Speaker extraction aims to mimic humans' selective auditory attention by extracting a target
speaker's voice from a multi-talker environment. It is common to perform the extraction in …

The machine recognition of speech spoken at a distance from the microphones, known as
far-field automatic speech recognition (ASR), has received a significant increase in attention …

Speech enhancement (SE) aims to reduce noise in speech signals. Most SE techniques
focus only on addressing audio information. In this paper, inspired by multimodal learning …
