In recent years, Sound AI is being increasingly used to predict machine failures. By attaching a microphone to the machine of interest, one can get real time data on machine behavior from the field. Traditionally, Convolutional Neural Net…

Voice conversion (VC) is a task that transforms the source speaker's timbre, accent, and tones in audio into another one's while preserving the linguistic content. It is still a challenging work, especially in a one-shot setting.…

This work proposes a novel support vector machine (SVM) based robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) front-end that operates on an ensemble of the subband components of high-dimensional acoustic waveforms. The key issues of selecting the…

Isolating the voice of a specific person while filtering out other voices or background noises is challenging when video is shot in noisy environments. We propose audio-visual methods to isolate the voice of a single speaker and eliminate…

Humans have the ability to utilize visual cues, such as lip movements and visual scenes, to enhance auditory perception, particularly in noisy environments. However, current Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) or Audio-Visual Speech…

Video Anomaly Detection (VAD), aiming to identify abnormalities within a specific context and timeframe, is crucial for intelligent Video Surveillance Systems. While recent deep learning-based VAD models have shown promising results by…

This paper investigates the application of environmental feature representations for room verification tasks and acoustic meta-data estimation. Audio recordings contain both speaker and non-speaker information. We refer to the…

Self-supervised learning approaches have lately achieved great success on a broad spectrum of machine learning problems. In the field of speech processing, one of the most successful recent self-supervised models is wav2vec 2.0. In this…

Improving the performance of end-to-end ASR models on long utterances ranging from minutes to hours in length is an ongoing challenge in speech recognition. A common solution is to segment the audio in advance using a separate voice…

Open-vocabulary object detection (OvOD) is set to revolutionize security screening by enabling systems to recognize any item in X-ray scans. However, developing effective OvOD models for X-ray imaging presents unique challenges due to data…

Adding visual cues to audio-based speech separation can improve separation performance. This paper introduces AV-CrossNet, an audiovisual (AV) system for speech enhancement, target speaker extraction, and multi-talker speaker separation.…

This paper describes an audio-visual speech enhancement (AV-SE) method that estimates from noisy input audio a mixture of the speech of the speaker appearing in an input video (on-screen target speech) and of a selected speaker not…

Visual Speech Recognition (VSR) differs from the common perception tasks as it requires deeper reasoning over the video sequence, even by human experts. Despite the recent advances in VSR, current approaches rely on labeled data to fully…

Video Anomaly Detection (VAD) is a fundamental challenge in computer vision, particularly due to the open-set nature of anomalies. While recent training-free approaches utilizing Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have shown promise, they…

Overlapping Speech Detection (OSD) aims to identify regions where multiple speakers overlap in a conversation, a critical challenge in multi-party speech processing. This work proposes a speaker-aware progressive OSD model that leverages a…

Speech segmentation, which splits long speech into short segments, is essential for speech translation (ST). Popular VAD tools like WebRTC VAD have generally relied on pause-based segmentation. Unfortunately, pauses in speech do not…

Existing state-of-the-art saliency detection methods heavily rely on CNN-based architectures. Alternatively, we rethink this task from a convolution-free sequence-to-sequence perspective and predict saliency by modeling long-range…

Spatio-temporal action detection (STAD) is an important fine-grained video understanding task. Current methods require box and label supervision for all action classes in advance. However, in real-world applications, it is very likely to…

Virtual sensing (VS) technology enables active noise control (ANC) systems to attenuate noise at virtual locations distant from the physical error microphones. Appropriate auxiliary filters (AF) can significantly enhance the effectiveness…

With the recent advancements in AI, Intelligent Virtual Assistants (IVA) have become a ubiquitous part of every home. Going forward, we are witnessing a confluence of vision, speech and dialog system technologies that are enabling the IVAs…
