Clustering of Acoustic Environments with Variational Autoencoders for Hearing Devices
Luan Vinícius Fiorio, Ivana Nikoloska, Wim van Houtum +1
Traditional acoustic environment classification relies on: i) classical signal processing algorithms, which are unable to extract meaningful representations of high-dimensional dat…
Hybrid Real- and Complex-valued Neural Network Architecture
Alex Young, Luan Vinícius Fiorio, Bo Yang +3
We propose a \emph{hybrid} real- and complex-valued \emph{neural network} (HNN) architecture, designed to combine the computational efficiency of real-valued processing with the ab…
Categorical Unsupervised Variational Acoustic Clustering
Luan Vinícius Fiorio, Ivana Nikoloska, Ronald M. Aarts
We propose a categorical approach for unsupervised variational acoustic clustering of audio data in the time-frequency domain. The consideration of a categorical distribution enfor…
Target Speaker Selection for Neural Network Beamforming in Multi-Speaker Scenarios
Luan Vinícius Fiorio, Bruno Defraene, Johan David +4
We propose a speaker selection mechanism (SSM) for the training of an end-to-end beamforming neural network, based on recent findings that a listener usually looks to the target sp…
Unsupervised Variational Acoustic Clustering
Luan Vinícius Fiorio, Bruno Defraene, Johan David +3
We propose an unsupervised variational acoustic clustering model for clustering audio data in the time-frequency domain. The model leverages variational inference, extended to an a…
