Audio-visual speech enhancement (AV-SE) is the task of improving speech quality and intelligibility in a noisy environment using audio and visual information from a talker. Recently, deep learning techniques have been adopted to solve the…
Automatic target sound extraction (TSE) is a machine learning approach to mimic the human auditory perception capability of attending to a sound source of interest from a mixture of sources. It often uses a model conditioned on a fixed form…
In many situations, we would like to hear desired sound events (SEs) while being able to ignore interference. Target sound extraction (TSE) tackles this problem by estimating the audio signal of the sounds of target SE classes in a mixture…
Speech enhancement has recently achieved great success with various deep learning methods. However, most conventional speech enhancement systems are trained with supervised methods that impose two significant challenges. First, a majority…

Self-supervised learning (SSL) representation for speech has achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance on several downstream tasks. However, there remains room for improvement in speech enhancement (SE) tasks. In this study, we used a…
Previous studies have confirmed that by augmenting acoustic features with the place/manner of articulatory features, the speech enhancement (SE) process can be guided to consider the broad phonetic properties of the input speech when…
A typical neural speech enhancement (SE) approach mainly handles speech and noise mixtures, which is not optimal for singing voice enhancement scenarios. Music source separation (MSS) models treat vocals and various accompaniment components…
Self-supervised representation learning (SSL) has attained SOTA results on several downstream speech tasks, but SSL-based speech enhancement (SE) solutions still lag behind. To address this issue, we exploit three main ideas: (i)…
Target Speech Extraction (TSE) traditionally relies on explicit clues about the speaker's identity like enrollment audio, face images, or videos, which may not always be available. In this paper, we propose a text-guided TSE model StyleTSE…
Target confusion, defined as occasional switching to non-target speakers, poses a key challenge for end-to-end speaker extraction (E2E-SE) systems. We argue that this problem is largely caused by the lack of generalizability and…
This paper describes an audio-visual speech enhancement (AV-SE) method that estimates from noisy input audio a mixture of the speech of the speaker appearing in an input video (on-screen target speech) and of a selected speaker not…
Although high-fidelity speech can be obtained for intralingual speech synthesis, cross-lingual text-to-speech (CTTS) is still far from satisfactory as it is difficult to accurately retain the speaker timbres(i.e. speaker similarity) and…
The past decade has witnessed substantial growth of data-driven speech enhancement (SE) techniques thanks to deep learning. While existing approaches have shown impressive performance in some common datasets, most of them are designed only…
Real-time speech enhancement (SE) is essential to online speech communication. Causal SE models use only the previous context while predicting future information, such as phoneme continuation, may help performing causal SE. The phonetic…
High quality speech capture has been widely studied for both voice communication and human computer interface reasons. To improve the capture performance, we can often find multi-microphone speech enhancement techniques deployed on various…
