Projects:2020s2-7410 Speech Enhancement for Automatic Speech Recognition

An increasing number of applications require the joint use of signal processing and AI techniques on time series and sensor data. These techniques can be used for the reduction of noises such as air conditioning, computer fan, or environmentally generated noises such as in a street, an airport, in a metro station, or in an airplane cockpit. Developing AI models for signal obtained from a variety of situations as exemplified above is not trivial, but these have been attempted using Recurrent and Convolutional Networks such as Speech Enhanced Generative Adversarial Neural networks (SEGAN).
