Contextual memory integration remains a high challenge in the development of language models, particularly in tasks that require maintaining coherence over extended sequences. Traditional approaches, such as self-attention mechanisms and…

This paper describes the practical response- and performance-aware development of online speech enhancement for an augmented reality (AR) headset that helps a user understand conversations made in real noisy echoic environments (e.g.,…

Frame-online speech enhancement systems in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain usually have an algorithmic latency equal to the window size due to the use of overlap-add in the inverse STFT (iSTFT). This algorithmic latency…

Conversational speech, while being unstructured at an utterance level, typically has a macro topic which provides larger context spanning multiple utterances. The current language models in speech recognition systems using recurrent neural…

The use of future contextual information is typically shown to be helpful for acoustic modeling. However, for the recurrent neural network (RNN), it's not so easy to model the future temporal context effectively, meanwhile keep lower model…

The estimation of reverberation time from real-world signals plays a central role in a wide range of applications. In many scenarios, acoustic conditions change over time which in turn requires the estimate to be updated continuously.…
