The Differentiable Auditory Loop (DAL): An ML Framework for Hyper-Personalized Hearing Aids

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 04103v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conventional hearing aids rely on fixed, frequency-dependent amplification and compression to manage reduced sensitivity, which often fails to provide sufficient listening support in complex environments, such as situations with multiple speakers (the ``cocktail party'' problem).

Encoder-Side Neuron Identification and Amplification for Acoustic Perception in Large Audio-Language Models

arXiv:2607. 11801v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large audio-language models (LALMs) often underperform on fine-grained, non-semantic attributes of speech, such as a speaker's emotion, despite strong performance on speech content.
