Ethio-ASR: Joint Multilingual Speech Recognition and Language Identification for Ethiopian Languages

Badr M. Abdullah, Israel Abebe Azime, Atnafu Lambebo Tonja +14

We present Ethio-ASR, a suite of multilingual CTC-based automatic speech recognition (ASR) models jointly trained on five Ethiopian languages: Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromo, Sidaama, an…

BinauralFlow: A Causal and Streamable Approach for High-Quality Binaural Speech Synthesis with Flow Matching Models

Susan Liang, Dejan Markovic, Israel D. Gebru +7

Binaural rendering aims to synthesize binaural audio that mimics natural hearing based on a mono audio and the locations of the speaker and listener. Although many methods have bee…

SoundVista: Novel-View Ambient Sound Synthesis via Visual-Acoustic Binding

Mingfei Chen, Israel D. Gebru, Ishwarya Ananthabhotla +7

We introduce SoundVista, a method to generate the ambient sound of an arbitrary scene at novel viewpoints. Given a pre-acquired recording of the scene from sparsely distributed mic…

ComplexDec: A Domain-robust High-fidelity Neural Audio Codec with Complex Spectrum Modeling

Yi-Chiao Wu, Dejan Marković, Steven Krenn +2

Neural audio codecs have been widely adopted in audio-generative tasks because their compact and discrete representations are suitable for both large-language-model-style and regre…

Real Acoustic Fields: An Audio-Visual Room Acoustics Dataset and Benchmark

Ziyang Chen, Israel D. Gebru, Christian Richardt +4

We present a new dataset called Real Acoustic Fields (RAF) that captures real acoustic room data from multiple modalities. The dataset includes high-quality and densely captured ro…

ScoreDec: A Phase-preserving High-Fidelity Audio Codec with A Generalized Score-based Diffusion Post-filter

Yi-Chiao Wu, Dejan Marković, Steven Krenn +2

Although recent mainstream waveform-domain end-to-end (E2E) neural audio codecs achieve impressive coded audio quality with a very low bitrate, the quality gap between the coded an…

AudioDec: An Open-source Streaming High-fidelity Neural Audio Codec

Yi-Chiao Wu, Israel D. Gebru, Dejan Marković +1

A good audio codec for live applications such as telecommunication is characterized by three key properties: (1) compression, i.e.\ the bitrate that is required to transmit the sig…

End-to-End Binaural Speech Synthesis

Wen Chin Huang, Dejan Markovic, Alexander Richard +2

In this work, we present an end-to-end binaural speech synthesis system that combines a low-bitrate audio codec with a powerful binaural decoder that is capable of accurate speech…

SAQAM: Spatial Audio Quality Assessment Metric

Pranay Manocha, Anurag Kumar, Buye Xu +4

Audio quality assessment is critical for assessing the perceptual realism of sounds. However, the time and expense of obtaining ''gold standard'' human judgments limit the availabi…

DPLM: A Deep Perceptual Spatial-Audio Localization Metric

Pranay Manocha, Anurag Kumar, Buye Xu +4

Subjective evaluations are critical for assessing the perceptual realism of sounds in audio-synthesis driven technologies like augmented and virtual reality. However, they are chal…

Audio-Visual Speaker Diarization Based on Spatiotemporal Bayesian Fusion

Israel D. Gebru, Silèye Ba, Xiaofei Li +1

Speaker diarization consists of assigning speech signals to people engaged in a dialogue. An audio-visual spatiotemporal diarization model is proposed. The model is well suited for…
