Cochlear implant (CI) users have considerable difficulty in understanding speech in reverberant listening environments. Time-frequency (T-F) masking is a common technique that aims to improve speech intelligibility by multiplying…
While extracting the temporal dynamical features based on the time-frequency analyses, like the reassignment and synchrosqueezing transform, attracts more and more interest in bio-medical data analysis, we should be careful about artifacts…
In this paper, we address a novel image restoration problem relevant to machine learning dataset curation: the detection and removal of noisy mirrored padding artifacts. While data augmentation techniques like padding are necessary for…
The reverberation time is one of the most important parameters used to characterize the acoustic property of an enclosure. In real-world scenarios, it is much more convenient to estimate the reverberation time blindly from recorded speech…
Almost all known image reconstruction algorithms for photoacoustic and thermoacoustic tomography assume that the acoustic waves leave the region of interest after a finite time. This assumption is reasonable if the reflections from the…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR) plays a pivotal role in our daily lives, offering utility not only for interacting with machines but also for facilitating communication for individuals with partial or profound hearing impairments. The…
Ultrasound image quality has continually been improving. However, when needles or other metallic objects are operating inside the tissue, the resulting reverberation artifacts can severely corrupt the surrounding image quality. Such effects…
Spoofed utterances always contain artifacts introduced by generative models. While several countermeasures have been proposed to detect spoofed utterances, most primarily focus on architectural improvements. In this work, we investigate how…
Off-resonance artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are visual distortions that occur when the actual resonant frequencies of spins within the imaging volume differ from the expected frequencies used to encode spatial information.…
This letter proposes a new time domain absorption approach designed to reduce masking components of speech signals under noisy-reverberant conditions. In this method, the non-stationarity of corrupted signal segments is used to detect…
Deepfake speech attribution remains challenging for existing solutions. Classifier-based solutions often fail to generalize to domain-shifted samples, and watermarking-based solutions are easily compromised by distortions like codec…
The high-intensity, repetitive noise associated with functional magnetic resonance imaging hinders on-line monitoring of subjects' speech and/or recording speech signals suitable for off-line analysis. The proposed algorithm enhances the…
Singing voice separation based on deep learning relies on the usage of time-frequency masking. In many cases the masking process is not a learnable function or is not encapsulated into the deep learning optimization. Consequently, most of…
Algorithm unrolling methods have proven powerful for solving the regularized least squares problem in computational magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These approaches unfold an iterative algorithm with a fixed number of iterations,…
Ear occlusions (arising from the presence of ear accessories such as earrings and earphones) can negatively impact performance in ear-based biometric recognition systems, especially in unconstrained imaging circumstances. In this study, we…
Speech enhancement attenuates interfering sounds in speech signals but may introduce artifacts that perceivably deteriorate the output signal. We propose a method for controlling the trade-off between the attenuation of the interfering…
We investigate the retrieval of a binary time-frequency mask from a few observations of filtered white ambient noise. Confirming household wisdom in acoustic modeling, we show that this is possible by inspecting the average spectrogram of…
Data recordings are often corrupted by noise, and it can be difficult to isolate clean data of interest. For example, mobile electroencephalography is commonly corrupted by motion artifact, which limits its use in real-world settings. Here,…
The optimization of a wavelet-based algorithm to improve speech intelligibility along with the full data set and results are reported. The discrete-time speech signal is split into frequency sub-bands via a multi-level discrete wavelet…
The advance of technology for transmitting Data-over-Sound in various IoT and telecommunication applications has led to the concept of machine-to-machine over-the-air acoustic signalling. Reverberation can have a detrimental effect on such…
