We study two cases of acoustic source localization in a reverberant room, from a number of point-wise narrowband measurements. In the first case, the room is perfectly known. We show that using a sparse recovery algorithm with a dictionary…

Separation of simultaneously active multiple speakers is a difficult task in environments with strong reverberation and many background noise sources. This paper uses the relative transfer matrix (ReTM), a generalization of the relative…

Speech separation aims to separate individual voice from an audio mixture of multiple simultaneous talkers. Although audio-only approaches achieve satisfactory performance, they build on a strategy to handle the predefined conditions,…

Room compensation aims to improve the accuracy of loudspeaker reproduction in reverberant environments. Traditional methods, however, are limited to improving only spectral (timbral) and temporal accuracy, neglecting the spatial accuracy of…

In this paper, we present a novel multi-channel speech extraction system to simultaneously extract multiple clean individual sources from a mixture in noisy and reverberant environments. The proposed method is built on an improved…

The performance of audio source separation from underdetermined convolutive mixture assuming known mixing filters can be significantly improved by using an analysis sparse prior optimized by a reweighting l1 scheme and a wideband…

Speech separation with several speakers is a challenging task because of the non-stationarity of the speech and the strong signal similarity between interferent sources. Current state-of-the-art solutions can separate well the different…

Acoustic reverberation is one of the most relevant factors that hampers the localization of a sound source inside a room. To date, several approaches have been proposed to deal with it, but have not always been evaluated under realistic…

Late reverberation involves the superposition of many sound reflections resulting in a diffuse sound field. Since the spatially resolved perception of individual diffuse reflections is impossible, simplifications can potentially be made for…

Many speaker localization methods can be found in the literature. However, speaker localization under strong reverberation still remains a major challenge in the real-world applications. This paper proposes two algorithms for localizing…

This paper presents a robust multi-channel speaker extraction algorithm designed to handle inaccuracies in reference information. While existing approaches often rely solely on either spatial or spectral cues to identify the target speaker,…

Replay speech attacks pose a significant threat to voice-controlled systems, especially in smart environments where voice assistants are widely deployed. While multi-channel audio offers spatial cues that can enhance replay detection…

This article addresses the modeling of reverberant recording environments in the context of under-determined convolutive blind source separation. We model the contribution of each source to all mixture channels in the time-frequency domain…

Knowing the geometrical and acoustical parameters of a room may benefit applications such as audio augmented reality, speech dereverberation or audio forensics. In this paper, we study the problem of jointly estimating the total surface…

We consider the problem of simultaneous reduction of acoustic echo, reverberation and noise. In real scenarios, these distortion sources may occur simultaneously and reducing them implies combining the corresponding distortion-specific…

We introduce and analyze a novel approach to the problem of speaker identification in multi-party recorded meetings. Given a speech segment and a set of available candidate profiles, we propose a novel data-driven way to model the distance…

Informed speaker extraction aims to extract a target speech signal from a mixture of sources given prior knowledge about the desired speaker. Recent deep learning-based methods leverage a speaker discriminative model that maps a reference…

This paper introduces a new method for multi-channel time domain speech separation in reverberant environments. A fully-convolutional neural network structure has been used to directly separate speech from multiple microphone recordings,…

Compressive sensing (CS) exploits sparsity to recover sparse or compressible signals from dimensionality reducing, non-adaptive sensing mechanisms. Sparsity is also used to enhance interpretability in machine learning and statistics…

This paper proposes a method for extracting speaker embedding for each speaker from a variable-length recording containing multiple speakers. Speaker embeddings are crucial not only for speaker recognition but also for various multi-speaker…
