can synchronize between music and lyrics with satisfactory accuracy for 8 songs.

    本論文では,実世界の音楽音響信号に対する歌手名の同定手法について述べる.歌手名の同定を行う際に大きな問題となるのは,混在する伴奏音の影響である.本論文ではこの問題を解決するため,伴奏音抑制と高信頼度フレーム選択の手法を提案する.前者では,優勢なメロディの調波構造を抽出し再合成することで,伴奏音の影響を低減させることができる.後者は,歌声と非歌声を表す2 種類の混合正規分布を用いて,それぞれのフレームが歌声として信頼できるか否かを判定するものである.実験の結果,本手法によって,10 歌手40 曲に対して95%の識別率を達成し,本手法を用いない場合と比較して誤り率を約89%削減した.また,20 歌手256 曲に対する実験の結果,約93%の識別率を達成し,誤り率を約65%削減した.This paper describes a method for automatic singer identification from polyphonic musical audio signals. The main problem in automatically identifying singers is negative influence caused by accompaniment sounds. To solve this problem, we developed two methods: accompaniment sound reduction and reliable frame selection. The former makes it possible to reduce accompaniment sounds by extracting and resynthesizing harmonic components of the predominant melody. The latter judges whether each frame of the obtained melody is reliable or not by using two Gaussian mixture models for vocal and non-vocal frames. Experimental results with 256 songs by 20 singers showed that our method reduced 65% of classification errors, and achieved an accuracy of 93%.

    As the learning function of a communication robot, we are using Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC). The IEC is an evolutionary computation where the fitness function is performed by a user, so it is available for the learning of the user's subjective preference. In this paper, we show the adaptability of the IEC to the interaction between various users and a robot. We installed the IEC function into a real robot named WAMOEBA-3. In the experiment, various interactions were shown because we did not tell subjects anything about the robot. However, the robot's motion changed to the behavior the users liked and the fitness values are gradually increased. Therefore, the adaptability of the IEC is confirmed.

    The network learning method named Self-Organizing Network Elements (SONE) was proposed and has been investigated by us. Autonomous exploration of effective output, simple external parameters, and low calculation costs are achieved as functions of a robot system with this method. However, there is the necessity of improving performance against noises for learning more complicated tasks. Therefore, we propose the technique for adjusting the thresholds in Self-Organizing Logic Circuit in this paper. In our experiments, 3Bit operation tasks and controlling Khepera robot, the generation of new elements was appropriately controlled with this technique, and also the network performance against noises is improved.

    There are some difficulties to apply traditional reinforcement learning algorithms to robot motion control task. Because most algorithms are concerned with discrete state space and based on the assumption of complete observability of the state. This paper deals with these problems by combining the reinforcement learning algorithm and CTRNN learning algorithm (BPTT). We carried out an experiment on pendulum swing up task without rotational speed information. It is shown that the information about rotational speed of pendulum, which is considered as a hidden state, is estimated and encoded on the activation of a context unit.

    Since quantitative evaluation of the human-robot interaction is quite difficult, we are using the Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) to realize the adaptive interaction robot. However, if the IEC is applied to a complicated robot, the search space becomes very vast. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an incremental evolution technique where the evolution is carried out in two steps. First, the robot is evaluated automatically on the basis of the principle of Self-Preservation. Next, the robot is evaluated by the users. As the results of the experiment, the advantage of our proposed method is confirmed.

  • Acquisition of Motion Primitives of Robot in Human-Navigation Task

    Information and Media Technologies   1 ( 1 ) 305 - 313  2006年

     概要を見る

    A novel approach to human-robot collaboration based on quasi-symbolic expressions is proposed. The target task is navigation in which a person with his or her eyes covered and a humanoid robot collaborate in a context-dependent manner. The robot uses a recurrent neural net with parametric bias (RNNPB) model to acquire the behavioral primitives, which are sensory-motor units, composing the whole task. The robot expresses the PB dynamics as primitives using symbolic sounds, and the person influences these dynamics through tactile sensors attached to the robot. Experiments with six participants demonstrated that the level of influence the person has on the PB dynamics is strongly related to task performance, the person's subjective impressions, and the prediction error of the RNNPB model (task stability). Simulation experiments demonstrated that the subjective impressions of the correspondence between the utterance sounds (the PB values) and the motions were well reproduced by the rehearsal of the RNNPB model.

  • An error correction framework based on drum pattern periodicity for improving drum sound detection

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a framework for correcting errors of automatic drum sound detection focusing on the periodicity of drum patterns. We define drum patterns as periodic structures found in onset sequences of bass and snare drum sounds. Our framework extracts periodic drum patterns from imperfect onset sequences of detected drum sounds (bottom-up processing) and corrects errors using the periodicity of the drum patterns (top-down processing). We implemented this framework on our drum-sound detection system. We first obtained onset sequences of the drum sounds with our system and extracted drum patterns. On the basis of our observation that the same drum patterns tend to be repeated, we detected time points which deviate from the periodicity as error candidates. Finally, we verified each error candidate to judge whether it is an actual onset or not. Experiments of drum sound detection for polyphonic audio signals of popular CD recordings showed that our correction framework improved the average detection accuracy from 77.4% to 80.7%.

    This paper describes a new technique for recognizing musical instruments in polyphonic music. Because the conventional framework for musical instrument recognition in polyphonic music had to estimate the onset time and fundamental frequency (F0) of each note, instrument recognition strictly suffered from errors of onset detection and F0 estimation. Unlike such a note-based processing framework, our technique calculates the temporal trajectory of instrument existence probabilities for every possible F0, and the results are visualized with a spectrogram-like graphical representation called instrogram. The instrument existence probability is defined as the product of a nonspecific instrument existence probability calculated using PreFEst and a conditional instrument existence probability calculated using the hidden Markov model. Experimental results show that the obtained instrograms reflect the actual instrumentations and facilitate instrument recognition. © 2006 IEEE.

    This paper describes a method for estimating F0s of vocal from polyphonic audio signals. Because melody is sung by a singer in many musical pieces, the estimation of F0s of the vocal part is useful for many applications. Based on existing multiple-F0 estimation method, we evaluate the vocal probabilities of the harmonic structure of each F0 candidate. In order to calculate the vocal probabilities of the harmonic structure, we extract and resynthesize the harmonic structure by using a sinusoidal model and extract feature vectors. Then, we evaluate the vocal probability by using vocal and non-vocal Gaussian mixture models (GMMs). Finally, we track F0 trajectories using these probabilities based on Viterbi search. Experimental results show that our method improves estimation accuracy from 78.1% to 84.3%, which is 28.3% reduction of misestimation. © 2006 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Robot audition is a critical technology in making robots symbiosis with people. Since we hear a mixture of sounds in our daily lives, sound source localization and separation, and recognition of separated sounds are three essential capabilities. Sound source localization has been recently studied well for robots, while the other capabilities still need extensive studies. This paper reports the robot audition system with a pair of omni-directional microphones embedded in a humanoid to recognize two simultaneous talkers. It first separates sound sources by Independent Component Analysis (ICA) with single-input multiple-output (SIMO) model. Then, spectral distortion for separated sounds is estimated to identify reliable and unreliable components of the spectrogram. This estimation generates the missing feature masks as spectrographic masks. These masks are then used to avoid influences caused by spectral distortion in automatic speech recognition based on missing-feature method. The novel ideas of our system reside in estimates of spectral distortion of temporal-frequency domain in terms of feature vectors. In addition, we point out that the voice-activity detection (VAD) is effective to overcome the weak point of ICA against the changing number of talkers. The resulting system outperformed the baseline robot audition system by 15 %. © 2006 IEEE.

