Einladung zur hochschulöffentlichen Disputation im Rahmen des Promotionsverfahrens von Jean-Marie Lemercier

Titel der Dissertation: Model-based Techniques and Diffusion Models for Speech Dereverberation

Reverberation degrades speech quality, especially for hearing-impaired listeners. Dereverberation, a complex task, often uses blind algorithms due to unknown room acoustics. Traditional methods struggle in adverse conditions, while deep learning (DNN) approaches excel but lack adaptability and interpretability. This thesis explores hybrid models combining DNNs with domain knowledge, diffusion-based generative models, and unsupervised methods for improved dereverberation, focusing on real-life applications like hearing devices.
The presentation will be given in English.
