International audienceThe separation of speech signals measured at multiple microphones in noisy and reverberant environments using only the audio modality has limitations because there is generally insufficient information to fully dis- criminate the different sound sources. Humans miti- gate this problem by exploiting the visual modality, which is insensitive to background noise and can provide contextual information about the audio scene. This advantage has inspired the creation of the new field of audiovisual (AV) speech source separation that targets exploiting visual modality alongside the microphone measurements in a machine. Success in this emerging field will expand the application of voice- based machine interfaces, such as Siri,theintelligentpersonal assistant on the iPhone and iPad, to much more realis- tic settings and thereby provide more natural human-machine interfaces
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
