An Overview of Deep-Learning-Based Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement and Separation

Daniel Michelsanti, Zheng-Hua Tan, Shi-Xiong Zhang +4

Speech enhancement and speech separation are two related tasks, whose purpose is to extract either one or more target speech signals, respectively, from a mixture of sounds generat…

Vocoder-Based Speech Synthesis from Silent Videos

Daniel Michelsanti, Olga Slizovskaia, Gloria Haro +3

Both acoustic and visual information influence human perception of speech. For this reason, the lack of audio in a video sequence determines an extremely low speech intelligibility…

Deep-Learning-Based Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement in Presence of Lombard Effect

Daniel Michelsanti, Zheng-Hua Tan, Sigurdur Sigurdsson +1

When speaking in presence of background noise, humans reflexively change their way of speaking in order to improve the intelligibility of their speech. This reflex is known as Lomb…

Effects of Lombard Reflex on the Performance of Deep-Learning-Based Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement Systems

Daniel Michelsanti, Zheng-Hua Tan, Sigurdur Sigurdsson +1

Humans tend to change their way of speaking when they are immersed in a noisy environment, a reflex known as Lombard effect. Current speech enhancement systems based on deep learni…
