• Abstract: Recent years have seen a surge in the number of available frameworks for speech enhancement (SE) and recognition. Whether model-based or constructed via deep learning, these frameworks often rely in isolation on either time-domain signals or time-frequency (TF) representations of speech data. In this study, we investigate the advantages of each set of approaches by separately examining their impact on speech intelligibility and quality. Furthermore, we combine the fragmented benefits of time-domain and TF speech representations by introducing two new cross-domain SE frameworks. A quantitative comparative analysis against recent model-based and deep learning SE approaches is performed to illustrate the merit of the proposed frameworks.

  Despite the crucial role relational thinking plays in human understanding of speech, it has yet to be leveraged in any artificial speech recognition systems. This paper presents a novel spectro-temporal relational thinking based acoustic modeling framework. Models built upon this framework outperform stateof-the-art systems with a 7.82% improvement in phoneme recognition tasks over the TIMIT dataset.

  Few-shot action recognition (FSAR) aims to learn a model capable of identifying novel actions in videos using only a few examples. In assuming the base dataset seen during meta-training and novel dataset used for evaluation can come from different domains, cross-domain few-shot learning alleviates data collection and annotation costs. We systematically evaluate existing state-of-the-art single-domain, transfer-based, and cross-domain FSAR methods on new cross-domain tasks.

  We propose two novel techniques to improve audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR) under a pre-training and fine-tuning training framework. First, we explore the correlation between lip shapes and syllable-level subword units in Mandarin to establish good frame-level syllable boundaries from lip shapes. Next, we propose an audio-guided cross-modal fusion encoder (CMFE) neural network to utilize main training parameters for multiple cross-modal attention layers.

  We propose a sub-band based speech enhancement system with perceptually-motivated optimization and dual transformations, called PT-FSE. Our proposed model achieves substantial improvements over its backbone, but also outperforms the current state-of-the-art while being 27% smaller than the SOTA. With average NB-PESQ of 3.57 on the benchmark dataset, our system offers the best speech enhancement results reported till date.

  Few-shot object segmentation (FS-VOS) aims at segmenting video frames using a few labelled examples of classes not seen during initial training.

  We propose a new approach to under-stand actions in egocentric videos that exploits the semantics of object interactions at both frame and temporal levels. We use a region-based approach that takes as input a primary region roughly corresponding to the user hands and a set of secondary regions potentially corresponding to the interacting objects. The proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of action recognition on standard benchmarks.
