Integrating biologically-inspired auditory models into deep learning

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to discover how a biologically inspired auditory model can be tightly integrated into a state-of-the-art deep learning speech processing framework, to model, design and verify a deep learning based auditory model. Voice-based technologies, ranging from cochlear implants to smart homes, are growing at a rapid pace and speech interfaces are being integrated with all aspects of our lives. However, there is a growing demand to improve these voice-enabled services, making them more secure and less open to cyber-crime attack by unauthorised users. The project is expected to improve techniques for modelling and automatic processing of speech and audio signals, which should provide significant benefits, including improved voice biometrics and cochlear implants.
