This paper introduces our approaches for the Mask and Breathing Sub-Challenge in the Interspeech COMPARE Challenge 2020. For the mask detection task, we train deep convolutional neural networks with filter-bank energies, gender-aware…

In many fields of research, labeled datasets are hard to acquire. This is where data augmentation promises to overcome the lack of training data in the context of neural network engineering and classification tasks. The idea here is to…

In this paper, we address the problem of face recognition with masks. Given the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, mouth and nose-covering masks have become an essential everyday-clothing-accessory. This sanitary measure has put the…

The absence of large-scale masked face datasets challenges masked face detection and recognition. We propose a two-step generative data augmentation framework combining rule-based mask warping with unpaired image-to-image translation via…

The utilization of face masks is an essential healthcare measure, particularly during times of pandemics, yet it can present challenges in communication in our daily lives. To address this problem, we propose a novel approach known as the…

In the absence of vaccines or medicines to stop COVID-19, one of the effective methods to slow the spread of the coronavirus and reduce the overloading of healthcare is to wear a face mask. Nevertheless, to mandate the use of face masks or…

The understanding and interpretation of speech can be affected by various external factors. The use of face masks is one such factors that can create obstruction to speech while communicating. This may lead to degradation of speech…

Whisper to normal speech conversion is an active area of research. Various architectures based on generative adversarial networks have been proposed in the recent past. Especially, recent study shows that MaskCycleGAN, which is a mask…

The face expression is the first thing we pay attention to when we want to understand a person's state of mind. Thus, the ability to recognize facial expressions in an automatic way is a very interesting research field. In this paper,…

Recently, deep neural network (DNN) based time-frequency (T-F) mask estimation has shown remarkable effectiveness for speech enhancement. Typically, a single T-F mask is first estimated based on DNN and then used to mask the spectrogram of…

Deepfake speech detection presents a growing challenge as generative audio technologies continue to advance. We propose a hybrid training framework that advances detection performance through novel augmentation strategies. First, we…

Challenges based on Computational Paralinguistics in the INTERSPEECH Conference have always had a good reception among the attendees owing to its competitive academic and research demands. This year, the INTERSPEECH 2020 Computational…

Successful training of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) requires a substantial amount of data. With small datasets networks generalize poorly. Data Augmentation techniques improve the generalizability of neural networks by using…

Skin lesion segmentation is a vital task in skin cancer diagnosis and further treatment. Although deep learning based approaches have significantly improved the segmentation accuracy, these algorithms are still reliant on having a large…

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended wearing face masks as one of the most effective measures to prevent COVID-19 transmission. In many countries, it is now mandatory to wear face masks, specially in public places. Since…

Identifying human emotions using AI-based computer vision systems, when individuals wear face masks, presents a new challenge in the current Covid-19 pandemic. In this study, we propose a facial emotion recognition system capable of…

The classification of acoustic environments allows for machines to better understand the auditory world around them. The use of deep learning in order to teach machines to discriminate between different rooms is a new area of research.…

The speech enhancement task usually consists of removing additive noise or reverberation that partially mask spoken utterances, affecting their intelligibility. However, little attention is drawn to other, perhaps more aggressive signal…

Using neural network based acoustic frontends for improving robustness of streaming automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems is challenging because of the causality constraints and the resulting distortion that the frontend processing…

Supervised speech enhancement methods have been very successful. However, in practical scenarios, there is a lack of clean speech, and self-supervised learning-based (SSL) speech enhancement methods that offer comparable enhancement…
