Voice Conversion Using Partial Least Squares Regression
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...

Speaker Diarization Exploiting the Eigengap Criterion and Cluster Ensembles
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...

Time-Frequency Sparsity by Removing Perceptually Irrelevant Components Using a Simple Model of Simultaneous Masking
Abstract—We present an algorithm for removing timefrequency components, found by a standard Gabor transform, of a “real-world” sound while causing no audible difference to th...

Source/Filter Model for Unsupervised Main Melody Extraction From Polyphonic Audio Signals
— Extracting the main melody from a polyphonic music recording seems natural even to untrained human listeners. To a certain extent it is related to the concept of source separat...

On Optimal Frequency-Domain Multichannel Linear Filtering for Noise Reduction
Abstract—Several contributions have been made so far to develop optimal multichannel linear filtering approaches and show their ability to reduce the acoustic noise. However, th...

New Insights Into the MVDR Beamformer in Room Acoustics
—The minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer, also known as Capon’s beamformer, is widely studied in the area of speech enhancement. The MVDR beamformer can ...