  • Dynamic perception after visually guided grasping by a human-like autonomous robot

     概要を見る

    We will explore dynamic perception following the visually guided grasping of several objects by a human-like autonomous robot. This competency serves for object categorization. Physical interaction with the hand-held object gives the neural network of the robot the rich, coherent and multi-modal sensory input. Multi-layered self-organizing maps are designed and examined in static and dynamic conditions. The results of the tests in the former condition show its capability of robust categorization against noise. The network also shows better performance than a single-layered map does. In the latter condition we focus on shaking behavior by moving only the forearm of the robot. In some combinations of grasping style and shaking radius the network is capable of categorizing two objects robustly. The results show that the network capability to achieve the task largely depends on how to grasp and how to move the objects. These results together with a preliminary simulation are promising toward the self-organization of a high degree of autonomous dynamic object categorization. © 2006 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

     概要を見る

    We developed a multi-domain spoken dialogue system that can handle user requests across multiple domains. Such systems need to satisfy two requirements: extensibility and robustness against speech recognition errors. Extensibility is required to allow for the modification and addition of domains independent of other domains. Robustness against speech recognition errors is required because such errors are inevitable in speech recognition. However, the systems should still behave appropriately, even when their inputs are erroneous. Our system was constructed on an extensible architecture and is equipped with a robust and extensible domain selection method. Domain selection was based on three choices: (I) the previous domain, (II) the domain in which the speech recognition result can be accepted with the highest recognition score, and (III) other domains. With the third choice we newly introduced, our system can prevent dialogues from continuously being stuck in an erroneous domain. Our experimental results, obtained with 10 subjects, showed that our method reduced the domain selection errors by 18.3%, compared to a conventional method. © 2006 Association for Computational Linguistics.

Finally, we verified each error candidate to judge whether it is an actual onset or not. Experiments of drum sound detection for polyphonic audio signals of popular CD recordings showed that our correction framework improved the average detection accuracy from 77.4% to 80.7%. © 2006 IEEE.

    "Listening to several things at once" is a people's dream and one goal of AI and robot audition, because people can listen to at most two things at once according to psychophysical observations. Current noise reduction techniques cannot help to achieve this goal because they assume quasi-stationary noises, not interfering speech signals. Since robots are used in various environments, robot audition systems require minimum a priori information about their acoustic environments and speakers. We evaluate a missing feature theory approach that interfaces between sound source separation (SSS) and automatic speech recognition. The essential part is the estimate of reliability of each feature of separated sounds. We tested two kinds of robot audition systems that use SSS: independent component analysis (ICA) with two microphones, and geometric source separation (GSS) with eight microphones. For each SSS, automatic missing feature mask generation is developed. The recognition accuracy of two simultaneous speech improved to an average of 67.8 and 88.0% for ICA and GSS, respectively. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.

  • Improvement against noises in self-organizing logic circuit

     概要を見る

    We proposed and evaluated a network learning method called self-organizing network elements (SONE). Autonomous exploration of effective output, the use of simple external parameters, and low calculation costs were functions achieved for a robot system with this method. However, there is the need to improve performance against noises for learning more complicated tasks. Therefore, we propose a technique to adjust thresholds in a self-organizing logic circuit based on SONE. In our experiments, performing 3-bit operation tasks, controlling a Khepera robot, and generating new elements was appropriately controlled with this technique. Also, network performance against noises was improved as a result of using the proposed method. ©2006 IEEE.

    There are some difficulties in applying traditional reinforcement learning algorithms to motion control tasks of robot. Because most algorithms are concerned with discrete actions and based on the assumption of complete observability of the state. This paper deals with these two problems by combining the reinforcement learning algorithm and CTRNN learning algorithm. We carried out an experiment on the pendulum swing-up task without rotational speed information. It is shown that the information about the rotational speed, which is considered as a hidden state, is estimated and encoded on the activation of a context neuron. As a result, this task is accomplished in several hundred trials using the proposed algorithm. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a robot audition system that recognizes simultaneous speech in the real world by using robot-embedded microphones. We have previously reported Missing Feature Theory (MFT) based integration of Sound Source Separation (SSS) and Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for building robust robot audition. We demonstrated that a MFT-based prototype system drastically improved the performance of speech recognition even when three speakers talked to a robot simultaneously. However, the prototype system had three problems; being offline, hand-tuning of system parameters, and failure in Voice Activity Detection (VAD). To attain online processing, we introduced FlowDesigner-based architecture to integrate sound source localization (SSL), SSS and ASR. This architecture brings fast processing and easy implementation because it provides a simple framework of shared-object-based integration. To optimize the parameters, we developed Genetic Algorithm (GA) based parameter optimization, because it is difficult to build an analytical optimization model for mutually dependent system parameters. To improve VAD, we integrated new VAD based on a power spectrum and location of a sound source into the system, since conventional VAD relying only on power often fails due to low signal-to-noise ratio of simultaneous speech. We, then, constructed a robot audition system for Honda ASIMO. As a result, we showed that the system worked online and fast, and had a better performance in robustness and accuracy through experiments on recognition of simultaneous speech in a noisy and echoic environment. © 2006 IEEE.

  • Multiple acoustical holography method for localization of objects in broad range using audible sound

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a new acoustic localization method using audible sound, which can be applied over a broader range of search directions. In the field of Robotics, most conventional indoor localization systems based on sonar range finders use ultrasound to obtain a highly accurate distance. Because ultrasound has high directivity, many measurements are required to localize objects in a large space. To achieve localization with one-time measurement, we use audible sounds. We then calculate an intensity field of the reflection sound to estimate object positions. Although acoustical holography (AH) is a well-known technique to do this, it has problems in that it generates false images. We propose multiple AH (MAH) to solve this problem. The method is used to divide a measurement plane into sub-planes and to apply AH to each sub-plane. By integrating the results of applying AH to the sub-planes, false images can be suppressed because the positions of the false images differ depending on the position of the sub-plane. In addition, we use multiple frequencies to advance an accuracy of the localization based on MAH in a real environment. We constructed a localization system with only one speaker and a microphone array. In both simulation and actual experiments, we confirmed that MAH was effective method for the suppression of false image and could be used within the range of an angle view of 120 deg. ©2006 IEEE.

  • Experience based imitation using RNNPB

     概要を見る

    Robot imitation is a useful and promising alternative to robot programming. Robot imitation involves two crucial issues. The first is how a robot can imitate a human whose physical structure and properties differ greatly from its own. The second is how the robot can generate various motions from finite programmable patterns (generalization). This paper describes a novel approach to robot imitation based on its own physical experiences. Let us consider a target task of moving an object on a table. For imitation, we focused on an active sensing process in which the robot acquires the relation between the object's motion and its own arm motion. For generalization, we applied a recurrent neural network with parametric bias (RNNPB) model to enable recognition/generation of imitation motions. The robot associates the arm motion which reproduces the observed object's motion presented by a human operator. Experimental results demonstrated that our method enabled the robot to imitate not only motion it has experienced but also unknown motion, which proved its capability for generalization. © 2006 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Robot audition systems require capabilities for sound source separation and the recognition of separated sounds, since we hear a mixture of sounds in our daily lives, especially mixed of speech. We report a robot audition system with a pair of omni-directional microphones embedded in a humanoid that recognizes two simultaneous talkers. It first separates the sound sources by Independent Component Analysis (ICA) with the single-input multiple-output (SIMO) model. Then, spectral distortion in the separated sounds is then estimated to generate missing feature masks. Finally, the separated sounds are recognized by missing-feature theory (MFT) for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). The novel aspects of our system involve estimates of spectral distortion in the temporal-frequency domain in terms of feature vectors and based on estimates error in SIMO-ICA signals. The resulting system outperformed the baseline robot audition system by 7 %.

