In this thesis, we propose an artificial auditory system that gives a robot the ability to locate and track sounds, as well as to separate simultaneous sound sources and recognising simultaneous speech. We demonstrate that it is possible to…

Speech separation is the task of separating target speech from background interference. Traditionally, speech separation is studied as a signal processing problem. A more recent approach formulates speech separation as a supervised learning…

Multi-speaker automatic speech recognition (ASR) is crucial for many real-world applications, but it requires dedicated modeling techniques. Existing approaches can be divided into modular and end-to-end methods. Modular approaches separate…

In recent years, speech processing algorithms have seen tremendous progress primarily due to the deep learning renaissance. This is especially true for speech separation where the time-domain audio separation network (TasNet) has led to…

Speech separation has been shown effective for multi-talker speech recognition. Under the ad hoc microphone array setup where the array consists of spatially distributed asynchronous microphones, additional challenges must be overcome as…

We consider the problem of audio voice separation for binaural applications, such as earphones and hearing aids. While today's neural networks perform remarkably well (separating $4+$ sources with 2 microphones) they assume a known or fixed…

Real-time single-channel speech separation aims to unmix an audio stream captured from a single microphone that contains multiple people talking at once, environmental noise, and reverberation into multiple de-reverberated and noise-free…

While the use of deep neural networks has significantly boosted speaker recognition performance, it is still challenging to separate speakers in poor acoustic environments. Here speech enhancement methods have traditionally allowed improved…

Speech data collected in real-world scenarios often encounters two issues. First, multiple sources may exist simultaneously, and the number of sources may vary with time. Second, the existence of background noise in recording is inevitable.…

Speech enhancement is a task to improve the intelligibility and perceptual quality of degraded speech signal. Recently, neural networks based methods have been applied to speech enhancement. However, many neural network based methods…

Classroom environments are particularly challenging for children with hearing impairments, where background noise, multiple talkers, and reverberation degrade speech perception. These difficulties are greater for children than adults, yet…

With the rise of voice-enabled technologies, loudspeaker playback has become widespread, posing increasing risks to speech privacy. Traditional eavesdropping methods often require invasive access or line-of-sight, limiting their…

Conventional approaches to sound localization and separation are based on microphone arrays in artificial systems. Inspired by the selective perception of human auditory system, we design a multi-source listening system which can separate…

Recent progress in separating the speech signals from multiple overlapping speakers using a single audio channel has brought us closer to solving the cocktail party problem. However, most studies in this area use a constrained problem…

Speech enhancement performance degrades significantly in noisy environments, limiting the deployment of speech-controlled technologies in industrial settings, such as manufacturing plants. Existing speech enhancement solutions primarly rely…

This paper addresses the issue of active speaker detection (ASD) in noisy environments and formulates a robust active speaker detection (rASD) problem. Existing ASD approaches leverage both audio and visual modalities, but non-speech sounds…

In challenging environments with significant noise and reverberation, traditional speech enhancement (SE) methods often lead to over-suppressed speech, creating artifacts during listening and harming downstream tasks performance. To…

This paper proposes a flexible multichannel speech enhancement system with the main goal of improving robustness of automatic speech recognition (ASR) in noisy conditions. The proposed system combines a flexible neural mask estimator…

Speech enhancement (SE) is usually required as a front end to improve the speech quality in noisy environments, while the enhanced speech might not be optimal for automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems due to speech distortion. On the…

We present ClearBuds, the first hardware and software system that utilizes a neural network to enhance speech streamed from two wireless earbuds. Real-time speech enhancement for wireless earbuds requires high-quality sound separation and…
