We present a streamlined framework for complex spectral masking that processes multichannel speech with minimal computational demands, enhancing both spectral magnitude and phase by integrating low-compute models with the Multi-Channel Wiener Filter (MCWF). Our methodology employs a two-stage, end-t…
The ranking of sound event detection (SED) systems may be biased by assumptions inherent to evaluation criteria and to the choice of an operating point. This paper compares conventional event-based and segment-based criteria against the Polyphonic Sound Detection Score (PSDS)'s intersection-based cr…
This work defines a new framework for performance evaluation of polyphonic sound event detection (SED) systems, which overcomes the limitations of the conventional collar-based event decisions, event F-scores and event error rates. The proposed framework introduces a definition of event detection th…
Here we propose a permutation-free cGMM (PF-cGMM), a new probabilistic model of observed mixtures, which can resolve permutation ambiguity between frequency bins, and is applicable even when the number of sources is unknown. A recently proposed complex Gaussian mixture model (cGMM) is highly effecti…
In our demo, we present two hardware platforms for prototyping audio array signal processing. Pyramic is a 48-channel microphone array fitted on an FPGA and Compact Six is a portable microphone array with six microphones, closer to the technical constraints of consumer electronics. A browser based i…