  • Speaker identification under noisy environments by using harmonic structure extraction and reliable frame weighting

     概要を見る

    We present methods for automatic speaker identification in noisy environments. To improve noise robustness of speaker identification, we developed two methods, the harmonic structure extraction method and the reliable frame weighting method. The harmonic structure extraction method enables the speaker of input speech signals to be identified after environmental noise has been reduced. This method first extracts harmonic components of the speech from the sound mixtures and then resynthesizes a clean speech signal by using a sinusoidal model driven by harmonic components. The reliable frame weighting method then determines how each frame of the resynthesized speech is reliable (i.e. little influenced by environmental noises) by using two Gaussian mixture models for the speech and noise. The speaker can be robustly identified by attaching importance to reliable frames. Experimental results with thirty speakers showed that our method was able to reduce the influences of environmental noise and achieved an error rate of 10.7%, while the error rate for a conventional method was 18.9%.

  • Automatic feature weighting in automatic transcription of specified part in polyphonic music

     概要を見る

    We studied the problem of automatic music transcription (AMT) for polyphonic music. AMT is an important task for music information retrieval because AMT results enable retrieving musical pieces, high-level annotation, demixing, etc. We attempted to transcribe a part played by an instrument specified by users (specified part tracking). Only two timbre models are required in the specified part tracking to identify the specified musical instrument even when the number of instruments increases. This transcription is formulated into a time-series classification problem with multiple features. We furthermore attempted to automatically estimate weights of the features, because the importance of these features varies for each musical signal. We estimated quasi-optimal weights of the features using a genetic algorithm for each musical signal. We tested our AMT system using trio stereo musical signals. Accuracies with our feature weighting method were 69.8% on average, whereas those without feature weighting were 66.0%. © 2006 University of Victoria.

    Our goal is to create the robot system which interacts with human users keeping their interest during a long period. We focus on the Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) technique to achieve this goal. Although the IEC enables users to design various systems which reflect their subjective preferences, it forces users to evaluate a huge number of individuals in the genetic pool during the evolution period. To solve this problem, we propose a refined IEC technique, named Human-Machine Hybrid Evaluation (HMHE), which selects the representative genes for user evaluation and estimates the evaluation results of the other genes. It can increase the population size without increasing the users' evaluation processes. We carried out some simulations where a humanoid robot with our method interacted with a user. The experimental results demonstrated that the HMHE could continue to generate the various robot behaviors by adapting to the transition of user's subjective preferences. © 2006 ICASE.

  • Automatic synchronization between lyrics and music CD recordings based on Viterbi alignment of segregated vocal signals

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a system that can automatically synchronize between polyphonic musical audio signals and corresponding lyrics. Although there were methods that can synchronize between monophonie speech signals and corresponding text transcriptions by using Viterbi alignment techniques, they cannot be applied to vocals in CD recordings because accompaniment sounds often overlap with vocals. To align lyrics with such vocals, we therefore developed three methods: a method for segregating vocals from polyphonic sound mixtures, a method for detecting vocal sections, and a method for adapting a speech-recognizer phone model to segregated vocal signals. Experimental results for 10 Japanese popular-music songs showed that our system can synchronize between music and lyrics with satisfactory accuracy for 8 songs. © 2006 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Instrumentation is an important cue in retrieving musical content. Conventional methods for instrument recognition performing notewise require accurate estimation of the onset time and fundamental frequency (F0) for each note, which is not easy in polyphonic music. This paper presents a non-notewise method for instrument recognition in polyphonic musical audio signals. Instead of such note-wise estimation, our method calculates the temporal trajectory of instrument existence probabilities for every F0 and visualizes it as a spectrogram-like graphical representation, called an instrogram. This method can avoid the influence by errors of onset detection and F0 estimation because it does not use them. We also present methods for MPEG-7-based instrument annotation and music information retrieval based on the similarity between instrograms. Experimental results with realistic music show the average accuracy of 76.2% for the instrument annotation and that the instrogram-based similarity measure represents the actual instrumentation similarity better than an MFCC-based one. ©2006 IEEE.

    データベース検索タスクにおける音声対話システムにおいて,音声認識誤りの棄却や意味曖昧性の解消のために文脈的制約を取り入れる手法について述べる.まず,データベース検索タスクの対話は「検索条件の指定」から「情報の提示要求」へと移行するとモデル化する.さらに,検索条件をその入力の順序に従って木構造状に管理する.言語理解部ではこれらのモデルから得られる特徴を決定木学習により文脈的制約として取り入れる.提案手法をレストランデータベース検索システムとして実装し,20名の被験者による評価実験を行った.実験の結果,提案手法に基づく文脈的特徴を加えることで,13.4\%の意味理解誤り削減が認められた.We describe how to introduce contextual information in spoken dialogue systems for database retrieval task. In this paper, we model dialogues in the database retrieval task as consisting of two modes: ``specifying retrieval conditions'' and ``requesting detailed information about specific entries''. Furthermore, we manage retrieval conditions as a tree structure. Based on those models, we introduce decision tree learning using features reflecting the situations in the task as well as those derived from current utterances. By using the output of the decision tree, the system can appropriately select words from a speech recognition result even when it contains some errors. The experimental result showed that our method could identify users' intentions 13.4% better than that without the contexual information.

  • Sound-imitation word recognition for environmental sounds disambiguation in determining phonemes of sound-imitation words

    Kazushi Ishihara, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    Transactions of the Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence   20 ( 3 ) 229 - 236  2005年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Environmental sounds are very helpful in understanding environmental situations and in telling the approach of danger, and sound-imitation words (sound-related onomatopoeia) are important expressions to inform such sounds in human communication, especially in Japanese language. In this paper, we design a method to recognize sound-imitation words (SIWs) for environmental sounds. Critical issues in recognizing SIW are how to divide an environmental sound into recognition units and how to resolve representation ambiguity of the sounds. To solve these problems, we designed three-stage procedure that transforms environmental sounds into sound-imitation words, and phoneme group expressions that can represent ambiguous sounds. The three-stage procedure is as follows: (1) a whole waveform is divided into some chunks, (2) the chunks are transformed into sound-imitation syllables by phoneme recognition, (3) a sound-imitation word is constructed from sound-imitation syllables according to the requirements of the Japanese language. Ambiguity problem is that an environmental sound is often recognized differently by different listeners even under the same situation. Phoneme group expressions are new phonemes for environmental sounds, and they can express multiple sound-imitation words by one word. We designed two sets of phoneme groups: "a set of basic phoneme group" and "a set of articulation-based phoneme group" to absorb the ambiguity. Based on subjective experiments, the set of basic phoneme groups proved more appropriate to represent environmental sounds than the articulation-based one or a set of normal Japaneses phonemes.

  • Open-end human-robot interaction from the dynamical systems perspective: Mutual adaptation and incremental learning

     概要を見る

    In this paper, we experimentally investigated the open-end interaction generated by the mutual adaptation between humans and robot. Its essential characteristic, incremental learning, is examined using the dynamical systems approach. Our research concentrated on the navigation system of a specially developed humanoid robot called Robovie and seven human subjects whose eyes were covered, making them dependent on the robot for directions. We used the usual feed-forward neural network (FFNN) without recursive connections and the recurrent neural network (RNN) for the robot control. Although the performances obtained with both the RNN and the FFNN improved in the early stages of learning, as the subject changed the operation by learning on its own, all performances gradually became unstable and failed. Next, we used a 'consolidation-learning algorithm' as a model of the hippocampus in the brain. In this method, the RNN was trained by both new data and the rehearsal outputs of the RNN not to damage the contents of current memory. The proposed method enabled the robot to improve performance even when learning continued for a long time (openend). The dynamical systems analysis of RNNs supports these differences and also showed that the collaboration scheme was developed dynamically along with succeeding phase transitions. © VSP and Robotics Society of Japan 2005.

