As humans, we hear sound every second of our life. The sound we hear is often affected by the acoustics of the environment surrounding us. For example, a spacious hall leads to more reverberation. Room Impulse Responses (RIR) are commonly…
A microphone array can provide a mobile robot with the capability of localizing, tracking and separating distant sound sources in 2D, i.e., estimating their relative elevation and azimuth. To combine acoustic data with visual information in…
This paper considers a radio-frequency (RF)-based simultaneous localization and source-seeking (SLASS) problem in multi-robot systems, where multiple robots jointly localize themselves and an RF source using distance-only measurements…
Separation of simultaneously active multiple speakers is a difficult task in environments with strong reverberation and many background noise sources. This paper uses the relative transfer matrix (ReTM), a generalization of the relative…
Existing methods utilizing spatial information for sound source separation require prior knowledge of the direction of arrival (DOA) of the source or utilize estimated but imprecise localization results, which impairs the separation…
We propose a neural network model that can separate target speech sources from interfering sources at different angular regions using two microphones. The model is trained with simulated room impulse responses (RIRs) using omni-directional…
The objective of this paper is to perform audio-visual sound source separation, i.e.~to separate component audios from a mixture based on the videos of sound sources. Moreover, we aim to pinpoint the source location in the input video…
Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (ASR) is crucial for many real-world applications, but it requires dedicated modeling techniques. Existing approaches can be divided into modular and end-to-end methods. Modular approaches separate…
Augmented listening devices, such as hearing aids and augmented reality headsets, enhance human perception by changing the sounds that we hear. Microphone arrays can improve the performance of listening systems in noisy environments, but…
In this paper, we introduce the task of language-queried audio source separation (LASS), which aims to separate a target source from an audio mixture based on a natural language query of the target source (e.g., "a man tells a joke followed…
This study describes a binaural machine hearing system that is capable of performing auditory stream segregation in scenarios where multiple sound sources are present. The process of stream segregation refers to the capability of human…
Knowledge sharing is an important aspect in most meetings. Personal characteristics of some participants, such as their (in)ability or (un)willingness to take the floor, may have a negative effect on the quality of knowledge sharing; some…
The source separation-based speech enhancement problem with multiple beamforming in reverberant indoor environments is addressed in this paper. We propose that more generic solutions should cope with time-varying dynamic scenarios with…
Mobile robots in real-life settings would benefit from being able to localize and track sound sources. Such a capability can help localizing a person or an interesting event in the environment, and also provides enhanced processing for…
The state of the art in music source separation employs neural networks trained in a supervised fashion on multi-track databases to estimate the sources from a given mixture. With only few datasets available, often extensive data…
In short video and live broadcasts, speech, singing voice, and background music often overlap and obscure each other. This complexity creates difficulties in structuring and recognizing the audio content, which may impair subsequent ASR and…
Universal source separation targets at separating the audio sources of an arbitrary mix, removing the constraint to operate on a specific domain like speech or music. Yet, the potential of universal source separation is limited because most…
Speech separation has been shown effective for multi-talker speech recognition. Under the ad hoc microphone array setup where the array consists of spatially distributed asynchronous microphones, additional challenges must be overcome as…
Several attempts have been made to handle multiple source separation tasks such as speech enhancement, speech separation, sound event separation, music source separation (MSS), or cinematic audio source separation (CASS) with a single…
This paper addresses the issue of active speaker detection (ASD) in noisy environments and formulates a robust active speaker detection (rASD) problem. Existing ASD approaches leverage both audio and visual modalities, but non-speech sounds…
