Computational Methods For Structured Sparse Component Analysis of Convolutive Speech Mixtures

Volkan Cevher, Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei

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 ...

On Application Of Non-Negative Matrix Factorization for Ad Hoc Microphone Array Calibration from Incomplete Noisy Distances

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

We propose to use non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to estimate the unknown pairwise distances and reconstruct a distance matrix for microphone array position calibration. We develop new multiplicative update rules for NMF with incomplete input matri ...

Robust Microphone Placement for Source Localization from Noisy Distance Measurements

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

We propose a novel algorithm to design an optimum array geometry for source localization inside an enclosure. We assume a square-law decay propagation model for the sound acquisition so that the additive noise on the measured source-microphone distances is ...

Novel GCC-PHAT Model in Diffuse Sound Field for Microphone Array Pairwise Distance Based Calibration

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

We propose a novel formulation of the generalized cross correlation with phase transform (GCC-PHAT) for a pair of microphones in diffuse sound field. This formulation elucidates the links between the microphone distances and the GCC-PHAT output. Hence, it ...

Phonological Posterior Hashing for Query by Example Spoken Term Detection

Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Dhananjay Ram

State of the art query by example spoken term detection (QbE-STD) systems in zero-resource conditions rely on representation of speech in terms of sequences of class-conditional posterior probabilities estimated by deep neural network (DNN). The posteriors ...

Speaker Direction Finding for Practical Systems: A Comparison of Different Approaches

Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

Speaker direction finding techniques have aroused interests due to achieving the capability of receiving high-quality dis- tant signals. Interesting concepts can be achieved through the comparison of such techniques whereby importance is in achieving high ...

Multi-party Speech Recovery Exploiting Structured Sparsity Models

Volkan Cevher, Hervé Bourlard, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

We study the sparsity of spectro-temporal representation of speech in reverberant acoustic conditions. This study motivates the use of structured sparsity models for efﬁcient speech recovery. We formulate the underdetermined convolutive speech separation i ...