  • Enhanced robot speech recognition based on microphone array source separation and missing feature theory

    Shun'ichi Yamamoto, Jean Marc Valin, Kazuhiro Nakadai, Jean Rouat, François Michaud, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation   2005   1477 - 1482  2005年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    A humanoid robot under real-world environments usually hears mixtures of sounds, and thus three capabilities are essential for robot audition; sound source localization, separation, and recognition of separated sounds. While the first two are frequently addressed, the last one has not been studied so much. We present a system that gives a humanoid robot the ability to localize, separate and recognize simultaneous sound sources. A microphone array is used along with a real-time dedicated implementation of Geometric Source Separation (GSS) and a multi-channel post-filter that gives us a further reduction of interferences from other sources. An automatic speech recognizer (ASR) based on the Missing Feature Theory (MFT) recognizes separated sounds in real-time by generating missing feature masks automatically from the post-filtering step. The main advantage of this approach for humanoid robots resides in the fact that the ASR with a clean acoustic model can adapt the distortion of separated sound by consulting the post-filter feature masks. Recognition rates are presented for three simultaneous speakers located at 2m from the robot. Use of both the post-filter and the missing feature mask results in an average reduction in error rate of 42% (relative). ©2005 IEEE.

    Research on human-robot interaction is getting an increasing amount of attention. Because almost all the research has dealt with communication between one robot and one person, quite little is known about communication between a robot and multiple people. We developed a method that enables robots to communicate with multiple people by selecting an interactive partner using criteria based on the concept of proxemics. In this method, a robot changes active sensory-motor modalities based on the interaction distance between itself and a person. Our method was implemented in a humanoid robot, SIG2, using a subsumption architecture. SIG2 has various sensory-motor modalities to interact with humans. A demonstration of SIG2 showed that the proposed method works well during interaction with multiple people. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.

    This study discusses a learning algorithm for autonomous robots that has five characteristics including autonomous exploration of effective output, low calculation costs, capability for multi-tasking, reusing past knowledge, and handling time series. We propose the use of self-organizing network elements (SONE) as a method for creating learning systems that provide these characteristics. Using this method, we created and evaluated a Self-Organizing Logic Circuit. The results of our experiments showed that this learning system met the requirements by being capable of creating a basic logic circuit, learning additional knowledge, controlling a simple robot in a simulation, and solving a maze problem. ©2005 IEEE.

    A humanoid robot under real-world environments usually hears mixtures of sounds, and thus three capabilities are essential for robot audition; sound source localization, separation, and recognition of separated sounds. We have adopted the missing feature theory (MFT) for automatic recognition of separated speech, and developed the robot audition system. A microphone array is used along with a real-time dedicated implementation of Geometric Source Separation (GSS) and a multi-channel post-filter that gives us a further reduction of interferences from other sources. The automatic speech recognition based on MFT recognizes separated sounds by generating missing feature masks automatically from the post-filtering step. The main advantage of this approach for humanoid robots resides in the fact that the ASR with a clean acoustic model can adapt the distortion of separated sound by consulting the post-filter feature masks. In this paper, we used the improved Julius as an MFT-based automatic speech recognizer (ASR). The Julius is a real-time large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) system. We performed the experiment to evaluate our robot audition system. In this experiment, the system recognizes a sentence, not an isolated word. We showed the improvement in the system performance through three simultaneous speech recognition on the humanoid SIG2. © 2005 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    This paper describes how to implement interactive evolutionary computation (IEC) into a human-robot communication system. IEC is an evolutionary computation (EC) in which the fitness function is performed by human assessors. We used IEC to configure the human-robot communication system. We have already simulated IEC's application. In this paper, we implemented IEC into a real robot. Since this experiment leads considerable burdens on both the robot and experimental subjects, we propose the human-machine hybrid evaluation (HMHE) to increase the diversity within the genetic pool without increasing the number of interactions. We used a communication robot, WAMOEBA-3 (Waseda Artificial Mind On Emotion BAse), which is appropriate for this experiment. In the experiment, human assessors interacted with WAMOEBA- 3 in various ways. The fitness values increased gradually, and assessors felt the robot learnt the motions they desired. Therefore, it was confirmed that the IEC is most suitable as the communication learning system. © 2005 IEEE.

  • Spatially mapping of friendliness for human-robot interaction

    2005 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, IROS     1277 - 1282  2005年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    It is important that robots interact with multiple people. However, most research has dealt with only interaction between one robot and one person and assumed that the distance between them does not change. This paper focuses on the spatial relationships between a robot and multiple people during interaction. Based on the distance between them, our robot selects appropriate functions to use. It does this using a method we developed for spatially mapping the "friendliness" of each space around the robot. The robot interacts with the highest friendliness spaces (people) selectively, thereby enabling interaction between the robot and multiple people. Our humanoid robot, SIG2 which the proposed method was implemented into, interacted with about 30 visitors, at the Kyoto University Museum. The results obtained using questionnaires after interaction showed that the actions of SIG2 were easy to understand even when it interacted with multiple people at the same time and that SIG2 behaved in a friendly manner. © 2005 IEEE.

  • Extracting multi-modal dynamics of objects using RNNPB

     概要を見る

    Dynamic features play an important role in recognizing objects that have similar static features in colors and or shapes. This paper focuses on active sensing that exploits dynamic feature of an object. An extended version of the robot, Robovie-IIs, moves an object by its arm to obtain its dynamic features. Its issue is how to extract symbols from various kinds of temporal states of the object. We use the recurrent neural network with parametric bias (RNNPB) that generates selforganized nodes in the parametric bias space. The RNNPB with 42 neurons was trained with the data of sounds, trajectories, and tactile sensors generated while the robot was moving/hitting an object with its own arm. The clusters of 20 kinds of objects were successfully self-organized. The experiments with unknown (not trained) objects demonstrated that our method configured them in the PB space appropriately, which proves its generalization capability. © 2005 IEEE.

  • Multiple moving speaker tracking by microphone array on mobile robot

    9th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology     249 - 252  2005年

     概要を見る

    Real-world applications often require tracking multiple moving speakers for improving human-robot interactions and/or sound source separation. This paper presents multiple moving speaker tracking using an 8ch microphone array system installed on a mobile robot. This problem is difficult because the system does not assume that sound sources and/or the microphone array are fixed. Our solutions consist of two key ideas - time delay of arrival estimation, and multiple Kalman filters. The former localizes multiple sound sources based on beamforming in real time. Non-linear movements are tracked by using a set of Kalman filters with different history lengths in order to reduce errors in tracking multiple moving speakers under noisy and echoic environments. For quantitative evaluation of the tracking, motion references of sound sources and a mobile robot, called SIG2, were measured accurately by ultrasonic 3D tag sensors. As a result, we showed that the system tracked three simultaneous sound sources even when SIG2 moved in a room with large reverberation due to glass walls.

  • Contextual constraints based on dialogue models in database search task for spoken dialogue systems

    Kazunori Komatani, Naoyuki Kanda, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    9th European Conference on Speech Communication and Technology     877 - 880  2005年

     概要を見る

    This paper describes the incorporation of contextual information into spoken dialogue systems in the database search task. Appropriate dialogue modeling is required to manage automatic speech recognition (ASR) errors using dialogue-level information. We define two dialogue models: a model for dialogue flow and a model of structured dialogue history. The model for dialogue flow assumes dialogues in the database search task consist of only two modes. In the structured dialogue history model, query conditions are maintained as a tree structure, taking into consideration their inputted order. The constraints derived from these models are integrated by using a decision tree learning, so that the system can determine a dialogue act of the utterance and whether each content word should be accepted or rejected, even when it contains ASR errors. The experimental result showed that our method could interpret content words better than conventional one without the contextual information. Furthermore, it was also shown that our method was domain-independent because it achieved equivalent accuracy in another domain with-out any more training.

