Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) play a crucial role in creating immersive spatial audio experiences. However, HRTFs differ significantly from person to person, and traditional methods for estimating personalized HRTFs are expensive,…
Audio-to-score alignment is a long-standing challenge in music information retrieval and arguably the most widely applicable alignment task for music research. Alignment algorithms match two versions of a piece of music, and for this to…
Photoacoustic tomography seeks to reconstruct an acoustic initial pressure distribution from the measurement of the ultrasound waveforms. Conventional methods assume a-prior knowledge of the sound speed distribution, which practically is…
Spatially selective active noise control (SSANC) hearables aim to attenuate noise from certain directions at the eardrum while preserving desired speech arriving from selected directions. Existing SSANC systems typically assume an accurate…
Speech enhancement for voice pickup in hearables aims to improve the user's voice by suppressing noise and interfering talkers, while maintaining own-voice quality. For single-channel methods, it is particularly challenging to distinguish…
One of the challenges in computational acoustics is the identification of models that can simulate and predict the physical behavior of a system generating an acoustic signal. Whenever such models are used for commercial applications an…
Many hearing-impaired listeners struggle to localize sounds due to poor availability of binaural cues. Listeners with a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid -- so-called bimodal listeners -- are amongst the worst performers, as…

Auditory perception involves cues in the monaural auditory pathways as well as binaural cues based on differences between the ears. So far auditory models have often focused on either monaural or binaural experiments in isolation. Although…
Existing prescriptive compression strategies used in hearing aid fitting are designed based on gain averages from a group of users which are not necessarily optimal for a specific user. Nearly half of hearing aid users prefer settings that…
