Pulse Audition: Leveraging DNN-Based Speech Enhancement for Improved Communication in Assistive Listening Devices

rmichon — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 07:41:09 +0000

Date:

Thu, 05/02/2024 - 6:00pm - 7:00pm

Location:

CCRMA Classroom

Event Type:

Guest Colloquium

This talk explores the evolution of Deep Neural Network (DNN) based approaches in speech enhancement and source separation. Beginning with a historical overview, it traces the progression from traditional methods to the current state-of-the-art techniques. Emphasizing the persistent challenge of speech intelligibility in noisy environments, the discussion transitions to the contemporary issue of inadequate performance in conventional hearing aids. The approach adopted by Pulse Audition of integrating DNN-based technologies into hearing assistance systems is then highlighted, presenting a promising avenue for significantly enhancing communication for individuals with hearing impairments.

Christine Evers on Embodied Audio

Event Type:

Hearing Seminar

Teaching robots to hear is important and hard. This is true whether you are talking about an arm, a walking robot, or a car. Robots move, generating their own sounds. We wish for our machines to have a full 360 degrees of situational awareness. They are often in close proximity to humans, so the stakes are higher. And we never have enough microphones or a big enough baseline.

At next **Tuesday’s** Hearing Seminar, Prof. Christine Evers from Southhampton will be talking about embodied audio, or how to teach (noisy) robots how to hear. The last time I saw Dr. Evers, she won a best presentation award, and I’m looking forward to hearing her perspective on how to help our machine (overloads :-) hear better.