  • Singer identification based on accompaniment sound reduction and reliable frame selection

     概要を見る

    This paper describes a method for automatic singer identification from polyphonic musical audio signals including sounds of various instruments. Because singing voices play an important role in musical pieces with a vocal part, the identification of singer names is useful for music information retrieval systems. The main problem in automatically identifying singers is the negative influences caused by accompaniment sounds. To solve this problem, we developed two methods, accompaniment sound reduction and reliable frame selection. The former method makes it possible to identify the singer of a singing voice after reducing accompaniment sounds. It first extracts harmonic components of the predominant melody from sound mixtures and then resynthesizes the melody by using a sinusoidal model driven by those components. The latter method then judges whether each frame of the obtained melody is reliable (i.e. little influenced by accompaniment sound) or not by using two Gaussian mixture models for vocal and non-vocal frames. It enables the singer identification using only reliable vocal portions of musical pieces. Experimental results with forty popular-music songs by ten singers showed that our method was able to reduce the influences of accompaniment sounds and achieved an accuracy of 95%, while the accuracy for a conventional method was 53%. © 2005 Queen Mary, University of London.

  • Instrument identification in polyphonic music: Feature weighting with mixed sounds, pitch-dependent timbre modeling, and use of musical context

    Tetsuro Kitahara, Masataka Goto, Kazunori Komatani, Tetsuya Ogata, Hiroshi G. Okuno

    ISMIR 2005 - 6th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval     558 - 563  2005年

     概要を見る

    This paper addresses the problem of identifying musical instruments in polyphonic music. Musical instrument identification (MII) is an improtant task in music information retrieval because MII results make it possible to automatically retrieving certain types of music (e.g., piano sonata, string quartet). Only a few studies, however, have dealt with MII in polyphonic music. In MII in polyphonic music, there are three issues: feature variations caused by sound mixtures, the pitch dependency of timbres, and the use of musical context. For the first issue, templates of feature vectors representing timbres are extracted from not only isolated sounds but also sound mixtures. Because some features are not robust in the mixtures, features are weighted according to their robustness by using linear discriminant analysis. For the second issue, we use an F0-dependent multivariate normal distribution, which approximates the pitch dependency as a function of fundamental frequency. For the third issue, when the instrument of each note is identified, the a priori probablity of the note is calculated from the a posteriori probabilities of temporally neighboring notes. Experimental results showed that recognition rates were improved from 60.8% to 85.8% for trio music and from 65.5% to 91.1% for duo music. © 2005 Queen Mary, University of London.

  • Walking with body-sense in virtual space using the nonlinear oscillator

    Conference Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics   1   324 - 329  2005年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a novel construction of a locomotion system that compensates for walking-sense with simple interfaces using hands or fingers. The realization of moving with body-sense in virtual space has required high-quality system designs including walking cancellations, haptic feedback, and high-resolution displays. However, such approaches result in increasing costs of calculation and space, which obstruct the spread of VR technology. We therefore propose a new framework of locomotion systems with simple interfaces that give users "passivity and restraint", which are essential components of walking-sense. They are realized with mutual entrainment between a nonlinear oscillator and users' input. Two experiments were conducted for evaluation. The first one showed that our system gives users sense of distance based on a body standard and sense of rhythm with stable input. The second one demonstrated that the users of our system can experience a subjective body-sense and a sense of velocity. © 2005 IEEE.

    IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics   9 ( 3 ) 520 - 528  2004年09月  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    This paper presents a method of realizing flexible assembly work cooperation where the assembler is free to carry out the work, without constraints in the process. To realize such systems, there exists an issue of identifying work states during the assembly and to determine when and what kind of support is necessary. As an approach to solve such issues we took a self-organizing approach in constructing a work model, as an abstract model describing typical work states during the assembly. The necessity of support is judged by detecting uncommon work states occurring, and the type of support is determined by detecting the work state. Examples of work state identifications by the self-organized map are shown. We carried out experiments to evaluate the judgment of situational necessity of support and to verify the correct identification rate of typical work states. Finally a robotic support system was constructed that gives supports of autonomously holding and handing out assembly pieces by the judging of situational necessity of support. © 2004 IEEE.

    本稿では,音楽音響信号を対象とした和音進行と調の認識手法について述べる.和音区間検出,和音名同定及び調認識の間に存在する相互依存関係により,これらの処理を同時的に行う処理モデルが求められる.このために,我々は,複数生成された和音進行と調に関する評価値付きの仮説の中から,最も評価値が大きい仮説を認識結果として出力する手法を提案する.仮説の評価値は,従来研究で主に用いられてきた音響的特徴に加えて,和音遷移パターン,ベース音にもとづいて計算する.評価実験の結果,10曲のポピュラー音楽のCDから抽出した音響信号に対して,72.1%の認識率を達成した.This paper describes a method that recognizes musical chords and keys from musical audio signals. The mutual dependency among chord-boundary detection, chord-symbol identification, and key identification requires a model where these three are concurrently processed. We propose a method that generates various hypotheses of chord progressions and keys, and selects the most plausible one out of them as the recognition result. The certainty of a hypothesis is evaluated based not only on acoustic features used in most previous methods but also on chord transition patterns and bass sounds. Experimental results on 10 popular music songs show 72.1% average accuracy.

    This paper describes interactive learning between human subjects and robot using the dynamical systems approach. Our research concentrated on the navigation system of a humanoid robot and human subjects whose eyes were covered. We used the recurrent neural network (RNN) for the robot control. We used a "consolidation-learning algorithm" as a model of hippocampus in brain. In this method, the RNN was trained by both a new data and the rehearsal outputs of the RNN, not to damage the contents of current memory. The proposed method enabled the robot to improve the performance even when learning continued for a long time (open-end). The dynamical systems analysis of RNNs supports these differences.

    We are engaged in research on computational auditory scene analysis to attain sophisticated robot (computer) human interaction by recognizing auditory awareness. The objective of our research is the understanding of an arbitrary sound mixture including non-speech sounds and music as well as voiced speech, obtained by robot's ears (or microphones embedded in the robot). The main issues are sound source localization, separation, and recognition at signal processing levels, and signal-to-symbol transformation at the interface level to symbol processing levels. The latter is critical in developmental communication and we are developing an automatic onomatopoeia recognition system. This paper overviews our activities in robot audition, in particular, active direction-pass filter (ADPF) that separates sounds originating from a specific direction by integrating sound source localization and visual processing. ADPF is implemented on three kinds of robots and demonstrates separating and recognizing three simultaneous speeches with a pair of microphones.

  • Automatic sound-imitation word recognition from environmental sounds focusing on ambiguity problem in determining phonemes

     概要を見る

    Sound-imitation words (SIWs), or onomatopoeia, are important for computer human interactions and the automatic tagging of sound archives. The main problem in automatic SIW recognition is ambiguity in the determining phonemes, since different listener hears the same environmental sound as a different SIW even under the same situation. To solve this problem, we designed a set of new phonemes, called the basic phoneme-group set, to represent environmental sounds in addition to a set of the articulation-based phoneme-groups. Automatic SIW recognition based on Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with the basic phoneme-groups is allowed to generate plural SIWs in order to absorb ambiguities caused by listener- and situation-dependency. Listening experiments with seven subjects proved that automatic SIW recognition based on the basic phoneme-groups outperformed that based on the articulation-based phoneme-groups and that based on Japanese phonemes. The proposed system proved more adequate to use computer interactions. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.

     概要を見る

    Research on human-robot interaction is getting an increasing amount of attention. Since almost all the research has dealt with only communication between one robot and one person, there have been quite few discussions about communication between a robot and multiple people. This paper proposes a method which enables robots to communicate with multiple people using the 'selection priority of the interactive partner' based on the concept of 'Proxemics'. In this method, a robot changes active sensory-motor modalities based on the 'interaction distance' information. The proposed method is implemented into a humanoid robot SIG2 using subsumption architecture. SIG2 has various sensory-motor modalities to interact with humans. A demonstration of SIG2 showed that the proposed method works well during interaction with multiple people. © 2004 IEEE.

