Speaking2Me: Unsupervised Speaker Identification for Smartphone Devices using Deep Learning
Sep 2018 - Dec 2019
Typical approaches in Speaker Identification techniques use Deep Learning to yield impressive accuracy, however, they also require large neural networks and computational complexity in order to perform well. For mobile computing, models of such are not applicable due to small resource allocation and battery limitations. This papers contributes to the building of an unsupervised real-time system for Speaker Identification in smartphone devices.
Next2Me: Capturing Social Interactions through Smartphone Devices using WiFi and Audio signals
Jun 2015 - Nov 2017
Sensing capabilities in smartphones can allow the development of mobile apps that can capture the daily activates of a user through passive continuous sensing. Special purpose applications have been developed using a combination of the mobile phone’s sensors. Currently, there is an ever increasing interest in using smartphones as tools that can capture and log the user’s activities, allow them to recall past activities through their life‐logs, or explore certain trends in their daily routines (e.g. how much walking do I do during the day). This project will develop a mobile life‐logging app using the smartphone’s sensors, such as Wi-Fi fingerprinting.
The expected outcome of this project is to develop an app that can provide a platform where users can see who they interact with. The app can help a user remember who they are talking to by prompting the user when they are close to another person, and then alerting them of the name of who the person they are talking to, combined with a short public bio. Then, the app can use a database to discover any potential common friends which the user has with the other person. Moreover, the app could also use this information to suggest people who the user might like to meet.
This project was completed in September 2015 and won the IEEE UKRI Telecommunications Prize for the best Student Project in the Telecommunications Field in October 2015. Since then, the backend of the app continues to be developed for my PhD.
