Spatial Sound Localization via Multipath Euclidean Distance Matrix Recovery

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Philip Neil Garner, Saeid Haghighatshoar

A novel localization approach is proposed in order to find the position of an individual source using recordings of a single microphone in a reverberant enclosure. The multipath propagation is modeled by multiple virtual microphones as images of the actual ...

Structured Sparsity Models for Reverberant Speech Separation

Hervé Bourlard, Mohammad Golbabaee, Afsaneh Asaei, Volkan Cevher

We tackle the multi-party speech recovery problem through modeling the acoustic of the reverberant chambers. Our approach exploits structured sparsity models to perform room modeling and speech recovery. We propose a scheme for characterizing the room acou ...

Manifold Sparse Beamforming

Afsaneh Asaei, Volkan Cevher, Baran Gözcü

We consider the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming problems where the array covariance matrix is rank deficient. The conventional approach handles such rank-deficiencies via diagonal loading on the covariance matrix. In this settin ...

Computational Methods For Structured Sparse Component Analysis of Convolutive Speech Mixtures

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Volkan Cevher

We cast the under-determined convolutive speech separation as sparse approximation of the spatial spectra of the mixing sources. In this framework we compare and contrast the major practical algorithms for structured sparse recovery of speech signal. Speci ...

Structured Sparse Coding for Microphone Array Location Calibration

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Volkan Cevher

We address the problem of microphone location cali- bration where the sensor positions have a sparse spatial approximation on a discretized grid. We characterize the microphone signals as a sparse vector represented over a codebook of multi-channel signals ...
