Towards Array-Invariant Speech Enhancement via Geometry-Aware Dynamic Convolution
Zhenglong Liu, Wangyou Zhang, Chenda Li +1
Multi-channel speech enhancement (SE) systems exhibit superior performance over single-channel methods but are constrained to fixed microphone array configurations. This restricts…
ESPnet3: Infrastructure for Scalable Speech and Audio Research in the Foundation Model Era
Masao Someki, Alexander Polok, Carlos Carvalho +14
Recent speech research involves increasingly large datasets, complex models, and diverse experimental workflows. However, existing frameworks require substantial engineering effort…
Representation-Regularized Convolutional Audio Transformer for Audio Understanding
Bing Han, Chushu Zhou, Yifan Yang +4
Bootstrap-based Self-Supervised Learning (SSL) has achieved remarkable progress in audio understanding. However, existing methods typically operate at a single level of granularity…
ICASSP 2026 URGENT Speech Enhancement Challenge
Chenda Li, Wei Wang, Marvin Sach +8
The ICASSP 2026 URGENT Challenge advances the series by focusing on universal speech enhancement (SE) systems that handle diverse distortions, domains, and input conditions. This o…
USE: A Unified Model for Universal Sound Separation and Extraction
Hongyu Wang, Chenda Li, Xin Zhou +2
Sound separation (SS) and target sound extraction (TSE) are fundamental techniques for addressing complex acoustic scenarios. While existing SS methods struggle with determining th…
MeanSE: Efficient Generative Speech Enhancement with Mean Flows
Jiahe Wang, Hongyu Wang, Wei Wang +5
Speech enhancement (SE) improves degraded speech's quality, with generative models like flow matching gaining attention for their outstanding perceptual quality. However, the flow-…