    This paper focuses on recognition of repeats in continuous environmental sounds. Environmental sounds, that are very informative in our daily lives, often repeat several times. Repeat recognition for environmental sounds is essential for compact representation of those sounds and for forecasting the future. In our method, input environmental sound signal is partitioned into several units according to the shapes of the power envelopes, and the auditory distance between every pair of units is computed. Repeating parts are then detected by using the approximate matching algorithm. Experimental results showed the 73.3% of recognition rate in counting the repeats of 30 environmental sounds, the length of each of which ranged from 20 seconds to 2 minutes. © 2004 IEEE.

     概要を見る

    Behavior imitation is crucial for the acquisition of intelligence as well as in communication. This paper describes two kinds of experiments of human-robot communication based on behavior imitation. One compared results obtained when the robot did and did not predict the experimental subject 's behaviors by using past datasets, and the other compared results obtained with and without target objects in the simulator environment. The result of former experiment showed that the prediction of the subject's behaviors increase the subject's interest. The result of the latter experiment confirmed that the presence of objects facilitates joint attention and make human-robot communication possible even when the robot uses a simple imitation mechanism. This result shows that in human-robot communication, human not only recognizes the behaviors of the robot passively but also adapts to the situation actively. In conclusion, it is confirmed that motion prediction and the presence of objects for joint attention are important for human-robot communication. © 2004 IEEE.

  • Acquisition of reactive motion for communication robots using interactive EC

     概要を見る

    We've developed an emotional communication robot, WAMOEBA, using behavior-based techniques. We also proposed motor-agent (MA) model, which is an autonomous distributed-control algorithm constructed of simple sensor-motor coordination. Though it enables WAMOEBA to behave in various ways, the weight of the combinations between different motor agents is influenced by the preferences of the developer. We usually use machine-learning algorithms to automatically configure these parameters for communication robots. However, this makes it difficult to define the quantitative evaluation required for communication. We therefore used the method of interactive evolutionary computation (IEC), which can be applied to problems involving quantitative evaluation. IEC does not require to define a fitness function; this task is performed by users. But the biggest problem with using IEC is human fatigue, which causes insufficiency of individuals and generations for convergence of EC. To fix this problem, we use the prediction function that automatically calculates the fitness values of genes from some samples that have received the human subjective evaluation. Then we carried out the behavior acquisition experiment using the IEC simulation system with the prediction function. As the results of experiments, it is confirmed that diversifying the genetic pool is an efficient way for generating a variety of behavior.

     概要を見る

    On the methodology of robotic design from the traditional view of communication which is assumed as a symbol process, robots are forced to confront the symbol grounding problem. However, if communication is assumed as the analog dynamics and robots are driven by it, robots can avoid the problem and be situated in the environment and to other agents. In this paper we will introduce a new communication system constructed from the view of dynamical systems to achieve the situatedness. This system is that there is a robot in a virtual environment and the control of the robot is shared by human operation using a joystick and a robot controller. As the controller, we adopt multiple recurrent neural networks (MRNN) which are able to cope with complex environments and broad communication that single recurrent net cannot cope with. We conduct two experiments in order to evaluate the effectiveness of MRNN to a low level communication task such as nonverbal interaction. First, we examine the effect of the number of RNNs contained in MRNN. Second, we examine the effect of the context dependency of MRNN. These experiments show the capability of MRNN as a new-type controller of communication robot.

    A novel approach to human-robot collaboration based on quasi-symbolic expressions is proposed. The target task is navigation in which a person with his or her covered and a humanoid robot collaborate in a context-dependent manner. The robot uses a recurrent neural net with parametric bias (RNNPB) model to acquire the behavioral primitives, which are sensory-motor units, composing the whole task. The robot expresses the PB dynamics as primitives using symbolic sounds, and the person influences these dynamics through tactile sensors attached to the robot Experiments with six participants demonstrated that the level of influence the person has on the PB dynamics is strongly related to task performance, the person's subjective impressions, and the prediction error of the RNNPB model (task stability). Simulation experiments demonstrated that the subjective impressions of the correspondence between the utterance sounds (the PB values) and the motions were well reproduced by the rehearsal of the RNNPB model.

  • Disambiguation in determining phonemes of sound-imitation words for environmental sound recognition

    8th International Conference on Spoken Language Processing, ICSLP 2004     1485 - 1488  2004年  [査読有り]

     概要を見る

    Onomatopoeia, or sound-imitation words (SIWs) are important in informing sound events in human-computer communication. One problem is listener-dependency in recognizing environmental sounds by means of SIWs, that is, different listener hears the same environmental sound as a different SIW even under the same condition. Therefore, the use of usual Japanese phonemes is not adequate to express SIWs. To cope with this ambiguity problem of phoneme determination, we designed a set of new phonemes, referred to as the basic phoneme-groups, to represent environmental sounds. The basic phoneme-group consists of one or more Japanese phonemes, and thus the ambiguity problem is resolved based on it by generating one or more SIWs for a sound event. An HMM-based scheme is adopted to recognize SIWs using the phoneme-groups. Listening experiments with seven subjects showed that automatic SIW recognition based on the basic phoneme-groups outperformed ones based on the other types of phonemes. The recall and precision rate were 56.4% and 72.2%, respectively.

We also developed a, new hardware platform, WAMOEBA-3, to install our new knowledge into the robot. WAMOEBA-3, a wheel type, independent robot, was designed for easy maintenance and customization. As a new function for WAMOEBA-3, we introduced an evolutionary function for the acquisition of reactive motion that uses an interactive evolutionary computation method. We show the results of simulation experiments and discuss real world applications. © 2004 IEEE.

    Recent studies on embodied cognitive science have shown us the possibility of emergence of more complex and nontrivial behaviors with quite simple designs if the designer takes the dynamics of the system-environment interaction into account properly. In this paper, we report our tentative classification experiments of several objects using the human-like autonomous robot, "WAMOEBA-2Ri". As modeling the environment, we focus on not only static aspects of the environment but also dynamic aspects of it including that of the system own. The visualized results of this experiment shows the integration of multimodal sensor dataset acquired by the system-environment interaction ("grasping") enable robust categorization of several objects. Finally, in discussion, we demonstrate a possible application to making "invariance in motion" emerge consequently by extending this approach.

     概要を見る

    This study presents a method of realizing flexible assembly work cooperation in cases where neither the assembly process, nor the final form of the completed task is pre-defined in advance. To realize such systems, there exists an issue of identifying work states during the assembly, and determine when and what kind of support is necessary. As an approach of solving such issues, identifying the work states from a work model built by self-organizing assembly motions of human is taken. Examples of the work state identifications and a support system, which judges the situational necessity of support and selects whether to hand out or holds assembly parts are shown. The support is carried out based on the work states identified by the self-organized map. Experiments indicate that work state identification by a self-organizing map is effective in flexibly cooperating with human during assembly work.

     概要を見る

    In this paper, we investigated interactive learning between human subjects and robot experimentally, and its essential characteristics are examined using the dynamical systems approach. Our research concentrated on the navigation system of a specially developed humanoid robot called Robovie and seven human subjects whose eyes were covered, making them dependent on the robot for directions. We compared the usual feed-forward neural net-work (FFNN) without recursive connections and the recurrent neural network (RNN). Although the performances obtained with both the RNN and the FFNN improved in the early stages of learning, as the subject changed the operation by learning on its own, all performances gradually became unstable and failed. Results of a questionnaire given to the subjects confirmed that the FFNN gives better mental impressions, especially from the aspect of operability. When the robot used a consolidation-learning algorithm using the rehearsal outputs of the RNN, the performance improved even when interactive learning continued for a long time. The questionnaire results then also confirmed that the subject's mental impressions of the RNN improved significantly. The dynamical systems analysis of RNNs support these differences.

