In room acoustic environments, the Relative Transfer Functions (RTFs) are controlled by few underlying modes of variability. Accordingly, they are confined to a low-dimensional manifold. In this letter, we investigate a RTF inverse…

Reconstructing the room transfer functions needed to calculate the complex sound field in a room has several important real-world applications. However, an unpractical number of microphones is often required. Recently, in addition to…

In hearing aid applications, an important objective is to accurately estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of multiple speakers in noisy and reverberant environments. Recently, we proposed a binaural DOA estimation method, where the DOAs…

In this paper we consider a binaural hearing aid setup, where in addition to the head-mounted microphones an external microphone is available. For this setup, we investigate the performance of several relative transfer function (RTF) vector…

Dereverberation of a moving speech source in the presence of other directional interferers, is a harder problem than that of stationary source and interference cancellation. We explore joint multi channel linear prediction (MCLP) and…

Personalized Head-Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) are starting to be introduced in many commercial immersive audio applications and are crucial for realistic spatial audio rendering. However, one of the main hesitations regarding their…

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…

This paper presents a simulation-based approach to own voice detection (OVD) in hearing aids using a single microphone. While OVD can significantly improve user comfort and speech intelligibility, existing solutions often rely on multiple…

The head-related transfer function (HRTF) characterizes the frequency response of the sound traveling path between a specific location and the ear. When it comes to estimating HRTFs by neural network models, angle-specific models greatly…

Most speech enhancement algorithms make use of the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), which is a simple and flexible time-frequency decomposition that estimates the short-time spectrum of a signal. However, the duration of short STFT…

Personalized head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are essential for ensuring a realistic auditory experience over headphones, because they take into account individual anatomical differences that affect listening. Most machine learning…

Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTFs) play a crucial role in creating immersive spatial audio experiences. However, HRTFs differ significantly from person to person, and traditional methods for estimating personalized HRTFs are expensive,…

Head-related transfer functions (HRTFs) are a set of functions describing the spatial filtering effect of the outer ear (i.e., torso, head, and pinnae) onto sound sources at different azimuth and elevation angles. They are widely used in…

A learning-based method for estimating the magnitude distribution of sound fields from spatially sparse measurements is proposed. Estimating the magnitude distribution of acoustic transfer function (ATF) is useful when phase measurements…

This paper presents a Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF)-guided framework for binaural Target Speaker Extraction (TSE) from mixtures of concurrent sources. Unlike conventional TSE methods based on Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation or…

We present a head-related transfer function (HRTF) estimation method which relies on a data-driven prior given by a score-based diffusion model. The HRTF is estimated in reverberant environments using natural excitation signals, e.g. human…

Despite the maturity of modern speaker verification technology, its performance still significantly degrades when facing non-neutrally-phonated (e.g., shouted and whispered) speech. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a new…

A Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) characterizes how a human ear receives sounds from a point in space, and depends on the shapes of one's head, pinna, and torso. Accurate estimations of HRTFs for human subjects are crucial in enabling…
