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…

Recently, deep representation learning has shown strong performance in multiple audio tasks. However, its use for learning spatial representations from multichannel audio is underexplored. We investigate the use of a pretraining stage based…

High-fidelity multi-singer singing voice synthesis is challenging for neural vocoder due to the singing voice data shortage, limited singer generalization, and large computational cost. Existing open corpora could not meet requirements for…

Automatic speaker recognition algorithms typically use pre-defined filterbanks, such as Mel-Frequency and Gammatone filterbanks, for characterizing speech audio. However, it has been observed that the features extracted using these…

Variational auto-encoders (VAEs) are deep generative latent variable models that can be used for learning the distribution of complex data. VAEs have been successfully used to learn a probabilistic prior over speech signals, which is then…

Deep neural networks have achieved impressive supervised classification performance in many tasks including image recognition, speech recognition, and sequence to sequence learning. However, this success has not been translated to…

We propose an algorithm that is capable of synthesizing high quality target speaker's singing voice given only their normal speech samples. The proposed algorithm first integrate speech and singing synthesis into a unified framework, and…

Animals hear and vocalize across frequency ranges that differ substantially from humans, often extending into the ultrasonic domain. Yet most computational bioacoustics systems rely on audio models pre-trained at 16 kHz, restricting their…

We investigate the potential of stochastic neural networks for learning effective waveform-based acoustic models. The waveform-based setting, inherent to fully end-to-end speech recognition systems, is motivated by several comparative…

Neural models have become ubiquitous in automatic speech recognition systems. While neural networks are typically used as acoustic models in more complex systems, recent studies have explored end-to-end speech recognition systems based on…

Research in dolphin communication and cognition requires detailed inspection of audible dolphin signals. The manual analysis of these signals is cumbersome and time-consuming. We seek to automate parts of the analysis using modern deep…

Unsupervised learning with functional data is an emerging paradigm of machine learning research with applications to computer vision, climate modeling and physical systems. A natural way of modeling functional data is by learning operators…

Deep learning has revolutionised synthetic speech quality. However, it has thus far delivered little value to the speech science community. The new methods do not meet the controllability demands that practitioners in this area require…

Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has emerged as a critical tool for interpreting the predictions of complex deep learning models. While XAI has been increasingly applied in various domains within acoustics, its use in bioacoustics,…

Deep learning has enabled highly realistic synthetic speech, raising concerns about fraud, impersonation, and disinformation. Despite rapid progress in neural detectors, transparent baselines are needed to reveal which acoustic cues…

When using ultrasound video as input, Deep Neural Network-based Silent Speech Interfaces usually rely on the whole image to estimate the spectral parameters required for the speech synthesis step. Although this approach is quite…

The presence of noise is common in signal processing regardless the signal type. Deep neural networks have shown good performance in noise removal, especially on the image domain. In this work, we consider deep neural networks as a…

In this paper, we present an analysis of a DNN-based autoencoder for speech enhancement, dereverberation and denoising. The target application is a robust speaker recognition system. We started with augmenting the Fisher database with…

We present a novel neural encoder system for acoustic-to-articulatory inversion. We leverage the Pink Trombone voice synthesizer that reveals articulatory parameters (e.g tongue position and vocal cord configuration). Our system is designed…

A singing voice conversion model converts a song in the voice of an arbitrary source singer to the voice of a target singer. Recently, methods that leverage self-supervised audio representations such as HuBERT and Wav2Vec 2.0 have helped…
