Speech enhancement attenuates interfering sounds in speech signals but may introduce artifacts that perceivably deteriorate the output signal. We propose a method for controlling the trade-off between the attenuation of the interfering…
The goal of this work is to localize sound sources in visual scenes with a self-supervised approach. Contrastive learning in the context of sound source localization leverages the natural correspondence between audio and visual signals…
Speech enhancement (SE) methods mainly focus on recovering clean speech from noisy input. In real-world speech communication, however, noises often exist in not only speaker but also listener environments. Although SE methods can suppress…
Voice conversion has gained increasing popularity in many applications of speech synthesis. The idea is to change the voice identity from one speaker into another while keeping the linguistic content unchanged. Many voice conversion…
Acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), noise suppression (NS) and dereverberation (DR) are an integral part of modern full-duplex communication systems. As the demand for teleconferencing systems increases, addressing these tasks is required for…
Automated Audio captioning (AAC) is a cross-modal translation task that aims to use natural language to describe the content of an audio clip. As shown in the submissions received for Task 6 of the DCASE 2021 Challenges, this problem has…
Casual conversations involving multiple speakers and noises from surrounding devices are common in everyday environments, which degrades the performances of automatic speech recognition systems. These challenging characteristics of…
We address speaker-aware anti-spoofing, where prior knowledge of the target speaker is incorporated into a voice spoofing countermeasure (CM). In contrast to the frequently used speaker-independent solutions, we train the CM in a…
Voice conversion (VC) aims at conversion of speaker characteristic without altering content. Due to training data limitations and modeling imperfections, it is difficult to achieve believable speaker mimicry without introducing processing…
With the advent of the 6G era, the concept of semantic communication has attracted increasing attention. Compared with conventional communication systems, semantic communication systems are not only affected by physical noise existing in…
Co-channel interference cancellation (CCI) is the process used to reduce interference from other signals using the same frequency channel, thereby enhancing the performance of wireless communication systems. An improvement to this approach…

Spatially selective active noise control (ANC) hearables are designed to reduce unwanted noise from certain directions while preserving desired sounds from other directions. In previous studies, the target signal has been defined either as…
Speech enhancement algorithms based on deep learning have greatly surpassed their traditional counterparts and are now being considered for the task of removing acoustic echo from hands-free communication systems. This is a challenging…
Machine hearing of the environmental sound is one of the important issues in the audio recognition domain. It gives the machine the ability to discriminate between the different input sounds that guides its decision making. In this work we…
To extract robust deep representations from long sequential modeling of speech data, we propose a self-supervised learning approach, namely Contrastive Separative Coding (CSC). Our key finding is to learn such representations by separating…
The ideal goal of voice conversion is to convert the source speaker's speech to sound naturally like the target speaker while maintaining the linguistic content and the prosody of the source speech. However, current approaches are…
In this paper, we propose ACA-Net, a lightweight, global context-aware speaker embedding extractor for Speaker Verification (SV) that improves upon existing work by using Asymmetric Cross Attention (ACA) to replace temporal pooling. ACA is…
Noise reduction is an important part of modern hearing aids and is included in most commercially available devices. Deep learning-based state-of-the-art algorithms, however, either do not consider real-time and frequency resolution…
