Noisy situations cause huge problems for suffers of hearing loss as hearing aids often make the signal more audible but do not always restore the intelligibility. In noisy settings, humans routinely exploit the audio-visual (AV) nature of…
Extracting the speech of participants in a conversation amidst interfering speakers and noise presents a challenging problem. In this paper, we introduce the novel task of target conversation extraction, where the goal is to extract the…
Audio-Visual Target Speaker Extraction (AVTSE) aims to separate a target speaker's voice from a mixed audio signal using the corresponding visual cues. While most existing AVTSE methods rely exclusively on frontal-view videos, this…
The speaker extraction technique seeks to single out the voice of a target speaker from the interfering voices in a speech mixture. Typically an auxiliary reference of the target speaker is used to form voluntary attention. Either a…
The remarkable ability of humans to selectively focus on a target speaker in cocktail party scenarios is facilitated by binaural audio processing. In this paper, we present a binaural time-domain Target Speaker Extraction model based on the…
Image retrieval using spoken language cues has emerged as a promising direction in multimodal perception, yet leveraging speech in multi-speaker scenarios remains challenging. We propose a novel Target Speaker Speech-Image Retrieval task…

The brain-assisted target speaker extraction (TSE) aims to extract the attended speech from mixed speech by utilizing the brain neural activities, for example Electroencephalography (EEG). However, existing models overlook the issue of…
Voice Type Discrimination (VTD) refers to discrimination between regions in a recording where speech was produced by speakers that are physically within proximity of the recording device ("Live Speech") from speech and other types of audio…
Recent studies have demonstrated that incorporating auxiliary information, such as speaker voiceprint or visual cues, can substantially improve Speech Enhancement (SE) performance. However, single-channel methods often yield suboptimal…
Developing a robust speech emotion recognition (SER) system in noisy conditions faces challenges posed by different noise properties. Most previous studies have not considered the impact of human speech noise, thus limiting the application…
Audio-visual navigation enables embodied agents to navigate toward sound-emitting targets by leveraging both auditory and visual cues. However, most existing approaches rely on precomputed room impulse responses (RIRs) for binaural audio…
