In this paper we first demonstrate continuous noisy speech recognition using electroencephalography (EEG) signals on English vocabulary using different types of state of the art end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) models, we…
The goal of this contribution is to use a parametric speech synthesis system for reducing background noise and other interferences from recorded speech signals. In a first step, Hidden Markov Models of the synthesis system are trained. Two…
Advancements in clinical Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) depend on precise and reliable signal interpretation. However, the high-dimensional and noisy nature of data captured from both implanted and non-implanted BCIs poses significant…
Speech enhancement and speech separation are two related tasks, whose purpose is to extract either one or more target speech signals, respectively, from a mixture of sounds generated by several sources. Traditionally, these tasks have been…
Current approaches to detecting depression and anxiety from speech primarily rely on machine learning techniques that utilize hand-engineered paralinguistic features and related acoustic descriptors derived from time- and frequency-domain…
Thousands of individuals need surgical removal of their larynx due to critical diseases every year and therefore, require an alternative form of communication to articulate speech sounds after the loss of their voice box. This work…
This paper proposes a new task called spatial voice conversion, which aims to convert a target voice while preserving spatial information and non-target signals. Traditional voice conversion methods focus on single-channel waveforms,…
Form about four decades human beings have been dreaming of an intelligent machine which can master the natural speech. In its simplest form, this machine should consist of two subsystems, namely automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech…
BCI systems are able to communicate directly between the brain and computer using neural activity measurements without the involvement of muscle movements. For BCI systems to be widely used by people with severe disabilities, long-term…
Decoding text, speech, or images from human neural signals holds promising potential both as neuroprosthesis for patients and as innovative communication tools for general users. Although neural signals contain various information on speech…
Speech decoding from EEG signals is a challenging task, where brain activity is modeled to estimate salient characteristics of acoustic stimuli. We propose FESDE, a novel framework for Fully-End-to-end Speech Decoding from EEG signals. Our…
Spoken dialogue systems (SDSs) utilize automatic speech recognition (ASR) at the front end of their pipeline. The role of ASR in SDSs is to recognize information in user speech related to response generation appropriately. Examining…
Language assessment plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating individuals with speech, language, and communication disorders caused by neurogenic conditions, whether developmental or acquired. However, current assessment methods are…
The integration of artificial intelligence into hearing assistance marks a paradigm shift from traditional amplification-based systems to intelligent, context-aware audio processing. This systematic literature review evaluates advances in…
Ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) provides a convenient way to visualize the vocal tract during speech production. UTI is increasingly being used for speech therapy, making it important to develop automatic methods to assist various…
Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a non-invasive method of measuring neuromuscular potentials generated when the brain instructs the body to perform both fine and coarse locomotion. This technique has seen extensive investigation over the…
The main motivation for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is efficient interfaces to computers, and for the interfaces to be natural and truly useful, it should provide coverage for a large group of users. The purpose of these tasks is to…
Decoding human activity from EEG signals has long been a popular research topic. While recent studies have increasingly shifted focus from single-subject to cross-subject analysis, few have explored the model's ability to perform zero-shot…
We propose a brain-informed speech separation method for cochlear implants (CIs) that uses electroencephalography (EEG)-derived attention cues to guide enhancement toward the attended speaker. An attention-guided network fuses audio…
In the coming decade, artificial intelligence systems will continue to improve and revolutionise every industry and facet of human life. Designing effective, seamless and symbiotic communication paradigms between humans and AI agents is…
