With the proliferation of video platforms on the internet, recording musical performances by mobile devices has become commonplace. However, these recordings often suffer from degradation such as noise and reverberation, which negatively…

We present a deep neural network-based methodology for synthesising percussive sounds with control over high-level timbral characteristics of the sounds. This approach allows for intuitive control of a synthesizer, enabling the user to…

Having knowledge of the environmental context of the user i.e. the knowledge of the users' indoor location and the semantics of their environment, can facilitate the development of many of location-aware applications. In this paper, we…

With the rapid development of spatial audio technologies today, applications in AR, VR, and other scenarios have garnered extensive attention. Unlike traditional mono sound, spatial audio offers a more realistic and immersive auditory…

Surround sound systems commonly distribute loudspeakers along standardized layouts for multichannel audio reproduction. However in less controlled environments, practical layouts vary in loudspeaker quantity, placement, and listening…

Human perceives rich auditory experience with distinct sound heard by ears. Videos recorded with binaural audio particular simulate how human receives ambient sound. However, a large number of videos are with monaural audio only, which…

This paper proposes to use low-level spatial features extracted from multichannel audio for sound event detection. We extend the convolutional recurrent neural network to handle more than one type of these multichannel features by learning…

In audio-related creative tasks, sound designers often seek to extend and morph different sounds from their libraries. Generative audio models, capable of creating audio using examples as references, offer promising solutions. By masking…

Learning robust audio representations currently demands extensive datasets of real-world sound recordings. By applying artificial transformations to these recordings, models can learn to recognize similarities despite subtle variations…

Sound capture by microphone arrays opens the possibility to exploit spatial, in addition to spectral, information for diarization and signal enhancement, two important tasks in meeting transcription. However, there is no one-to-one mapping…

Dereverberation is an important sub-task of Speech Enhancement (SE) to improve the signal's intelligibility and quality. However, it remains challenging because the reverberation is highly correlated with the signal. Furthermore, the…

Entropy is a measure of heterogeneity widely used in applied sciences, often when data are collected over space. Recently, a number of approaches has been proposed to include spatial information in entropy. The aim of entropy is to…

The topic of room equalisation has been at the forefront of research and product development for many years, with the aim of increasing the playback quality of loudspeakers in reverberant rooms. Traditional room equalisation systems…

Generating sound effects with controllable variations is a challenging task, traditionally addressed using sophisticated physical models that require in-depth knowledge of signal processing parameters and algorithms. In the era of…

A deep neural network solution for time-scale modification (TSM) focused on large stretching factors is proposed, targeting environmental sounds. Traditional TSM artifacts such as transient smearing, loss of presence, and phasiness are…

Recent approaches in music generation rely on disentangled representations, often labeled as structure and timbre or local and global, to enable controllable synthesis. Yet the underlying properties of these embeddings remain underexplored.…

Recent advances in singing voice synthesis (SVS) have attracted substantial attention from both academia and industry. With the advent of large language models and novel generative paradigms, producing controllable, high-fidelity singing…

Spatial filtering is a commonly deployed technique to improve the quality of laser beams by optically filtering the noise. In the "textbook" example, the noise is usually assumed to be high frequency and the laser beam, Gaussian. In this…

Speech separation has been very successful with deep learning techniques. Substantial effort has been reported based on approaches over spectrogram, which is well known as the standard time-and-frequency cross-domain representation for…

Subjective evaluations are critical for assessing the perceptual realism of sounds in audio-synthesis driven technologies like augmented and virtual reality. However, they are challenging to set up, fatiguing for users, and expensive. In…
