In a multi-speaker "cocktail party" scenario, a listener can selectively attend to a speaker of interest. Studies into the human auditory attention network demonstrate cortical entrainment to speech envelopes resulting in highly correlated…
This paper describes a spatial-aware speaker diarization system for the multi-channel multi-party meeting. The diarization system obtains direction information of speaker by microphone array. Speaker spatial embedding is generated by…
Auditory attention decoding (AAD) is a technique used to identify and amplify the talker that a listener is focused on in a noisy environment. This is done by comparing the listener's brainwaves to a representation of all the sound sources…
Recently end-to-end neural audio/speech coding has shown its great potential to outperform traditional signal analysis based audio codecs. This is mostly achieved by following the VQ-VAE paradigm where blind features are learned,…
