Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are widely used in computer vision. They can be used not only for conventional digital image material to recognize patterns, but also for feature extraction from digital imagery representing spectral and…
Human-imitated speech poses a greater challenge than AI-generated speech for both human listeners and automatic detection systems. Unlike AI-generated speech, which often contains artifacts, over-smoothed spectra, or robotic cues, imitated…
This study explores the potential of using acoustic features of segmental speech sounds to detect deepfake audio. These features are highly interpretable because of their close relationship with human articulatory processes and are expected…
The focus of this paper is on classification of different vehicles using sound emanated from the vehicles. In this paper,quadratic discriminant analysis classifies audio signals of passing vehicles to bus, car, motor, and truck categories…
Visual learning problems such as object classification and action recognition are typically approached using extensions of the popular bag-of-words (BoW) model. Despite its great success, it is unclear what visual features the BoW model is…
A large number of works view the automatic assessment of speech from an utterance- or system-level perspective. While such approaches are good in judging overall quality, they cannot adequately explain why a certain score was assigned to an…
Nowadays voice search for points of interest (POI) is becoming increasingly popular. However, speech recognition for local POI has remained to be a challenge due to multi-dialect and massive POI. This paper improves speech recognition…
We consider the problem of audio voice separation for binaural applications, such as earphones and hearing aids. While today's neural networks perform remarkably well (separating $4+$ sources with 2 microphones) they assume a known or fixed…
Like the ordinary power spectrum, higher-order spectra (HOS) describe signal properties that are invariant under translations in time. Unlike the power spectrum, HOS retain phase information from which details of the signal waveform can be…
This research work is about recent development made in speech recognition. In this research work, analysis of isolated digit recognition in the presence of different bit rates and at different noise levels has been performed. This research…
In this work, a novel algorithm called SVM with Shape-adaptive Reconstruction and Smoothed Total Variation (SaR-SVM-STV) is introduced to classify hyperspectral images, which makes full use of spatial and spectral information. The…
Given a random sample from some unknown density $f_0: \mathbb R \to [0, \infty)$ we devise Haar wavelet estimators for $f_0$ with variable resolution levels constructed from localised test procedures (as in Lepski, Mammen, and Spokoiny…
Neural networks are increasingly used for graph classification in a variety of contexts. Social media is a critical application area in this space, however the characteristics of social media graphs differ from those seen in most popular…
Speech separation has been very successful with deep learning techniques. Substantial effort has been reported based on approaches over spectrogram, which is well known as the standard time-and-frequency cross-domain representation for…
A naive approach for finding similar audio items would be to compare each entry from the feature vector of the test example with each feature vector of the candidates in a k-nearest neighbors fashion. There are already two problems with…
In their everyday life, the speech recognition performance of human listeners is influenced by diverse factors, such as the acoustic environment, the talker and listener positions, possibly impaired hearing, and optional hearing devices.…
Identifying multiple speakers without knowing where a speaker's voice is in a recording is a challenging task. In this paper, a hierarchical attention network is proposed to solve a weakly labelled speaker identification problem. The use of…
In this paper, a hierarchical attention network to generate utterance-level embeddings (H-vectors) for speaker identification is proposed. Since different parts of an utterance may have different contributions to speaker identities, the use…
In this paper, we study the problem of semantic part segmentation for animals. This is more challenging than standard object detection, object segmentation and pose estimation tasks because semantic parts of animals often have similar…
Large audio language models are increasingly used for complex audio understanding tasks, but they struggle with temporal tasks that require precise temporal grounding, such as word alignment and speaker diarization. The standard approach,…
