This paper presents a domain adaptation model for sound event detection. A common challenge for sound event detection is how to deal with the mismatch among different datasets. Typically, the performance of a model will decrease if it is tested on a dataset which is different from the one that the model is trained on. To address this problem, based on convolutional recurrent neural networks (CRNNs), we propose an adapted CRNN (A-CRNN) as an unsupervised adversarial domain adaptation model for sound event detection.

Polyphonic sound event detection and direction-of-arrival estimation require different input features from audio signals. While sound event detection mainly relies on time-frequency patterns, direction-of-arrival estimation relies on magnitude or phase differences between microphones. Previous approaches use the same input features for sound event detection and direction-of-arrival estimation, and train the two tasks jointly or in a two-stage transfer-learning manner.

Time-delay estimation is an essential building block of many signal processing applications. This paper follows up on earlier work for acoustic source localization and time delay estimation using pattern recognition techniques; it presents high performance results obtained with supervised training of neural networks which challenge the state of the art and compares its performance to that of well-known methods such as the Generalized Cross-Correlation or Adaptive Eigenvalue Decomposition.

Speaker segmentation is an essential part of any diarization system.Applications of diarization include tasks such as speaker indexing, improving automatic speech recognition (ASR) performance and making single speaker-based algorithms available for use in multi-speaker environments.This paper proposes a multiple hypothesis tracking (MHT) method that exploits the harmonic structure associated with the pitch in voiced speech in order to segment the onsets and end-points of speech from multiple, overlapping speakers.

Selective hearing (SH) refers to the listeners' capability to focus their attention on a specific sound source or a group of sound sources in their auditory scene. This in turn implies that the listeners' focus is minimized for sources that are of no interest.
This paper describes the current landscape of machine listening research, and outlines ways in which these technologies can be leveraged to achieve SH with computational means.

In this paper, we propose novel deep learning based algorithms for multiple sound source localization. Specifically, we aim to find the 2D Cartesian coordinates of multiple sound sources in an enclosed environment by using multiple microphone arrays. To this end, we use an encoding-decoding architecture and propose two improvements on it to accomplish the task. In addition, we also propose two novel localization representations which increase the accuracy.

A differential acoustic OFDM technique is presented to embed data imperceptibly in existing music. The method allows playing back music containing the data with a speaker without users noticing the embedded data channel. Using a microphone, the data can be recovered from the recording. Experiments with smartphone microphones show that transmission distances of 24 meters are possible, while achieving bit error ratios of less than 10 percent, depending on the environment.

The intelligibility of speech in noise can be improved by modifying the speech. But with object-based audio, there
is the possibility of altering the background sound while leaving the speech unaltered. This may prove a less intrusive approach, affording good speech intelligibility without overly compromising the perceived sound quality. In this

Automobiles have become an essential part of everyday lives. In this work, we attempt to make them smarter by introducing the idea of in-car driver authentication using wireless sensing. Our aim is to develop a model which can recognize drivers automatically. Firstly, we address the problem of "changing in-car environments", where the existing wireless sensing based human identification system fails. To this end, we build the first in-car driver radio biometric dataset to understand the effect of changing environments on human radio biometrics.
