Neural Directional Filtering Using a Compact Microphone Array
Weilong Huang, Srikanth Raj Chetupalli, Mhd Modar Halimeh +2
Beamforming with desired directivity patterns using compact microphone arrays is essential in many audio applications. Directivity patterns achievable using traditional beamformers…
Robust Speech Activity Detection in the Presence of Singing Voice
Philipp Grundhuber, Mhd Modar Halimeh, Martin Strauà +1
Speech Activity Detection (SAD) systems often misclassify singing as speech, leading to degraded performance in applications such as dialogue enhancement and automatic speech recog…
Acoustic Teleportation via Disentangled Neural Audio Codec Representations
Philipp Grundhuber, Mhd Modar Halimeh, Emanuël A. P. Habets
This paper presents an approach for acoustic teleportation by disentangling speech content from acoustic environment characteristics in neural audio codec representations. Acoustic…
Navigating PESQ: Up-to-Date Versions and Open Implementations
Matteo Torcoli, Mhd Modar Halimeh, Emanuël A. P. Habets
Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Quality (PESQ) is an objective quality measure that remains widely used despite its withdrawal by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). P…
On the Relation Between Speech Quality and Quantized Latent Representations of Neural Codecs
Mhd Modar Halimeh, Matteo Torcoli, Philipp Grundhuber +1
Neural audio signal codecs have attracted significant attention in recent years. In essence, the impressive low bitrate achieved by such encoders is enabled by learning an abstract…