    This study aims to investigate the intelligence which can make robots adapt to the human environment. This paper points out the problems of the behavior-based robot, and proposes the methods which can generate whole body motions based on body structure and integrates the reflection motions to make the behaviors continuous. The motion performances are compared in two kinds of environments, such as a dynamic environment and a static environment, by using a simulator of the autonomous robot WAMOEBA-2Ri developed in this research. Finally, we show that the integration parameters of the proposal method reflect the body structure of the robot and environmental structures.

     概要を見る

    In this paper, we discuss the communication between autonomous robots and humans through the development of a robot which has an emotion model. The model depicts the endocrine system of humans and has four kinds of hormone parameters to adjust various internal conditions such as motor output, cooling fan output and sensor gain. We surveyed 126 visitors at the '97 International Robot Exhibition held in Tokyo, Japan (Oct. 1997) to evaluate their psychological impressions of the robot. As a result, the human friendliness of the robot was confirmed and some factors of human-robot emotional communication were discovered.

     概要を見る

    This study presents a method of human co-operating systems, which can determine when support behavior is necessary by a human work model. We focus on assembly work as the target and propose a self-organizing approach of human work models by sampled human information by vision sensors. The support is determined according to the work model. Such a system would realize provision of support without a strict model of the assembly target and enable support in cases where neither the assembly process, nor the final form of the completed task, is known to the system in advance. First, a method of measuring human information and extracting states where support is necessary, from the human work model is presented. Next, a support system for assembly work co-operation according to the work model, with physical interaction capabilities is described. Experiments were carried out to evaluate and verify the effectiveness of the system. The results show that the constructed assembly support system is effective in both improving performance and increasing friendliness.

The hardware of the autonomic nervous system incorporated into the independent autonomous mobile robot WAMOEBA-2 (Waseda Artificial Mind On Emotion BAse) which has been developed for the realization of the emotional communication between humans and robots is presented. WAMOEBA-2 has four kinds of hormone parameters using the original algorithm, the evaluation function for self-preservation. These parameters influence various parts of the mechanical system so that WAMOEBA-2 can cope with its environment and `express emotions'.

     概要を見る

    The objective of this work is to develop a new robot intelligence for human-machine communication and environment-machine interaction based on the self-preservation function which should be involved in human mind. In this paper, the system chart expressing the human brain information processing, and the development of an autonomous mobile robot "WAMOEBA-1R" (Waseda Artificial Mind On Emotion BAse) are described. The concept of the WAMOEBA-1R design is that robots should have Self-Preservation Evaluation Function as an emotion function. Further more, the method to evaluate the whole system are described from the viewpoint of the animal psychology. As a result of the experiments, WAMOEBA-1R showed specific reactions with color emotion appearances to some simulations. WAMOEBA-1R had the sense of values about colors and sounds based on Self-Preservation, and achieved new type human-machine communications by expressing an emotion color.

     概要を見る

    To plan behavior procedures, it is necessary for an agent to have a world model concerning the temporal sequences information. In this paper, a temporal information learning algorithm is proposed with a three layer neural network implemented the `effectiveness of simulation accumulation' algorithm. This algorithm can construct `behavior automaton' in the neural network. From the results of some learning experiments using a mobile robot simulation, the generated automaton express the complexity of the simulation environments. The robot agent acquires a behavior automaton for obstacle avoidance behavior which is influenced by the simulation environment.

     概要を見る

    To cope with dynamically changing environments, creatures have not only `motor nervous system' but `autonomic nervous system' as an internal adjustment mechanism. However conventional robots have been equipped with only the motor nervous system. We developed an autonomous mobile robot implemented a internal adjustment model based on self-preservation. This model involves the original system named `Behavior-Adjustment System', which influences a whole condition of the robot. This paper describes the concrete methodology for application of the behavior-adjustment system to robots. We confirmed the feasibility of the proposed system for the mobile robot in two practical experiments; `obstacle avoidance problem' and `effect of the voltage of battery'.

     概要を見る

    The objective of this work is to develop the technology for human-machine communication through the research of the emergence of mind in mechanical systems. In this paper, the hypothesis about the emergence of mind are proposed. First, the system chart expressing the human brain information processing, and the development of an autonomous mobile robot 'WAMOEBA-IR' (Waseda Artificial Mind On Emotion BAse) are described. The conception of the WAMOEBA-IR design is that robots should have Self-Preservation Evaluation Function. Further more, the method to evaluate the whole system are described from the viewpoint of the animal psychology. As a result of the experiments, WAMOEBA-IR showed specific emotional reactions with color appearances to some situations. WAMOEBA-IR has the sense of values about colors and sounds based on Self-Preservation as the first step of the emergence of mind.

     概要を見る

    三面図は3次元物体の2次元平面上での表現として,歴史的に広く用いられてきた経緯がある.ただ,本来3次元空間に存在するものを2次元平面上へ写像するため,三面図が曖昧になるケースが存在し,その際には対応する3次元モデルが一意に定まらないという不都合が生じる.この不都合を克服するために,対応する3次元モデルを一意に生成するためにヒューリスティクスを用いる研究も存在するが,我々はこれまで三面図の曖昧性の除去に物体表現の観点から取り組んできた.3次元物体のその他の表現法として,位相的に異なるすべての可能な面図を節点とし,それらの間の可能な遷移関係に対して枝を張ったaspect graphと呼ばれるものがある.我々は,aspect graphが有する表現力の完全性を情報量の冗長性をできるだけ避けながら三面図に反映させること,つまり生成用の表現と認識用の表現の統合を目指す観点にたって研究を進めている.なお本稿で扱う3次元物体のクラスは,多面体のうち複数に分離していないもの(多様体)に限るものとする.

     概要を見る

    In this research we develop a smart sensing system that enables robot hands to achieve human-like manipulation skills. Key components are 1. dense 3-axis tactile sensors for robot hands and 2. learning algorithms exploiting massive 3-axis tactile data for intelligent force control.
    <BR>
    We integrated the tactile skin sensors in grippers and robot hands. Using a novel joint (with a remote center of motion mechanism) we could achieve full coverage of the palmar side of the fingers with sensors in one gripper. Furthermore, we instrumented human hands with the sensors, to enable skill transfer from human to robot hands in the future. We used the skin sensors integrated in the robot hands for various machine learning experiments. In particular, we used deep convolutional neural networks for tactile object recognition as well as for in-hand manipulation.

     概要を見る

    近年,深層学習が多様な領域で利用されているが,その適用範囲は電子化されたデータ処理に特化されており,実世界での作業性が十分に得られていない.一方,ロボットを用いた生活支援が強く期待されている.近年は,汎用型のロボットOSを利用した多機能型汎用ロボットの可能性が着目されている.そこで本研究では,ロボットOSと深層学習を用いたロボット動作学習を実現し,ロボットの知能化と開発コスト削減を行った.
    具体的には,乳幼児の発達学習に関連した認知発達ロボティクス研究の成果を活用し,模倣学習,予測符号化などの概念を元に,実ロボットのから得られる感覚運動情報(経験)を深層学習によりモデル化する手法を提案した.

