BiEAR: A Human Auditory-Inspired Adaptive Binaural Front-end for Multi-Speaker Localisation and Distance Estimation
Hanyu Meng, Eliathamby Ambikairajah, Vidhyasaharan Sethu +2
We present BiEAR, a human auditory-inspired adaptive binaural front-end for multi-speaker localisation and distance estimation. Inspired by medial olivocochlear (MOC) feedback in h…
Continual Adaptation for Pacific Indigenous Speech Recognition
Yang Xiao, Aso Mahmudi, Nick Thieberger +3
Speech foundation models struggle with low-resource Pacific Indigenous languages because of severe data scarcity. Furthermore, full fine-tuning risks catastrophic forgetting. To ad…
Adaptive Per-Channel Energy Normalization Front-end for Robust Audio Signal Processing
Hanyu Meng, Vidhyasaharan Sethu, Eliathamby Ambikairajah +2
In audio signal processing, learnable front-ends have shown strong performance across diverse tasks by optimizing task-specific representation. However, their parameters remain fix…
Characterization of Speech Similarity Between Australian Aboriginal and High-Resource Languages: A Case Study on Dharawal
Ting Dang, Trini Manoj Jeyaseelan, Eliathamby Ambikairajah +1
Australian Aboriginal languages are of significant cultural and linguistic value but remain severely underrepresented in modern speech AI systems. While state-of-the-art speech fou…
Exploring Length Generalization For Transformer-based Speech Enhancement
Qiquan Zhang, Hongxu Zhu, Xinyuan Qian +2
Transformer network architecture has proven effective in speech enhancement. However, as its core module, self-attention suffers from quadratic complexity, making it infeasible for…
Should Audio Front-ends be Adaptive? Comparing Learnable and Adaptive Front-ends
Qiquan Zhang, Buddhi Wickramasinghe, Eliathamby Ambikairajah +2
Hand-crafted features, such as Mel-filterbanks, have traditionally been the choice for many audio processing applications. Recently, there has been a growing interest in learnable…
