Single Microphone Own Voice Detection based on Simulated Transfer Functions for Hearing Aids

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a simulation-based method for detecting a user's own voice in hearing aids using only a single microphone. It employs a data augmentation strategy with simulated acoustic transfer functions to train a transformer classifier, achieving over 90% accuracy on both simulated and real-world recordings. The approach reduces hardware complexity and power consumption while maintaining robust performance across varied spatial conditions.

How to Leverage Synthetic Speech for LLM-Based ASR Systems?

arXiv:2606. 29031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In regulated domains such as banking and healthcare, where privacy constraints make real speech costly to collect and retain, synthetic speech from modern text-to-speech (TTS) is an appealing alternative for training automatic speech recognition (ASR) without exposing sensitive customer recordings.

Training DeepFilterNet with Accurate Room Acoustic Simulations Improves Single-Channel Speech Enhancement

The study examines how the realism of synthetic room impulse response (RIR) datasets influences the training of DeepFilterNet3 for single‑channel speech enhancement. By comparing a DNS4 image‑source‑method RIR set with a higher‑fidelity hybrid wave‑based and geometrical acoustics RIR set, the authors find that the more realistic dataset consistently improves objective speech enhancement metrics and significantly reduces ASR word error rates on unseen measured RIRs. The results suggest that overall realism in synthetic acoustic training data enhances DeepFilterNet3’s generalization to new environments.
