Speech emotion recognition (SER) performance deteriorates significantly in the presence of noise, making it challenging to achieve competitive performance in noisy conditions. To this end, we propose a multi-level knowledge distillation…

Speech clarity and spatial audio immersion are the two most critical factors in enhancing remote conferencing experiences. Existing methods are often limited: either due to the lack of spatial information when using only one microphone, or…

Speech enhancement (SE) is crucial for reliable communication devices or robust speech recognition systems. Although conventional artificial neural networks (ANN) have demonstrated remarkable performance in SE, they require significant…

For tasks involving language and vision, the current state-of-the-art methods tend not to leverage any additional information that might be present to gather relevant (commonsense) knowledge. A representative task is Visual Question…

Speech enhancement (SE) models advance rapidly, yet it remains underexplored how degradation of input signals affects their internal representations. We introduce a probing process, aimed at modeling the behavior of internal representations…

Recently, the end-to-end approach has proven its efficacy in monaural multi-speaker speech recognition. However, high word error rates (WERs) still prevent these systems from being used in practical applications. On the other hand, the…

Personalized speech enhancement (PSE) models can improve the audio quality of teleconferencing systems by adapting to the characteristics of a speaker's voice. However, most existing methods require a separate speaker embedding model to…

Humans can robustly recognize and localize objects by integrating visual and auditory cues. While machines are able to do the same now with images, less work has been done with sounds. This work develops an approach for dense semantic…

Generative models have excelled in audio tasks using approaches such as language models, diffusion, and flow matching. However, existing generative approaches for speech enhancement (SE) face notable challenges: language model-based methods…

Cross-domain speech enhancement (SE) is often faced with severe challenges due to the scarcity of noise and background information in an unseen target domain, leading to a mismatch between training and test conditions. This study puts…

Model architectures such as wav2vec 2.0 and HuBERT have been proposed to learn speech representations from audio waveforms in a self-supervised manner. When they are combined with downstream tasks such as keyword spotting and speaker…
