Auditory perception involves cues in the monaural auditory pathways as well as binaural cues based on differences between the ears. So far auditory models have often focused on either monaural or binaural experiments in isolation. Although…
Representing speech and audio signals in discrete units has become a compelling alternative to traditional high-dimensional feature vectors. Numerous studies have highlighted the efficacy of discrete units in various applications such as…
In the last few years,Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have progressed as an emerging research area in the fields of human-computer interaction and interactive systems.This is primarily due to the introduction of low-cost…
In this paper, we propose a novel separation system for extracting two speech signals from two microphone recordings. Our system combines the blind source separation technique with cepstral smoothing of binary time-frequency masks. The last…
Single-channel speech enhancement is utilized in various tasks to mitigate the effect of interfering signals. Conventionally, to ensure the speech enhancement performs optimally, the speech enhancement has needed to be tuned for each task.…
While the use of deep neural networks has significantly boosted speaker recognition performance, it is still challenging to separate speakers in poor acoustic environments. Here speech enhancement methods have traditionally allowed improved…
This review summarises the status of silent speech interface (SSI) research. SSIs rely on non-acoustic biosignals generated by the human body during speech production to enable communication whenever normal verbal communication is not…
Cochlear implants (CIs) play a vital role in restoring hearing for individuals with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss by directly stimulating the auditory nerve with electrical signals. While traditional coding strategies, such…
Goal: Numerous studies had successfully differentiated normal and abnormal voice samples. Nevertheless, further classification had rarely been attempted. This study proposes a novel approach, using continuous Mandarin speech instead of a…
Monaural speech enhancement has achieved remarkable progress recently. However, its performance has been constrained by the limited spatial cues available at a single microphone. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a strategy to map…
Hearing aids are expected to improve speech intelligibility for listeners with hearing impairment. An appropriate amplification fitting tuned for the listener's hearing disability is critical for good performance. The developments of most…
In this study, we present an approach to train a single speech enhancement network that can perform both personalized and non-personalized speech enhancement. This is achieved by incorporating a frame-wise conditioning input that specifies…
The decoding of brain signals recorded via, e.g., an electroencephalogram, using machine learning is key to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Stimulation parameters or other experimental settings of the BCI protocol typically are chosen…
Far-field speech recognition is a challenging task that conventionally uses signal processing beamforming to attack noise and interference problem. But the performance has been found usually limited due to heavy reliance on environmental…
Distortion of the underlying speech is a common problem for single-channel speech enhancement algorithms, and hinders such methods from being used more extensively. A dictionary based speech enhancement method that emphasizes preserving the…
The key advantage of using multiple microphones for speech enhancement is that spatial filtering can be used to complement the tempo-spectral processing. In a traditional setting, linear spatial filtering (beamforming) and single-channel…
Target Speech Extraction (TSE) aims to isolate a target speaker's voice from a mixture of multiple speakers by leveraging speaker-specific cues, typically provided as auxiliary audio (a.k.a. cue audio). Although recent advancements in TSE…
The human auditory system has the ability to selectively focus on key speech elements in an audio stream while giving secondary attention to less relevant areas such as noise or distortion within the background, dynamically adjusting its…
Speech intelligibility is often severely degraded among hearing impaired individuals in situations such as the cocktail party scenario. The performance of the current hearing aid technology has been observed to be limited in these…
Electrical hearing by cochlear implants (CIs) may be fundamentally different from acoustic hearing by normal-hearing (NH) listeners, presumably showing unequal speech quality perception in various noise environments. Noise reduction (NR)…
