To improve speaker verification in real scenarios with interference speakers, noise, and reverberation, we propose to bring together advancements made in multi-channel speech features. Specifically, we combine spectral, spatial, and…

The performance of speech enhancement and separation systems in anechoic environments has been significantly advanced with the recent progress in end-to-end neural network architectures. However, the performance of such systems in…

Diffusion models have been shown to achieve natural-sounding enhancement of speech degraded by noise or reverberation. However, their simultaneous denoising and dereverberation capability has so far not been studied much, although this is…

This paper presents a new voice conversion (VC) framework capable of dealing with both additive noise and reverberation, and its performance evaluation. There have been studied some VC researches focusing on real-world circumstances where…

The objective of this work is to train noise-robust speaker embeddings adapted for speaker diarisation. Speaker embeddings play a crucial role in the performance of diarisation systems, but they often capture spurious information such as…

Despite the recent success of deep learning for many speech processing tasks, single-microphone, speaker-independent speech separation remains challenging for two main reasons. The first reason is the arbitrary order of the target and…

In this work, we tackle a denoising and dereverberation problem with a single-stage framework. Although denoising and dereverberation may be considered two separate challenging tasks, and thus, two modules are typically required for each…

Most deep learning-based multi-channel speech enhancement methods focus on designing a set of beamforming coefficients to directly filter the low signal-to-noise ratio signals received by microphones, which hinders the performance of these…

Removing reverb from reverberant music is a necessary technique to clean up audio for downstream music manipulations. Reverberation of music contains two categories, natural reverb, and artificial reverb. Artificial reverb has a wider…

Separating different speaker properties from a multi-speaker environment is challenging. Instead of separating a two-speaker signal in signal space like speech source separation, a speaker embedding de-mixing approach is proposed. The…

In this paper, we propose a two-step training procedure for source separation via a deep neural network. In the first step we learn a transform (and it's inverse) to a latent space where masking-based separation performance using oracles is…

The deployment of machine listening algorithms in real-life applications is often impeded by a domain shift caused for instance by different microphone characteristics. In this paper, we propose a novel domain adaptation strategy based on…

We investigate the effectiveness of convolutive prediction, a novel formulation of linear prediction for speech dereverberation, for speaker separation in reverberant conditions. The key idea is to first use a deep neural network (DNN) to…

Speech separation is a fundamental task in audio processing, typically addressed with fully supervised systems trained on paired mixtures. While effective, such systems typically rely on synthetic data pipelines, which may not reflect…

We show how to construct a channel-independent representation of speech that has propagated through a noisy reverberant channel. This is done by blindly rescaling the cepstral time series by a non-linear function, with the form of this…

Phase aberration is one of the primary sources of image quality degradation in ultrasound, which is induced by spatial variations in sound speed across the heterogeneous medium. This effect disrupts transmitted waves and prevents coherent…

Conversation disentanglement aims to group utterances into detached sessions, which is a fundamental task in processing multi-party conversations. Existing methods have two main drawbacks. First, they overemphasize pairwise utterance…

The paper introduces Diff-Filter, a multichannel speech enhancement approach based on the diffusion probabilistic model, for improving speaker verification performance under noisy and reverberant conditions. It also presents a new two-step…

With the advent of the 5th generation of wireless standards and an increasing demand for higher throughput, methods to improve the spectral efficiency of wireless systems have become very important. In the context of cognitive radio, a…

Diffusion models have shown promising results in speech enhancement, using a task-adapted diffusion process for the conditional generation of clean speech given a noisy mixture. However, at test time, the neural network used for score…