     概要を見る

    本課題では,ロボットと人間との相互協調系について"力学系の視点からの解析"と"人間とのインタラクション実験"によって,その特徴を明らかにすることを目的としている.
    人間同士の相互協調を考える際,互いの行為モデルを獲得することは不可欠である.しかし人間は複雑な行為モデルを有するため,その完全なモデルを獲得する事は不可能であり,現実には可能な限り早く"有効な近似モデル"を獲得することが重要となる.平成19年度はこれまでの研究をベースに,「他者」モデル獲得をテーマとして研究を展開した.具体的に本研究では「幼児が外部環境や協調者(親)を理解する際,自己身体の順逆モデルを変換し,再利用することで学習コストを軽減している」という仮説を立て,ロボットを幼児に見立てた物体操作模倣(Emulation)発達過程モデルを提案した.
    提案モデルは以下の5つの学習段階を持つ.(step 1)ロボットによる自己身体・物体操作のバブリングと再起結合神経回路モデルを用いた順逆モデル獲得,(step 2)協調者とロボットにおける同一物体操作によるインタラクション(三項関係),(step 3)step 2における協調者によるロボットの模倣,(step 4)混合エキスパート神経回路モデルによる入出力(視野)変換モデルの自己組織化,(step 5)ロボットによる協調者行為予測のための変換モデル選択と模倣.
    実験の結果,ロボットは協調者予測のための変換モデルを少数回インタラクションで獲得し,これを用い他者(協調者)の視点での物体操作模倣が可能であることが分かった.さらにインタラクション中に未出現の物体操作の模倣,物体操作中の静止画像からの全体動作連想などが可能であることを確認した.これらを模倣に関する知見(Piaget,1996やRizzolatti,1998など)と比較し,その妥当性を議論した.今後はより高次の模倣(MimicやImitation)への拡張と人間とロボットの相互適応系への応用に取り組んでいく.

     概要を見る

    本研究では"異種の感覚モダリティのマッピング"を工学的手法により実現することを目的とする.特に視覚と聴覚の変換に着目し,音響信号を表現するロボットモーションや音響モデルを再生する声道モデルダイナミクスを生成する.本技術は,多自由度ロボットのダンスパターンの自動生成や,環境音の擬音語化などに応用可能と期待される.さらに"共感覚"などの心理学の知見との関連に関する議論も期待できる.
    我々は平成17年度に小型ロボットKeepon(NICT開発)を用いた動作と音響信号の変換モデルを提案した.しかしその音響信号生成は白色信号をベースとした単純なモデルを用いていたため,きわめて多様性に乏しいものであった.そこで18年度は多様な音響信号生成,さらに幼児の発音過程のモデル化を目的として,平成17年度提案したモダリティ変換モデルに,声道モデル(Maedaモデル,1990)を適用した音声模倣モデルを構築した.具体的には声道モデルによる音声バブリングを人工神経回路で学習し,その体験をもとに入力音声を再生するモデルである.
    人間の実発話(母音)模倣をターゲットとして提案モデルの特性分析実験を行った.その結果,2母音の発話入力がバブリング済である場合,人間が弁別可能な高い品質で音声模倣を行えることを確認した.3母音の音声模倣では,提案モデルの汎化能力によりバブリングしていない音声パターンにおける模倣も実現した.また音響信号のみを学習した神経回路モデルと,音響信号と声道動作を学習した神経回路モデルとを比較し「音声知覚の運動理論」を支持する結果が得られた.

     概要を見る

    実ロボットシステムにおいて従来のパターン認識技術(状況分類)は、その行動生成に直接役に立たない。本研究では認識を"対象の挙動を予測する行為"として捉える立場をとり、これに関する実験研究を行った。具体的には、感覚運動時系列情報(ダイナミクス)に基づく分節化表現(プリミティブ)に着目し、ロボットが実世界で獲得するプリミティブ表現の分析を行った。
    学習・認識・生成を同時に行う手法として、パラメータ付再帰結合神経回路モデル(RNNPB)を利用した。RNNPBは複数のプリミティブを自己組織的に獲得し、その切り替えをパラメータにより制御する予測学習器である。
    (1)ロボットによるダイナミクス規範能動知覚:
    RNNPBによる物体能動知覚機能をロボットRobovie-IIsに導入した。対象への接触時に生じる音、動き、圧力、モータ関節角度のダイナミクスをRNNPBのパラメータ空間に表現させた。20種類以上の物体をパラメータ空間でクラスタリングが可能であること、さらに未知物体のクラスタリングも可能であることを確認した。
    (2)ロボットによる擬似シンボル生成とその構造・解釈:
    ロボットと人間による卓上物体の協調移動を対象に、RNNPBが獲得するプリミティブの解析を行った。モータ関節角度と物体位置情報を観測させ、RNNPBのパラメータを閾値処理することにより擬似シンボルを生成した。実験の結果、パラメータ数に応じた擬似シンボルを生成可能であることが確認された。
    提案した擬似シンボルは"ロボットが自ら生成・利用できる"点で有効であるが、タスクが時間的に変化していく場合は対応しきれない。今後追加学習&汎化を可能とする枠組みを考慮する必要がある。また現時点の擬似シンボルは感覚運動ダイナミクスのアトラクターの境界条件にすぎない。今後、文法・論理構造など自然言語との関係をより詳細に検討していく必要がある。

     概要を見る

    本研究は,ロボットと人間との円滑なコミュニケーションの実現を目指し,ロボットの行動モデルの構成法,および人間とロボットの「情緒的コミュニケーション(人間の感情移入を伴うコミュニケーション)」に関する,実用的知見を得ることを目的としている.昨年度までに,内分泌系を参考とした感情モデルを持つ自律ロボットWAMOEBA-2Ri(ワメーバ,Waseda Artificial Mind On Emotion Base)を開発してきた.
    本年度は更なるコミュニケーション機能向上を目指して,視覚機能およびアームシステムの機能向上を行い,物体の自律的な把持動作・操り動作を実現した.さらにコミュニケーションにおけるシンボル(言語)の扱いについて議論を行うためにセンサ-モータ協調の原理(Sensory-Motor Coordination)について考察し,新たに階層型のコホネン型SOM(Self-Organizing Map)を構築,WAMOEBA-2Riへの導入を行った.
    本モデルは,下位に設置した複数のSOMが視聴覚などのセンサ情報,モータコマンドなどの運動情報を,それぞれ独立に分節化し,さらにそこで獲得した中間情報を上位SOMが一つのパターンとして分類(統合化)する.その結果,対象は感覚-運動のコンテキストとしてモデル化される.
    WAMOEBA-2Riのシミュレーションを用いて,把持動作中の各種情報(物体の色彩,手先幅-把持圧力の関係,アームにかかるトルクなど)にノイズを加え,そのとき階層型SOMが獲得する内部表現について分析を行った.その結果,次元の異なる情報間の干渉を防ぐことにより,対象の多様なモデル化(表現)が可能となることが確認された.

     概要を見る

    本研究では,人間型ロボットの動作学習を目的として構築した遠隔操作による動作教示システムの概要を報告する.従来,ロボットの動作教示には手先トルクセンサーを用いたダイレクトティーチングが一般的であるが,この方式では画像入力と連携した複雑な動作を教示することは容易ではない.そこでHMDとモーションキャプチャにより人間がロボットを直感的に遠隔操作することで複雑な動作を効率的に試行させ,その際の画像データと関節データを深層学習モデルの教示データとして利用する.提案システムをNextageに導入した結果,双腕協調による物体マニピュレーションタスクの学習が可能となることが確認された.

    本研究では,ロボットの学習機構の軸となる機構としての,自己身体モデルについて,特に視野内の自己領域と外部物体とを区別する基礎モデルを提案し,認知モデルとの対応と理解,及びロボットシステムへの応用を目指している.我々は特に,再起結合型神経回モデル(RNN)の一種であるStochastic ContinuousTime Recurrent Neural Network(S-CTRNN)を用いた方法を提案した. S-CTRNNは時系列変化の予測のみならず,その不確実性を分散として予測することが可能なモデルである.このS-CTRNNを人間型ロボットに実装し,視野内の自己のハンドとボールとのインタラクションを観察,学習させる実験を行った.その結果分散予測によって,自己身体と外部物体の運動の区別を行える可能性が示された.&nbsp;
