Featured Research

Speech Enhancement: NMF meets Kalman filter dynamics for high-quality speech enhancement in non-stationary noise.

Non-negative data arise in a variety of important signal processing domains, such as power spectra of signals, pixels in images, and count data. We introduce a novel non-negative dynamical system for sequences of such data, and describe its application to modeling speech and audio power spectra. [learn more]
