Neural-WDRC: A Deep Learning Wide Dynamic Range Compression Method Combined With Controllable Noise Reduction for Hearing Aids.

Trends in hearing
Wide dynamic range compression (WDRC) and noise reduction both play important roles in hearing aids. WDRC provides level-dependent amplification so that the level of sound produced by the hearing aid falls between the hearing threshold and the highes...

Speech intelligibility prediction based on a physiological model of the human ear and a hierarchical spiking neural network.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
A speech intelligibility (SI) prediction model is proposed that includes an auditory preprocessing component based on the physiological anatomy and activity of the human ear, a hierarchical spiking neural network, and a decision back-end processing b...

Using deep learning to improve the intelligibility of a target speaker in noisy multi-talker environments for people with normal hearing and hearing loss.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Understanding speech in noisy environments is a challenging task, especially in communication situations with several competing speakers. Despite their ongoing improvement, assistive listening devices and speech processing approaches still do not per...

Recovering speech intelligibility with deep learning and multiple microphones in noisy-reverberant situations for people using cochlear implants.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
For cochlear implant (CI) listeners, holding a conversation in noisy and reverberant environments is often challenging. Deep-learning algorithms can potentially mitigate these difficulties by enhancing speech in everyday listening environments. This ...

Content-Noise Feature Fusion Neural Network for Image Denoising in Magnetic Particle Imaging.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a tomographic imaging method that quantitatively determines the distribution of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). However, the performance of MPI is primarily limited by the noise in the receive coil and electronic dev...

Neural network for multi-exponential sound energy decay analysis.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
An established model for sound energy decay functions (EDFs) is the superposition of multiple exponentials and a noise term. This work proposes a neural-network-based approach for estimating the model parameters from EDFs. The network is trained on s...

Acoustic Based Footstep Detection in Pervasive Healthcare.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Passive detection of footsteps in domestic settings can allow the development of assistive technologies that can monitor mobility patterns of older adults in their home environment. Acoustic footstep detection is a promising approach for non-intrusiv...

Removing Noise from Extracellular Neural Recordings Using Fully Convolutional Denoising Autoencoders.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Extracellular recordings are severely contaminated by a considerable amount of noise sources, rendering the denoising process an extremely challenging task that should be tackled for efficient spike sorting. To this end, we propose an end-to-end deep...

Classification of fNIRS data with LDA and SVM: a proof-of-concept for application in infant studies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This study presents the implementation of a within-subject classification method, based on the use of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Support Vector Machines (SVM), for the classification of hemodynamic responses. Using a synthetic dataset tha...

Underwater acoustic target recognition using attention-based deep neural network.

JASA express letters
Underwater acoustic target recognition based on ship-radiated noise is difficult owing to the complex marine environment and the interference by multiple targets. As an important technology for target recognition, deep-learning has high accuracy but ...
