Observation of non-reciprocal harmonic conversion in real sounds

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Hervé Lissek, Xinxin Guo

Reciprocity guarantees that in most media, sound transmission is symmetric between two points of space when the location of the source and receiver are interchanged. This fundamental law can be broken in non-linear media, often at the cost of detrimental i ...

Radical Intangibles: Materializing the Ephemeral

Sarah Irene Brutton Kenderdine, Lillian Hibberd, Jeffrey Shaw

New materialism considers that the world and its histories are produced by a range of material forces that extend from the physical and the biological to the psychological, social and cultural. In recognizing that heritage is not held in objects alone, new ...

Multi-task Neural Network for Robust Multiple Speaker Embedding Extraction

Jean-Marc Odobez, Petr Motlicek, Weipeng He

This paper introduces a novel approach for extracting speaker embeddings from audio mixtures of multiple overlapping voices. This approach is based on a multi-task neural network. The network first extracts a latent feature for each direction. This feature ...

ASAP: a Dataset of Aligned Scores and Performances for Piano Transcription

Andrew Philip McLeod

In this paper we present Aligned Scores and Performances (ASAP): a new dataset of 222 digital musical scores aligned with 1068 performances (more than 92 hours) of Western classical piano music.The scores are provided as paired MusicXML files and quantized ...

System fusion and speaker linking for longitudinal diarization of TV shows

Hervé Bourlard, Petr Motlicek

Performing speaker diarization while uniquely identifying the speakers in a collection of audio recordings is a challenging task. Based on our previous work on speaker diarization and linking, we developed a system for diarizing longitudinal TV show data s ...

Dynamic Range Limiting of HRTFs: Principle and Objective evaluation

Hervé Lissek, Patrick Marmaroli, Gilles André Courtois, Lukas Rohr

This research addresses the challenge of incorporating dynamic range limiting of the magnitude response of HRTFs for hearing-impaired listeners who are using binaural hearing aids. In this application, a direct implementation of spatialization using the or ...

Audio-based Positioning and Target Localization for Swarms of Micro Aerial Vehicles

Meysam Basiri

Swarms of autonomous MAVs show great potential in many diverse applications. In a search and rescue mission, a group of MAVs could quickly reach disaster areas by flying over obstacles, cluttered and inaccessible terrains, and work in parallel to detect an ...

Audio-Visual Fusion : New Methods and Applications

Anna Llagostera Casanovas

The perception that we have about the world is influenced by elements of diverse nature. Indeed humans tend to integrate information coming from different sensory modalities to better understand their environment. Following this observation, scientists hav ...

Unsupervised Extraction of Audio-Visual Objects

Pierre Vandergheynst, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

We propose a novel method to automatically detect and extract the video modality of the sound sources that are present in a scene. For this purpose, we first assess the synchrony between the moving objects captured with a video camera and the sounds record ...

Audio-based nonlinear video diffusion

Pierre Vandergheynst, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

We propose a novel non-linear video diffusion approach which is able to focus on parts of a video sequence that are relevant for applications in audio-visual analysis. The diffusion process is controlled by a diffusion coefﬁcient based on an estimate of th ...

Estimating Dominance in Multi-Party Meetings Using Speaker Diarization

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Yan Huang

With the increase in cheap commercially available sensors, recording meetings is becoming an increasingly practical option. With this trend comes the need to summarize the recorded data in semantically meaningful ways. Here, we investigate the task of auto ...

Multimodal Speaker Localization from Omnidirectional Videos

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Mihai Gurban, Pascal Reuse

The use of omnidirectional cameras for videoconferencing promises to simplify the hardware setup necessary for large groups of participants. We investigate the use of a multimodal speaker detection algorithm on audio-visual sequences captured with such a c ...

Learning bimodal structure in audio-visual data

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci

A novel model is presented to learn bimodally informative structures from audio-visual signals. The signal is represented as a sparse sum of audio- visual kernels. Each kernel is a bimodal function consisting of synchronous snippets of an audio waveform an ...
