A Comparative Study of Invariance-Aware Loss Functions for Deep Learning-based Gridless Direction-of-Arrival Estimation

ICASSP 2025accepted

(Covariance matrix reconstruction has been the most widely used guiding objective in gridless direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation for sparse linear arrays. Many semidefinite programming (SDP)-based methods fall under this category. Although deep learning-based approaches enable the construction of…

A Structured Neural Network Approach for Learning Improved Iterative Algorithms for SBL

ICASSP 2025accepted

Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL) is a popular sparse signal recovery method, and various algorithms exist under the SBL paradigm. In this paper, we introduce a novel re-parameterization that allows the iterations of existing algorithms to be viewed as special cases of a unified and general mapping fun…

SDA-LLM: Spatial DisAmbiguation via Multi-turn Vision-Language Dialogues for Robot Navigation

IROS 2025

When users give natural language instructions to service robots, positional information is often referenced relative to objects in the environment rather than absolute coordinates. However, humans naturally use relative references. For example, in“Go to the chair and pick up empty bottles”, where th

A DNN Based Normalized Time-Frequency Weighted Criterion for Robust Wideband DoA Estimation

ICASSP 2023accepted

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have greatly benefited direction of arrival (DoA) estimation methods for speech source localization in noisy environments. However, their localization accuracy is still far from satisfactory due to the vulnerability to nonspeech interference. To improve the robustness aga…

Leveraging Heteroscedastic Uncertainty in Learning Complex Spectral Mapping for Single-Channel Speech Enhancement

ICASSP 2023accepted

Most speech enhancement (SE) models learn a point estimate and do not make use of uncertainty estimation in the learning process. In this paper, we show that modeling heteroscedastic uncertainty by minimizing a multivariate Gaussian negative log-likelihood (NLL) improves SE performance at no extra c…

Improved Bounds on Neural Complexity for Representing Piecewise Linear Functions

NeurIPS 2022accept

A deep neural network using rectified linear units represents a continuous piecewise linear (CPWL) function and vice versa. Recent results in the literature estimated that the number of neurons needed to exactly represent any CPWL function grows exponentially with the number of pieces or exponential…

ResNEsts and DenseNEsts: Block-based DNN Models with Improved Representation Guarantees

NeurIPS 2021poster

Models recently used in the literature proving residual networks (ResNets) are better than linear predictors are actually different from standard ResNets that have been widely used in computer vision. In addition to the assumptions such as scalar-valued output or single residual block, the models fu…
