Audio-Visual Speech Recognition (AVSR) uses lip-based video to improve performance in noise. Since videos are harder to obtain than audio, the video training data of AVSR models is usually limited to a few thousand hours. In contrast,…
Data availability is essential in the development of acoustic signal processing algorithms, especially when it comes to data-driven approaches that demand large and diverse training datasets. For this reason, an increasing number of…
For audio in augmented reality (AR), knowledge of the users' real acoustic environment is crucial for rendering virtual sounds that seamlessly blend into the environment. As acoustic measurements are usually not feasible in practical AR…
This paper describes an audio-visual speech enhancement (AV-SE) method that estimates from noisy input audio a mixture of the speech of the speaker appearing in an input video (on-screen target speech) and of a selected speaker not…
Vision-language models (VLMs) have shown strong performance on text-to-image retrieval benchmarks. However, bridging this success to real-world applications remains a challenge. In practice, human search behavior is rarely a one-shot…
Despite decades of research on reverberant speech, comparing methods remains difficult because most corpora lack per-file acoustic annotations or provide limited documentation for reproduction. We present RIR-Mega-Speech, a corpus of…
Speech audio quality is subject to degradation caused by an acoustic environment and isotropic ambient and point noises. The environment can lead to decreased speech intelligibility and loss of focus and attention by the listener. Basic…
Reverberation conveys critical acoustic cues about the environment, supporting spatial awareness and immersion. For auditory augmented reality (AAR) systems, generating perceptually plausible reverberation in real time remains a key…
