• Abstract: This paper introduces a shoebox room simulator able to systematically generate synthetic datasets of binaural room impulse responses (BRIRs) given an arbitrary set of head-related transfer functions (HRTFs). The evaluation of machine hearing algorithms frequently requires BRIR datasets in order to simulate the acoustics of any environment. However, currently available solutions typically consider only HRTFs measured on dummy heads, which poorly characterize the high variability in spatial sound perception. Our solution allows to integrate a room impulse response (RIR) simulator with different HRTF sets represented in Spatially Oriented Format for Acoustics (SOFA). The source code and the compiled binaries for different operating systems allow to both advanced and non-expert users to benefit from our toolbox, see https://github.com/spatialaudiotools/sofamyroom/ .

  This contribution introduces a dataset of 7th-order Ambisonic Room Impulse Responses (HOA-RIRs) created using the Image Source Method. By employing higher-order Ambisonics, our dataset enables precise spatial audio reproduction. The presented 64-microphone configuration allows us to capture RIRs directly in the Spherical Harmonics domain.

  view acoustic synthesis aims to render audio at any target viewpoint, given a mono audio emitted by a sound source at a 3D scene. Existing methods have proposed NeRF-based implicit models to exploit visual cues as a condition for synthesizing audio. We propose a novel Audio-Visual Gaussian Splatting (AV-GS) model to characterize the entire scene environment. Experiments validate the superiority of our AV-GS over existing alternatives on the real-world RWAS and simulation-based SoundSpaces datasets.

We explore how to infer RIRs based on a sparse set of images and echoes observed in the space. In experiments using a state-of-the-art audio-visual simulator for 3D environments, we demonstrate that our method successfully generates arbitrary RIRs.

• Bridging the Gap Between Clean Data Training and Real-World Inference for Spoken Language Understanding [76.89426311082927]
  Existing models are trained on clean data, which causes a textitgap between clean data training and real-world inference. We propose a method from the perspective of domain adaptation, by which both high- and low-quality samples are embedding into similar vector space. Experiments on the widely-used dataset, Snips, and large scale in-house dataset (10 million training examples) demonstrate that this method not only outperforms the baseline models on real-world (noisy) corpus but also enhances the robustness, that is, it produces high-quality results under a noisy environment.
