Unsupervised Speech Enhancement via Drifting
Diego Caviedes-Nozal, Liang Xu, Rasmus Kongsgaard Olsson +1
This paper addresses unsupervised speech enhancement in the unpaired setting using drifting methods, where training relies on separate collections of degraded and clean audio witho…
DriftSE: Speech Enhancement with Generative Drifting
Liang Xu, Diego Caviedes-Nozal, W. Bastiaan Kleijn +2
We propose DriftSE, a novel one-step generative framework for speech enhancement formulated as a latent distribution equilibrium problem. During training, the drifting field aligns…
Speech Enhancement Based on Drifting Models
Liang Xu, Diego Caviedes-Nozal, W. Bastiaan Kleijn +2
We propose Speech Enhancement based on Drifting Models (DriftSE), a novel generative framework that formulates denoising as an equilibrium problem. Rather than relying on iterative…
Single Microphone Own Voice Detection based on Simulated Transfer Functions for Hearing Aids
Mathuranathan Mayuravaani, W. Bastiaan Kleijn, Andrew Lensen +1
This paper presents a simulation-based approach to own voice detection (OVD) in hearing aids using a single microphone. While OVD can significantly improve user comfort and speech…
LMCodec: A Low Bitrate Speech Codec With Causal Transformer Models
Teerapat Jenrungrot, Michael Chinen, W. Bastiaan Kleijn +4
We introduce LMCodec, a causal neural speech codec that provides high quality audio at very low bitrates. The backbone of the system is a causal convolutional codec that encodes au…
Ultra-Low-Bitrate Speech Coding with Pretrained Transformers
Ali Siahkoohi, Michael Chinen, Tom Denton +2
Speech coding facilitates the transmission of speech over low-bandwidth networks with minimal distortion. Neural-network based speech codecs have recently demonstrated significant…
On the Relevance of Bandwidth Extension for Speaker Verification
Marcos Faundez-Zanuy, Mattias Nilsson, W. Bastiaan Kleijn
In this paper, we consider the effect of a bandwidth extension of narrow-band speech signals (0.3-3.4 kHz) to 0.3-8 kHz on speaker verification. Using covariance matrix based verif…
On the relevance of bandwidth extension for speaker identification
Marcos Faundez-Zanuy, Mattias Nilsson, W. Bastiaan Kleijn
In this paper we discuss the relevance of bandwidth extension for speaker identification tasks. Mainly we want to study if it is possible to recognize voices that have been bandwit…
An evaluation of intrusive instrumental intelligibility metrics
Steven Van Kuyk, W. Bastiaan Kleijn, Richard C. Hendriks
Instrumental intelligibility metrics are commonly used as an alternative to listening tests. This paper evaluates 12 monaural intrusive intelligibility metrics: SII, HEGP, CSII, HA…
An instrumental intelligibility metric based on information theory
Steven Van Kuyk, W. Bastiaan Kleijn, Richard C. Hendriks
We propose a monaural intrusive instrumental intelligibility metric called speech intelligibility in bits (SIIB). SIIB is an estimate of the amount of information shared between a…
