Reverberation not only degrades the quality of speech for human perception, but also severely impacts the accuracy of automatic speech recognition. Prior work attempts to remove reverberation based on the audio modality only. Our idea is to…
Audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) is a task that uses visual auxiliary information to extract a target speaker's speech from mixed audio. In real-world scenarios, there often exist complex acoustic environments, accompanied by various…

Accurate recognition of cocktail party speech containing overlapping speakers, noise and reverberation remains a highly challenging task to date. Motivated by the invariance of visual modality to acoustic signal corruption, an audio-visual…
Visual acoustic matching (VAM) is pivotal for enhancing the immersive experience, and the task of dereverberation is effective in improving audio intelligibility. Existing methods treat each task independently, overlooking the inherent…
We introduce a new approach for audio-visual speech separation. Given a video, the goal is to extract the speech associated with a face in spite of simultaneous background sounds and/or other human speakers. Whereas existing methods focus…
AV-HuBERT, a multi-modal self-supervised learning model, has been shown to be effective for categorical problems such as automatic speech recognition and lip-reading. This suggests that useful audio-visual speech representations can be…
This report describes our systems submitted for the DCASE2024 Task 3 challenge: Audio and Audiovisual Sound Event Localization and Detection with Source Distance Estimation (Track B). Our main model is based on the audio-visual (AV)…
Humans have the ability to utilize visual cues, such as lip movements and visual scenes, to enhance auditory perception, particularly in noisy environments. However, current Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) or Audio-Visual Speech…
Audio-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) degrades significantly in noisy environments and is particularly vulnerable to interfering speech, as the model cannot determine which speaker to transcribe. Audio-visual speech recognition…
Vocal dereverberation remains a challenging task in audio processing, particularly for real-time applications where both accuracy and efficiency are crucial. Traditional deep learning approaches often struggle to suppress reverberation…
The objective of this work is to extract target speaker's voice from a mixture of voices using visual cues. Existing works on audio-visual speech separation have demonstrated their performance with promising intelligibility, but maintaining…
This paper introduces a new training strategy to improve speech dereverberation systems using minimal acoustic information and reverberant (wet) speech. Most existing algorithms rely on paired dry/wet data, which is difficult to obtain, or…
Audio and visual modalities are inherently connected in speech signals: lip movements and facial expressions are correlated with speech sounds. This motivates studies that incorporate the visual modality to enhance an acoustic speech signal…
Removing reverb from reverberant music is a necessary technique to clean up audio for downstream music manipulations. Reverberation of music contains two categories, natural reverb, and artificial reverb. Artificial reverb has a wider…
Unlike traditional visual segmentation, audio-visual segmentation (AVS) requires the model not only to identify and segment objects but also to determine whether they are sound sources. Recent AVS approaches, leveraging transformer…
Audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) incorporates auditory and visual modalities to improve recognition accuracy, particularly in noisy environments where audio-only speech systems are insufficient. While previous research has largely…
Dereverberation is often performed directly on the reverberant audio signal, without knowledge of the acoustic environment. Reverberation time, T60, however, is an essential acoustic factor that reflects how reverberation may impact a…
Background noise, interfering speech and room reverberation frequently distort target speech in real listening environments. In this study, we address joint speech separation and dereverberation, which aims to separate target speech from…
