InfoShield: Privacy-Preserving Speech Representations for Mental Health Screening via Information-Theoretic Optimization

Researchers introduce InfoShield, a privacy-preserving machine learning technique that maintains depression detection accuracy while preventing the inference of sensitive demographic attributes from speech data. The method uses information-theoretic optimization to reduce mutual information between speech representations and demographic information, addressing a critical barrier to clinical deployment of speech-based mental health screening.

Resource-Constrained Affect Modelling via Variance Regularisation Pruning

Researchers introduce Variance-Regularised Pruning (VR), a neural network pruning technique that reduces model size while maintaining robust performance across diverse users. The method balances computational efficiency with cross-participant stability in affective computing systems, achieving 80% sparsity without sacrificing reliability on the AGAIN emotion recognition dataset.

Robust Synchronisation for Federated Learning in The Face of Correlated Device Failure

Researchers introduce Availability-Weighted Probabilistic Synchronous Parallel (AW-PSP), an improved federated learning algorithm that addresses bias in node sampling when device availability and data distribution are correlated. The technique uses dynamic probability adjustments, Markov-based failure prediction, and distributed metadata management to improve fairness and robustness in edge computing environments where devices frequently fail or become unavailable.
