Speech enhancement employing deep neural networks (DNNs) for denoising is called noise suppression (DNS). The DNS trained with mean squared error (MSE) losses cannot guarantee good perceptual quality. Perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) a widely used metric evaluating However, the original PESQ algorithm non-differentiable, therefore, directly be as optimization criterion gradient-ba...

Mathematical modelling of dynamical processes often yields systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) or differential algebraic equations (DAEs). We investigate corresponding boundary value problems. Considering uncertainties in physical parameters of the systems, we introduce random variables. This stochastic model is resolved by the strategy of the polynomial chaos. A non-intrusive app...

Emotional memories, and especially intrusive memories, are a common feature of many psychological disorders, and are overconsolidated by stress. Attachment theory posits that activation of mental representations of attachment figures can reduce stress and boost coping. This study tested the proposition that attachment activation would reduce consolidation of emotional and intrusive memories. Si...
