Computational Auditory Scene Analysis algorithms for improving speech commu-nication in complex acoustic environments (B02)

• Subject Area: Acoustics
• Term: since 2018
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 352015383

The long-term goal of this project is to achieve a breakthrough in the theoretical foundation and realization of auditory-inspired algorithms for analysing and processing speech in complex acoustic conditions, in order to fundamentally improve speech communication in these conditions for people with hearing difficul-ties. Main research questions are to determine the most promising auditory-inspired and technical pro-cessing principles, to identify the possibilities of exploiting machine learning techniques, to optimally inte-grate the different processing principles and to realize demonstrators that optimally support specific appli-cations such as hearing aids, cochlear implants and assistive listening devices.
