Binary Sparse Coding of Convolutive Mixtures for Sound Localization and Separation via Spatialization

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Saeid Haghighatshoar

We propose a sparse coding approach to address the problem of source-sensor localization and speech reconstruction. This approach relies on designing a dictionary of spatialized signals by projecting the microphone array recordings into the array manifolds ...

‪Stochastic Control-A Moment Approach to Sparse Control Design‬

We consider design of sparse controllers for a stochastic linear system with infinite horizon quadratic objective. We formulate the non-sparse optimal solution through a semidefinite program for the second order moments of the states and inputs. Given that ...

Estimation Error of the Constrained Lasso

Volkan Cevher, Yen-Huan Li, Ya-Ping Hsieh, Nissim Zerbib

This paper presents a non-asymptotic upper bound for the estimation error of the constrained lasso, under the high-dimensional (

n \ll p

) setting. In contrast to existing results, the error bound in this paper is sharp, is valid when the parameter to be e ...

Signal structure: from manifolds to molecules and structured sparsity

Sofia Karygianni

Effective representation methods and proper signal priors are crucial in most signal processing applications. In this thesis we focus on different structured models and we design appropriate schemes that allow the discovery of low dimensional latent struct ...

On Compressibility of Neural Network phonological Features for Low Bit Rate Speech Coding

Hervé Bourlard, Milos Cernak, Afsaneh Asaei

Phonological features extracted by neural network have shown interesting potential for low bit rate speech vocoding. The span of phonological features is wider than the span of phonetic features, and thus fewer frames need to be transmitted. Moreover, the ...

Structured Sparsity Models for Reverberant Speech Separation

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammad Golbabaee

We tackle the multi-party speech recovery problem through modeling the acoustic of the reverberant chambers. Our approach exploits structured sparsity models to perform room modeling and speech recovery. We propose a scheme for characterizing the room acou ...

Jump-Sparse and Sparse Recovery Using Potts Functionals

Martin Kurt Storath

We recover jump-sparse and sparse signals from blurred incomplete data corrupted by (possibly non-Gaussian) noise using inverse Potts energy functionals. We obtain analytical results (existence of minimizers, complexity) on inverse Potts functionals and pr ...

Sparse Gammatone Signal Model Predicts Perceived Noise Intrusiveness

Hervé Bourlard, Raphaël Marc Ullmann

Is it possible to predict the intrusiveness of background noise in speech signals as perceived by humans? Such a question is important to the automatic evaluation of speech enhancement systems, including those designed for new wideband speech telephony, an ...

Model-based Sparse Component Analysis for Reverberant Speech Localization

Hervé Bourlard, Volkan Cevher, Afsaneh Asaei, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh

In this paper, the problem of multiple speaker localization via speech separation based on model-based sparse recovery is studies. We compare and contrast computational sparse optimization methods incorporating harmonicity and block structures as well as a ...

A geometric framework for registration of sparse images

Pascal Frossard, Alhussein Fawzi

We examine the problem of image registration when images have a sparse representation in a dictionary of geometric features. We propose a novel algorithm for aligning images by pairing their sparse components. We show numerically that this algorithm works ...
