Speech is critical to detecting suicidal ideation and a key to understanding the mental and emotional state of people experiencing it. Suicide hotline counselors are trained to quickly analyze speech variation to better help callers through a crisis.
ControlNet is a neural network that can improve image generation in Stable Diffusion by adding extra conditions. This allows users to have more control over the images generated. Instead of trying out different prompts, the ControlNet models enable users to generate consistent images with just one prompt. In this post, you will learn how to …
Sleep staging is a clinically important task for diagnosing various sleep disorders but remains challenging to deploy at scale because it requires clinical expertise, among other reasons. Deep learning models can perform the task but at the expense of large labeled datasets, which are unfeasible to procure at scale. While self-supervised learning (SSL) can mitigate …
