      A Differentiable Generative Adversarial Network for Open Domain Dialogue 

      López Zorrilla, Asier ORCID; De Velasco Vázquez, Mikel ORCID; Torres Barañano, María Inés ORCID (2019-04)
      This work presents a novel methodology to train open domain neural dialogue systems within the framework of Generative Adversarial Networks with gradient-based optimization methods. We avoid the non-differentiability related ...

      Adding dimensional features for emotion recognition on speech 

      Ben Letaifa Zouari, Leila; Torres Barañano, María Inés ORCID; Justo Blanco, Raquel ORCID (IEEE, 2020-10-20)
      Developing accurate emotion recognition systems requires extracting suitable features of these emotions. In this paper, we propose an original approach of parameters extraction based on the strong, theoretical and empirical, ...
