Binaural audio delivers spatial cues essential for immersion, yet most consumer videos are monaural due to capture constraints. We introduce SIREN, a visually guided mono to binaural framework that explicitly predicts left and right…
Speaker localization for binaural microphone arrays has been widely studied for applications such as speech communication, video conferencing, and robot audition. Many methods developed for this task, including the direct path dominance…
Audiovisual representation learning typically relies on the correspondence between sight and sound. However, there are often multiple audio tracks that can correspond with a visual scene. Consider, for example, different conversations on…
Non-interactive and linear experiences like cinema film offer high quality surround sound audio to enhance immersion, however the listener's experience is usually fixed to a single acoustic perspective. With the rise of virtual reality,…
In the last few years, steganography has attracted increasing attention from a large number of researchers since its applications are expanding further than just the field of information security. The most traditional method is based on…
Cochlear implants(CIs) are arguably the most successful neural implant, having restored hearing to over one million people worldwide. While CI research has focused on modeling the cochlear activations in response to low-level acoustic…
This article presents a review of typical techniques used in three distinct aspects of deep learning model development for audio generation. In the first part of the article, we provide an explanation of audio representations, beginning…
Many hearables contain an in-ear microphone, which may be used to capture the own voice of its user in noisy environments. Since the in-ear microphone mostly records body-conducted speech due to ear canal occlusion, it suffers from…
This paper proposes a framework of explaining anomalous machine sounds in the context of anomalous sound detection~(ASD). While ASD has been extensively explored, identifying how anomalous sounds differ from normal sounds is also beneficial…
Only a few studies have been reported regarding human ear recognition in long wave infrared band. Thus, we have created ear database based on long wave infrared band. We have called that the database is long wave infrared band MIDAS…
Auditory display is concerned with the use of non-speech sound to communicate information. If the term seems at first oxymoronic, then consider auditory display as an activity of perceptualization, that is, the process of making perceptible…
The neural mechanisms underlying the comprehension of meaningful sounds are yet to be fully understood. While previous research has shown that the auditory cortex can classify auditory stimuli into distinct semantic categories, the specific…
Humans are highly dependent on the ability to process audio in order to interact through conversation and navigate from sound. For this, the shape of the ear acts as a mechanical audio filter. The anatomy of the outer human ear canal to…
Binaural audio generation (BAG) aims to convert monaural audio to stereo audio using visual prompts, requiring a deep understanding of spatial and semantic information. However, current models risk overfitting to room environments and lose…
Text-to-audio (TTA) systems have recently demonstrated strong performance in synthesizing monaural audio from text. However, the task of generating binaural spatial audio from text, which provides a more immersive auditory experience by…
We investigated the relationship among neural representations of vocalized, mimed, and imagined speech recorded using publicly available stereotactic EEG recordings. Most prior studies have focused on decoding speech responses within each…
Human identification has always been a topic that interested researchers around the world. Biometric methods are found to be more effective and much easier for the users than the traditional identification methods like keys, smart cards and…
Advanced auditory models are useful in designing signal-processing algorithms for hearing-loss compensation or speech enhancement. Such auditory models provide rich and detailed descriptions of the auditory pathway, and might allow for…
Current assistive hearing devices, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, lack the ability to adapt to the listener's focus of auditory attention, limiting their effectiveness in complex acoustic environments like cocktail party…
Acoustic identification of individual animals (AIID) is closely related to audio-based species classification but requires a finer level of detail to distinguish between individual animals within the same species. In this work, we frame…
