Complex IRM-Aware Training for Voice Activity Detection Using Attention Model

ICASSP 2022accepted

Although many state-of-the-art approaches for improving the accuracy of Voice Activity Detection (VAD) have been proposed, their performance under adverse noise conditions with low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) remains limited. In this paper, we introduce a novel attention model-based deep neural netw…

LIGHT-SERNET: A Lightweight Fully Convolutional Neural Network for Speech Emotion Recognition

ICASSP 2022accepted

Detecting emotions directly from a speech signal plays an important role in effective human-computer interactions. Existing speech emotion recognition models require massive computational and storage resources, making them hard to implement concurrently with other machine-interactive tasks in embedd…

Achieving Fully-Digital Performance by Hybrid Analog/Digital Beamforming in Wide-Band Massive-Mimo Systems

ICASSP 2020accepted

In this paper, we study the realization of any given fully-digital precoder (FDP) by hybrid analog/digital precoding (HADP) in wide-band mmWave systems. We first formulate the massive-MIMO OFDM-based HADP system design and then, introduce the notion of perfect reconstruction at sampling point (PRSP)…

Robust Hybrid Beamforming for Satellite-Terrestrial Integrated Networks

ICASSP 2020accepted

In this paper, we propose a novel robust downlink beamforming (BF) design for satellite-terrestrial integrated networks. Under a realistic assumption that the angular information of eavesdroppers is not perfectly known, we establish an optimization framework for hybrid BF at the terrestrial base sta…

A Fully Convolutional Neural Network for Complex Spectrogram Processing in Speech Enhancement

ICASSP 2019accepted

In this paper we propose a fully convolutional neural network (CNN) for complex spectrogram processing in speech enhancement. The proposed CNN consists of one-dimensional (1-d) convolution and frequency-dilated 2-d convolution, and incorporates a residual learning and skip-connection structure. Comp…

Novel Detection Methods for Zero-padded Single Carrier Spatial Modulation in Doubly Selective Channels

ICASSP 2019accepted

In this paper, we present novel methods for signal detection in single carrier zero-padded spatial modulation under high mobility conditions. By expressing the doubly selective channel in terms of the basis expansion model (BEM), first a maximum likelihood (ML) method is presented as a processing fr…

Single-channel enhancement of convolutive noisy speech based on a discriminative NMF algorithm

ICASSP 2017accepted

In this paper, we introduce a discriminative training algorithm of the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) model for single-channel enhancement of convolutive noisy speech. The basis vectors for the clean speech and noises are estimated simultaneously during the training stage by incorporating t…

Basis compensation in non-negative matrix factorization model for speech enhancement

ICASSP 2016accepted

In this paper, we propose a basis compensation algorithm for non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) models as applied to supervised single-channel speech enhancement. In the proposed framework, we use extra free basis vectors for both the clean speech and noise during the enhancement stage in order…

Joint transceiver designs for secure communications over MIMO relay

ICASSP 2016accepted

This paper addresses the transceiver design problem for secure downlink communications over a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relay system in the presence of multiple eavesdroppers. A new algorithm based on alternating optimization (AO) is first proposed to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (…

Speech dereverberation using linear prediction with estimation of early speech spectral variance

ICASSP 2016accepted

In this paper, we present a new dereverberation algorithm based on the weighted prediction error (WPE) method. In contrast to the conventional WPE method which alternatively estimates the reverberation prediction weights and early speech spectral variance, the proposed algorithm estimates the latter…
