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…

We propose a system that transcribes the conversation of a typical meeting scenario that is captured by a set of initially unsynchronized microphone arrays at unknown positions. It consists of subsystems for signal synchronization,…

Beamforming with desired directivity patterns using compact microphone arrays is essential in many audio applications. Directivity patterns achievable using traditional beamformers depend on the number of microphones and the array aperture.…

Neural Speech Codecs face a fundamental trade-off at low bitrates: preserving acoustic fidelity often compromises semantic richness. To address this, we introduce SACodec, a novel codec built upon an asymmetric dual-quantizer that employs…

Audio coding is an essential module in the real-time communication system. Neural audio codecs can compress audio samples with a low bitrate due to the strong modeling and generative capabilities of deep neural networks. To address the poor…

Although mask-based beamforming is a powerful speech enhancement approach, it often requires manual parameter tuning to handle moving speakers. Recently, this approach was augmented with an attention-based spatial covariance matrix…
