Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The proposed fellowship would support a visit from Professor Jacob Benesty to Imperial College London, with the main aims of: (i) developing a collaborative relationship between Benesty's group at INRS and the Communications and Signal Processing group at Imperial College London; and (ii) undertaking fundamental research on the use of blind channel identification in speech enhancement algorithms. The investigators have recently been awarded an EPSRC grant on developing signal processing algorithms for enhancing reverberant speech, and the proposed visit is designed to develop further the existing portfolio of research. Benesty Is at the forefront of developing adaptive algorithms for blind multi-channel estimation, with particular emphasis on acoustic channels. During the visit, we will leverage Benesty's expertise to collaboratively investigate the feasibility of using blind channel identification in conjunction with the speech enhancement algorithms being developing at Imperial College London. This study will involve both analytical and experimental analysis. The planned outcomes of the visit include jointly-authored articles on speech enhancement, blind channel estimation, and related topics.The knowledge and experience gained from collaborating with Benesty during the visit will be directly relevant to further developments in signal processing algorithms for speech communications generally. It is expected that further developments will be formulated into external publications, PhD student projects, and/or a research proposal for presentation to both UK industry and EPSRC.
