Adaptive representations are increasingly indispensable for reducing the in-memory and on-disk footprints of large-scale data. Usual solutions are designed broadly along two themes: reducing data precision, e.g., through compression, or…
Driven by the ultra-high throughput requirements of 6G, wireless communications are migrating to centimeter wave (cmWave) bands to overcome the limitations of current spectral resources. Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and…
Sound field reconstruction (SFR) augments the information of a sound field captured by a microphone array. Conventional SFR methods using basis function decomposition are straightforward and computationally efficient, but may require more…
Loudspeaker-based spatial audio reproduction schemes are increasingly used for evaluating hearing aids in complex acoustic conditions. To further establish the feasibility of this approach, this study investigated the interaction between…
Compressive sensing (CS) reconstructs images from sub-Nyquist measurements by solving a sparsity-regularized inverse problem. Traditional CS solvers use iterative optimizers with hand crafted sparsifiers, while early data-driven methods…
In compressed sensing, measurements are typically contaminated by additive noise, and therefore, information about the noise variance is often needed to design algorithms. In this paper, we propose a method for estimating the unknown noise…
Automatic speech recognition (ASR), audio quality, and loudness are key performance indicators (KPIs) in smart speakers. To improve all these KPIs, audio dynamics processing is a crucial component in related systems. Unfortunately,…
While the spatial directivity of multichannel speech enhancement algorithms improves with the number of microphones, fitting large capture arrays into real-world edge devices is typically limited by physical constraints. To overcome this…
Spike and slab priors play a key role in inducing sparsity for sparse signal recovery. The use of such priors results in hard non-convex and mixed integer programming problems. Most of the existing algorithms to solve the optimization…
Joint detection and localization of users and scatterers in multipath-rich channels on multiple bands is critical for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) in 6G. Existing multiband sensing methods are limited by classical beamforming…
Many information systems employ lossy compression as a crucial intermediate stage among other processing components. While the important distortion is defined by the system's input and output signals, the compression usually ignores the…
Speech restoration aims at restoring full-band speech with high quality and intelligibility, considering a diverse set of distortions. MaskSR is a recently proposed generative model for this task. As other models of its kind, MaskSR attains…
Speech enhancement promises higher efficiency in ad-hoc microphone arrays than in constrained microphone arrays thanks to the wide spatial coverage of the devices in the acoustic scene. However, speech enhancement in ad-hoc microphone…
This study addresses robust automatic speech recognition (ASR) by introducing a Conformer-based acoustic model. The proposed model builds on the wide residual bi-directional long short-term memory network (WRBN) with utterance-wise dropout…
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has shown remarkable progress, yet it still faces challenges in real-world distant scenarios across various array topologies each with multiple recording devices. The focal point of the CHiME-7 Distant ASR…
Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) of speech production enables non-invasive visualization of dynamic vocal-tract motion and is valuable for speech science and clinical assessment. However, rtMRI is fundamentally constrained by…
Conventional far-field automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems typically employ microphone array techniques for speech enhancement in order to improve robustness against noise or reverberation. However, such speech enhancement techniques…
Photoacoustic Microscopy (PAM) images integrating the advantages of optical contrast and acoustic resolution have been widely used in brain studies. However, there exists a trade-off between scanning speed and image resolution. Compared…
The recent development of Audio-based Distributional Semantic Models (ADSMs) enables the computation of audio and lexical vector representations in a joint acoustic-semantic space. In this work, these joint representations are applied to…
Machine sounds exhibit consistent and repetitive patterns in both the frequency and time domains, which vary significantly across scales for different machine types. For instance, rotating machines often show periodic features in short time…
