There are three key factors of a system of coupled oscillators that characterize the interaction among them: coupling (how to affect), delay (when to affect) and topology (whom to affect). For each of them, the existing work has mainly…
Real-world sound scenes consist of time-varying collections of sound sources, each generating characteristic sound events that are mixed together in audio recordings. The association of these constituent sound events with their mixture and…
The usual interpretation of noise is represented by a sum of many independent two-level elementary random signals with a distribution of relaxation times. In this paper it is demonstrated that also the superposition of many similar…
Synchronization is the spontaneous alignment of the dynamics of weakly-coupled oscillators. In addition to temporal dynamics like periodic and chaotic oscillations, also the spatio-temporal dynamics of spatially-extended systems like…
Lip sync is a fundamental audio-visual task. However, existing lip sync methods fall short of being robust in the wild. One important cause could be distracting factors on the visual input side, making extracting lip motion information…

Source separation (SS) of acoustic signals is a research field that emerged in the mid-1990s and has flourished ever since. On the occasion of ICASSP's 50th anniversary, we review the major contributions and advancements in the past three…
Source separation is the process of isolating individual sounds in an auditory mixture of multiple sounds [1], and has a variety of applications ranging from speech enhancement and lyric transcription [2] to digital audio production for…
Our hearing organ, the cochlea, evidently poises itself at a Hopf bifurcation to maximize tuning and amplification. We show that in this condition several effects are expected to be generic: compression of the dynamic range, infinitely…
Living communities can be considered as complex systems, thus a fertile ground for studies related to their statistics and dynamics. In this study we revisit the case of the rhythmic applause by utilizing the model proposed by V\'azquez et…
Visual events are usually accompanied by sounds in our daily lives. However, can the machines learn to correlate the visual scene and sound, as well as localize the sound source only by observing them like humans? To investigate its…
Most sounds of interest consist of complex, time-dependent admixtures of tones of diverse frequencies and variable amplitudes. To detect and process these signals, the ear employs a highly nonlinear, adaptive, real-time spectral analyzer:…
Whether listening to overlapping conversations in a crowded room or recording the simultaneous electrical activity of millions of neurons, the natural world abounds with sparse measurements of complex overlapping signals that arise from…
One form of big data are signals - time series of consecutive values. In physical experiments, billions of values can now be measured within a second. Signals of heart and brain in intensive care, as well as seismic waves, are measured with…
Many audio synthesizers can produce the same signal given different parameter configurations, meaning the inversion from sound to parameters is an inherently ill-posed problem. We show that this is largely due to intrinsic symmetries of the…
The concept of time series irreversibility -- the degree by which the statistics of signals are not invariant under time reversal -- naturally appears in non-equilibrium physics in stationary systems which operate away from equilibrium and…
Query-based universal sound separation is fundamental to intelligent auditory systems, aiming to isolate specific sources from mixtures. Despite recent advances, existing methods continue to suffer from residual interference in complex…
