Speech emotion recognition (SER) often experiences reduced performance due to background noise. In addition, making a prediction on signals with only background noise could undermine user trust in the system. In this study, we propose a…

Traditional Active Noise Control (ANC) systems are mostly based on FxLMS algorithms, but such algorithms rely on linear assumptions and are often limited in handling broadband non-stationary noise or nonlinear acoustic paths. Not only that,…

We study the problem of stereo singing voice cancellation, a subtask of music source separation, whose goal is to estimate an instrumental background from a stereo mix. We explore how to achieve performance similar to large state-of-the-art…

In response to the increasing interest in human--machine communication across various domains, this paper introduces a novel approach called iPhonMatchNet, which addresses the challenge of barge-in scenarios, wherein user speech overlaps…

Form about four decades human beings have been dreaming of an intelligent machine which can master the natural speech. In its simplest form, this machine should consist of two subsystems, namely automatic speech recognition (ASR) and speech…

This paper presents an end-to-end model designed to improve automatic speech recognition (ASR) for a particular speaker in a crowded, noisy environment. The model utilizes a single-channel speech enhancement module that isolates the…

Forgetting presents a significant challenge during incremental training, making it particularly demanding for contemporary AI systems to assimilate new knowledge in streaming data environments. To address this issue, most approaches in…

In realistic environments, speech is usually interfered by various noise and reverberation, which dramatically degrades the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. To alleviate this issue, the commonest way is to use a…

In low-visibility marine environments characterized by turbidity and darkness, acoustic cameras serve as visual sensors capable of generating high-resolution 2D sonar images. However, acoustic camera images are interfered with by complex…

Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is poised to be a native technology for the forthcoming Sixth Generation (6G) era, with an emphasis on its potential to enhance communications performance through the integration of sensing…

The Kalman filter has been adopted in acoustic echo cancellation due to its robustness to double-talk, fast convergence, and good steady-state performance. The performance of Kalman filter is closely related to the estimation accuracy of…

Noise suppression (NS) algorithms are effective in improving speech quality in many cases. However, aggressive noise suppression can damage the target speech, reducing both speech intelligibility and quality despite removing the noise. This…

End-to-end models for robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) have not been sufficiently well-explored in prior work. With end-to-end models, one could choose to preprocess the input speech using speech enhancement techniques and train…

Acquired images for medical and other purposes can be affected by noise from both the equipment used in the capturing or the environment. This can have adverse effect on the information therein. Thus, the need to restore the image to its…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) plays a pivotal role in our daily lives, offering utility not only for interacting with machines but also for facilitating communication for individuals with partial or profound hearing impairments. The…

The performance of voice-controlled systems is usually influenced by accented speech. To make these systems more robust, the frontend accent recognition (AR) technologies have received increased attention in recent years. As accent is a…

The efficacy of active noise control technology in mitigating urban noise, particularly in relation to low-frequency components, has been well-established. In the realm of traditional academic research, adaptive algorithms, such as the…

Traditionally, in Audio Recognition pipeline, noise is suppressed by the "frontend", relying on preprocessing techniques such as speech enhancement. However, it is not guaranteed that noise will not cascade into downstream pipelines. To…

The state-of-art models for speech synthesis and voice conversion are capable of generating synthetic speech that is perceptually indistinguishable from bonafide human speech. These methods represent a threat to the automatic speaker…

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems degrade significantly under noisy conditions. Recently, speech enhancement (SE) is introduced as front-end to reduce noise for ASR, but it also suppresses some important speech information, i.e.,…
