This paper introduces a curated dataset of urban scenes for audio-visual scene analysis which consists of carefully selected and recorded material. The data was recorded in multiple European cities, using the same equipment, in multiple…
We introduce AuriStream, a biologically inspired model for encoding speech via a two-stage framework inspired by the human auditory processing hierarchy. The first stage transforms raw audio into a time-frequency representation based on the…
In this paper we introduce a realistic and challenging, multi-source and multi-room acoustic environment and an improved algorithm for the estimation of source-dominated microphone clusters in acoustic sensor networks. Our proposed…
We propose a speech enhancement system for multitrack audio. The system will minimize auditory masking while allowing one to hear multiple simultaneous speakers. The system can be used in multiple communication scenarios e.g.,…
Most deep learning-based multi-channel speech enhancement methods focus on designing a set of beamforming coefficients to directly filter the low signal-to-noise ratio signals received by microphones, which hinders the performance of these…
This paper proposes a novel online audio-visual speaker extraction model. In the streaming regime, most studies optimize the audio network only, leaving the visual frontend less explored. We first propose a lightweight visual frontend based…
We consider speech enhancement for signals picked up in one noisy environment that must be rendered to a listener in another noisy environment. For both far-end noise reduction and near-end listening enhancement, it has been shown that…
Personalized speech enhancement has been a field of active research for suppression of speechlike interferers such as competing speakers or TV dialogues. Compared with single channel approaches, multichannel PSE systems can be more…
Computer-generated visualisations can accompany recorded or live music to create novel audiovisual experiences for audiences. We present a system to streamline the creation of audio-driven visualisations based on audio feature extraction…
Acoustic echo and background noise pose challenges on speech enhancement in hands-free systems and speakerphones. Discriminatively trained end-to-end methods represent a powerful solution for joint acoustic echo control (AEC) and denoising.…
Automatic meeting analysis is an essential fundamental technology required to let, e.g. smart devices follow and respond to our conversations. To achieve an optimal automatic meeting analysis, we previously proposed an all-neural approach…

Deep learning approaches have recently achieved impressive performance on both audio source separation and sound classification. Most audio source separation approaches focus only on separating sources belonging to a restricted domain of…
While our world is filled with its own natural sounds that we can't resist enjoying, it is also chock-full of other sounds that can be irritating, this is noise. Noise not only influences the working efficiency but also the human's health.…
Accurately interpreting cardiac auscultation signals plays a crucial role in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular diseases. However, the paucity of labelled data inhibits classification models' training. Researchers have turned to…
This paper introduces Conchordal, a bio-acoustic instrument for generative composition whose sonic agents are governed by artificial life dynamics within a psychoacoustic fitness landscape. The system is built on Direct Cognitive Coupling…
An utterance-level speaker embedding is typically obtained by aggregating a sequence of frame-level representations. However, in real-world scenarios, individual frames encode not only speaker-relevant information but also various nuisance…
Humans can robustly recognize and localize objects by using visual and/or auditory cues. While machines are able to do the same with visual data already, less work has been done with sounds. This work develops an approach for scene…
