The DeepFilterNet (DFN) architecture was recently proposed as a deep learning model suited for hearing aid devices. Despite its competitive performance on numerous benchmarks, it still follows a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, which aims to train a single, monolithic architecture that generalises acro…
Complex-valued processing has brought deep learning-based speech enhancement and signal extraction to a new level. Typically, the process is based on a time-frequency (TF) mask which is applied to a noisy spectrogram, while complex masks (CM) are usually preferred over real-valued masks due to their…
Noise reduction is an important part of modern hearing aids and is included in most commercially available devices. Deep learning-based state-of-the-art algorithms, however, either do not consider real-time and frequency resolution constrains or result in poor quality under very noisy conditions.To…
Audiovisual media are increasingly used to study the communication and behavior of animal groups, e.g. by placing microphones in the animals habitat resulting in huge datasets with only a small amount of animal interactions. The Orcalab has recorded orca whales since 1973 using stationary underwater…
