We propose a novel approach for semi-supervised extraction of a moving audio source of interest (SOI) applicable in reverberant and noisy environments. The blind part of the method is based on independent vector extraction (IVE) and uses the recently proposed constant separating vector (CSV) mixing…
We propose a novel algorithm for adaptive blind audio source extraction. The proposed method is based on independent vector analysis and utilizes the auxiliary function optimization to achieve high convergence speed. The algorithm is partially supervised by a pilot signal related to the source of in…
We propose a new model for blind source extraction where the source of interest is assumed to be static while the background noise is dynamic. The model is determined within short blocks (the same number of sources as that of sensors), however, the noise subspace can be changing from block to block.…
This paper addresses the task of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) with music in the background. We consider two different situations: 1) scenarios with very small amount of labeled training utterances (duration 1 hour) and 2) scenarios with large amount of labeled training utterances (duration 132…
This paper addresses the task of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) with music in the background, where the accuracy of recognition may deteriorate significantly. To improve the robustness of ASR in this task, e.g. for broadcast news transcription or subtitles creation, we adopt two approaches: 1) m…
In this paper, a new approach to online Speech Activity Detection (SAD) is proposed. This approach is designed for the use in a system that carries out 24/7 transcription of radio/TV broadcasts containing a large amount of non-speech segments, such as advertisements or music. To improve the robustne…
