Deep neural networks can learn complex and abstract representations, that are progressively obtained by combining simpler ones. A recent trend in speech and speaker recognition consists in discovering these representations starting from raw…
3D speech enhancement can effectively improve the auditory experience and plays a crucial role in augmented reality technology. However, traditional convolutional-based speech enhancement methods have limitations in extracting dynamic voice…
In this paper, we present an improved model for voicing silent speech, where audio is synthesized from facial electromyography (EMG) signals. To give our model greater flexibility to learn its own input features, we directly use EMG signals…
The challenge of talking face generation from speech lies in aligning two different modal information, audio and video, such that the mouth region corresponds to input audio. Previous methods either exploit audio-visual representation…
Auditory attention decoding (AAD) is a technique used to identify and amplify the talker that a listener is focused on in a noisy environment. This is done by comparing the listener's brainwaves to a representation of all the sound sources…
We investigate the viability of a variational U-Net architecture for denoising of single-channel audio data. Deep network speech enhancement systems commonly aim to estimate filter masks, or opt to work on the waveform signal, potentially…
