We revisit the analysis of equalization-enhanced phase noise (EEPN) arising in coherent receivers from the interaction between the chromatic dispersion compensation by an electronic equalizer and the phase noise of the local oscillator.…
The widespread of powerful personal devices capable of collecting voice of their users has opened the opportunity to build speaker adapted speech recognition system (ASR) or to participate to collaborative learning of ASR. In both cases,…
Over 1.5 billion people worldwide live with hearing impairment. Despite various technologies that have been created for individuals with such disabilities, most of these technologies are either extremely expensive or inaccessible for…
Many audio processing tasks require perceptual assessment. The ``gold standard`` of obtaining human judgments is time-consuming, expensive, and cannot be used as an optimization criterion. On the other hand, automated metrics are efficient…
Acoustic emission before the failure of heterogeneous materials is studied as a function of applied hydrostatic pressure. A formula for the energy release is suggested, which is valid in the whole diapason of pressures, from zero to the…
This paper reports on the design and outcomes of the ICASSP SP Clarity Challenge: Speech Enhancement for Hearing Aids. The scenario was a listener attending to a target speaker in a noisy, domestic environment. There were multiple…
A learning path is proposed starting from the characterization of a sound wave, showing how human beings emit articulate sounds in the language, introducing psychoacoustics, i.e. how the sound interacts with ears and it is transduced into…
General-purpose embedding is highly desirable for few-shot even zero-shot learning in many application scenarios, including audio tasks. In order to understand representations better, we conducted a thorough error analysis and visualization…
Cross-speaker emotion transfer speech synthesis aims to synthesize emotional speech for a target speaker by transferring the emotion from reference speech recorded by another (source) speaker. In this task, extracting speaker-independent…
A new method has been developed to adjust volume automatically on all audio devices equipped with at least one microphone, including mobile phones, personal media players, headsets, and car radios, that might be used in noisy environments,…
Conventional audio coding technologies commonly leverage human perception of sound, or psychoacoustics, to reduce the bitrate while preserving the perceptual quality of the decoded audio signals. For neural audio codecs, however, the…
Studies involving soundscape perception often exclude participants with hearing loss to prevent impaired perception from affecting experimental results. Participants are typically screened with pure tone audiometry, the "gold standard" for…
Sound processing in the human auditory system is complex and highly non-linear, whereas hearing aids (HAs) still rely on simplified descriptions of auditory processing or hearing loss to restore hearing. Even though standard HA…
State-of-the-art speaker diarization systems utilize knowledge from external data, in the form of a pre-trained distance metric, to effectively determine relative speaker identities to unseen data. However, much of recent focus has been on…
People suffering from hearing impairment often have difficulties participating in conversations in so-called `cocktail party' scenarios with multiple people talking simultaneously. Although advanced algorithms exist to suppress background…
Channel equalization is the process of reducing amplitude, frequency and phase distortion in a radio channel with the intent of improving transmission performance. Different types of equalizers, their applications and some practical example…
Speech Quality Assessment (SQA) and Continuous Speech Emotion Recognition (CSER) are two key tasks in speech technology, both relying on listener ratings. However, these ratings are inherently biased due to individual listener factors.…
Visual to auditory sensory substitution devices convert visual information into sound and can provide valuable assistance for blind people. Recent iterations of these devices rely on depth sensors. Rules for converting depth into sound…
Generally audio news broadcast on radio is com- posed of music, commercials, news from correspondents and recorded statements in addition to the actual news read by the newsreader. When news transcripts are available, automatic segmentation…
'Style transfer' among images has recently emerged as a very active research topic, fuelled by the power of convolution neural networks (CNNs), and has become fast a very popular technology in social media. This paper investigates the…
