Signal-dependent beamformers are advantageous over signal-independent beamformers when the acoustic scenario - be it real-world or simulated - is straightforward in terms of the number of sound sources, the ambient sound field and their…
In this paper, we introduce spatial attention for refining the information in multi-direction neural beamformer for far-field automatic speech recognition. Previous approaches of neural beamformers with multiple look directions, such as the…
In this paper, we propose Universal Holistic Audio Generation (UniHAGen), a task for synthesizing comprehensive auditory scenes that include both on-screen and off-screen sounds across diverse domains (e.g., ambient events, musical…
Moving around in the world is naturally a multisensory experience, but today's embodied agents are deaf---restricted to solely their visual perception of the environment. We introduce audio-visual navigation for complex, acoustically and…
Spatial audio is an essential medium to audiences for 3D visual and auditory experience. However, the recording devices and techniques are expensive or inaccessible to the general public. In this work, we propose a self-supervised audio…
As we interact with the world, for example when we communicate with our colleagues in a large open space or meeting room, we continuously analyse the surrounding environment and, in particular, localise and recognise acoustic events. While…
Selective fixed-filter active noise control (SFANC) is a novel approach capable of mitigating noise with varying frequency characteristics. It offers faster response and greater computational efficiency compared to traditional adaptive…
Query-based audio source extraction seeks to recover a target source from a mixture conditioned on a query. Existing approaches are largely confined to single-channel audio, leaving the spatial information in multi-channel recordings…

Audio super-resolution aims to recover missing high-frequency details from bandwidth-limited low-resolution audio, thereby improving the naturalness and perceptual quality of the reconstructed signal. However, most existing methods directly…
Human perceives rich auditory experience with distinct sound heard by ears. Videos recorded with binaural audio particular simulate how human receives ambient sound. However, a large number of videos are with monaural audio only, which…
Video salient object detection (VSOD), as a fundamental computer vision problem, has been extensively discussed in the last decade. However, all existing works focus on addressing the VSOD problem in 2D scenarios. With the rapid development…
An immersive acoustic experience enabled by spatial audio is just as crucial as the visual aspect in creating realistic virtual environments. However, existing methods for room impulse response estimation rely either on data-demanding…
Recently, deep representation learning has shown strong performance in multiple audio tasks. However, its use for learning spatial representations from multichannel audio is underexplored. We investigate the use of a pretraining stage based…
