Speech bandwidth extension (BWE) has demonstrated promising performance in enhancing the perceptual speech quality in real communication systems. Most existing BWE researches primarily focus on fixed upsampling ratios, disregarding the fact…

Audio super-resolution (SR), also referred to as bandwidth extension (BWE), aims to reconstruct high-fidelity signals from low-resolution (LR) or band-limited (BL) observations, an inherently ill-posed task due to the ambiguity of missing…

Audio inpainting aims to reconstruct missing segments in corrupted recordings. Most of existing methods produce plausible reconstructions when the gap lengths are short, but struggle to reconstruct gaps larger than about 100 ms. This paper…
