Audio anti-spoofing systems are typically formulated as binary classifiers distinguishing bona fide from spoofed speech. This assumption fails under layered generative processing, where benign transformations introduce distributional shifts…
When a signal is recorded in an enclosed room, it typically gets affected by reverberation. This degradation represents a problem when dealing with audio signals, particularly in the field of speech signal processing, such as automatic…

Speech time reversal refers to the process of reversing the entire speech signal in time, causing it to play backward. Such signals are completely unintelligible since the fundamental structures of phonemes and syllables are destroyed.…
One of the primary sources of suboptimal image quality in ultrasound imaging is phase aberration. It is caused by spatial changes in sound speed over a heterogeneous medium, which disturbs the transmitted waves and prevents coherent…
Disentanglement is a problem in which multiple conversations occur in the same channel simultaneously, and the listener should decide which utterance is part of the conversation he will respond to. We propose a new model, named Dialogue…
