In real-time speech recognition applications, the latency is an important issue. We have developed a character-level incremental speech recognition (ISR) system that responds quickly even during the speech, where the hypotheses are…

Ensuring intelligible speech communication for hearing assistive devices in low-latency scenarios presents significant challenges in terms of speech enhancement, coding and transmission. In this paper, we propose novel solutions for…

In this work, we propose an overlapped speech detection system trained as a three-class classifier. Unlike conventional systems that perform binary classification as to whether or not a frame contains overlapped speech, the proposed…

In this paper, we propose a speech enhancement method us ing dual-path Multi-Channel Linear Prediction (MCLP) filters and multi-norm beamforming. Specifically, the MCLP part in the proposed method is designed with dual-path filters in both…

In recent decades, neural network based methods have significantly improved the performace of speech enhancement. Most of them estimate time-frequency (T-F) representation of target speech directly or indirectly, then resynthesize waveform…

Sequence-to-sequence models have shown success in end-to-end speech recognition. However these models have only used shallow acoustic encoder networks. In our work, we successively train very deep convolutional networks to add more…

The conversion from text to speech relies on the accurate mapping from linguistic to acoustic symbol sequences, for which current practice employs recurrent statistical models like recurrent neural networks. Despite the good performance of…

This chapter presents a novel approach to brain-to-speech (BTS) synthesis from intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) data, emphasizing prosody-aware feature engineering and advanced transformer-based models for high-fidelity speech…

Speech enhancement is a demanding task in automated speech processing pipelines, focusing on separating clean speech from noisy channels. Transformer based models have recently bested RNN and CNN models in speech enhancement, however at the…

Removing background noise from speech audio has been the subject of considerable effort, especially in recent years due to the rise of virtual communication and amateur recordings. Yet background noise is not the only unpleasant disturbance…

Deep-learning based noise reduction algorithms have proven their success especially for non-stationary noises, which makes it desirable to also use them for embedded devices like hearing aids (HAs). This, however, is currently not possible…

Recently sequence-to-sequence models have started to achieve state-of-the-art performance on standard speech recognition tasks when processing audio data in batch mode, i.e., the complete audio data is available when starting processing.…

This paper aims to address two issues existing in the current speech enhancement methods: 1) the difficulty of phase estimations; 2) a single objective function cannot consider multiple metrics simultaneously. To solve the first problem, we…

Speech enhancement is widely used as a front-end to improve the speech quality in many audio systems, while it is hard to extract the target speech in multi-talker conditions without prior information on the speaker identity. It was shown…

In this paper, we propose a deep convolutional neural network-based acoustic word embedding system on code-switching query by example spoken term detection. Different from previous configurations, we combine audio data in two languages for…

We propose a novel framework for electrolaryngeal speech intelligibility enhancement through the use of robust linguistic encoders. Pretraining and fine-tuning approaches have proven to work well in this task, but in most cases, various…

Speech enhancement and source localization has been active research for several decades with a wide range of real-world applications. Recently, the Deep Complex Convolution Recurrent network (DCCRN) has yielded impressive enhancement…

Many hearing-impaired listeners struggle to localize sounds due to poor availability of binaural cues. Listeners with a cochlear implant and a contralateral hearing aid -- so-called bimodal listeners -- are amongst the worst performers, as…

Listening to the audio of TV broadcast signals can be challenging for hearing-impaired as well as normal-hearing listeners, especially when background sounds are prominent or too loud compared to the speech signal. This can result in a…

Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) offer numerous human-centered application possibilities, particularly affecting people with neurological disorders. Text or speech decoding from brain activities is a relevant domain that could augment the…
