Multiple pitch estimation consists of estimating the fundamental frequencies and saliences of pitched sounds over short time frames of an audio signal. This task forms the basis of...
Knowing the orientation of a talker in the focal area of a large-aperture microphone array enables the development of better beamforming algorithms (to obtain higher-quality speech...
Abstract--This paper considers a psychoacoustically constrained and distortion minimized speech enhancement algorithm. Noise reduction, in general, leads to speech distortion, and ...
We consider the problem of extracting the source signals from an under-determined convolutive mixture assuming known mixing filters. State-of-the-art methods operate in the time-fr...
Existing binaural approaches to speech segregation place an exclusive burden on cues related to the location of sound sources in space. These approaches can achieve excellent perfo...
Various methods have recently appeared to transform foreign-accented speech into its native-accented counterpart. Evaluation of these accent conversion methods requires extensive l...
Abstract--Voice conversion can be formulated as finding a mapping function which transforms the features of the source speaker to those of the target speaker. Gaussian mixture mode...

A novel system for speaker diarization is proposed that combines the eigengap criterion and cluster ensembles. No explicit assumptions on the number of speakers are made. Two varia...
Abstract--With the availability of powerful computational and communication systems, scientists now readily access large, complicated derived datasets and build on those results to...
