A Study on More Realistic Room Simulation for Far-Field Keyword Spotting

We investigate the impact of more realistic room simulation for training far-field keyword spotting systems without fine-tuning on in-domain data. To this end, we study the impact of incorporating the following factors in the room impulse response (RIR) ge ...

Pyramic: Full Stack Open Microphone Array Architecture And Dataset

René Beuchat, Robin Scheibler, Corentin Ferry

In this paper we introduce an open source and reproducible microphone array hardware design and an anechoic dataset recorded with this array. The Pyramic array has 48 microphones spread onto six identical modules connected to an FPGA-ARM combo. The arrange ...

Combining Range and Direction for Improved Localization

Martin Vetterli, Adam James Scholefield, Robin Scheibler, Gilles Baechler, Frederike Dümbgen, Miranda Krekovic, Golnooshsadat Elhami

Self-localization of nodes in a sensor network is typically achieved using either range or direction measurements; in this paper, we show that a constructive combination of both improves the estimation. We propose two localization algorithms that make use ...

FRIDA: FRI-Based DOA Estimation For Arbitrary Array Layouts

Martin Vetterli, Eric Bezzam, Ivan Dokmanic, Robin Scheibler, Hanjie Pan

In this paper we present FRIDA—an algorithm for estimating directions of arrival of multiple wideband sound sources. FRIDA combines multi-band information coherently and achieves state- of-the-art resolution at extremely low signal-to-noise ratios. It work ...

The recursive Hessian sketch for adaptive filtering

Martin Vetterli, Robin Scheibler

We introduce in this paper the recursive Hessian sketch, a new adaptive filtering algorithm based on sketching the same exponentially weighted least squares problem solved by the recursive least squares algorithm. The algorithm maintains a number of sketch ...
