Unrestricted Global Phase Bias-Aware Single-channel Speech Enhancement with Conformer-based Metric GAN
With the rapid development of neural networks in recent years, the ability of various networks to enhance the magnitude spectrum of noisy speech in the single-channel speech enhancement domain has become exceptionally outstanding. However, enhancing the phase spectrum using neural networks is often ineffective, which remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we found that the human ear cannot sensitively perceive the difference between a precise phase spectrum and a biased phase (BP) spectrum. Therefore, we propose an optimization method of phase reconstruction, allowing freedom on the global-phase bias instead of reconstructing the precise phase spectrum. We applied it to a Conformer-based Metric Generative Adversarial Networks (CMGAN) baseline model, which relaxes the existing constraints of precise phase and gives the neural network a broader learning space. Results show that this method achieves a new state-of-the-art performance without incurring additional computational overhead.

Dynamic 3-D measurement based on fringe-to-fringe transformation using deep learning
Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) has become increasingly important in dynamic 3-D shape measurement. In FPP, it is necessary to retrieve the phase of the measured object before shape profiling. However, traditional p…
RetrievalHow to send a real number using a single bit (and some shared randomness)
We consider the fundamental problem of communicating an estimate of a real number $x\in[0,1]$ using a single bit. A sender that knows $x$ chooses a value $X\in\set{0,1}$ to transmit. In turn, a receiver estimates $x$ bas…
Global AI Bias Audit for Technical Governance
This paper presents the outputs of the exploratory phase of a global audit of Large Language Models (LLMs) project. In this exploratory phase, I used the Global AI Dataset (GAID) Project as a framework to stress-test the…
Semiparametric Preference Optimization: Your Language Model is Secretly a Single-Index Model
Policy alignment to preference data typically assumes a known link function between observed preferences and latent rewards (e.g., Bradley-Terry model / logistic link). Misspecification of this link can bias inferred rew…
GatedLinear: Adaptive Routing of Complementary Linear Bases for Time Series Forecasting
Time series forecasting requires models to capture diverse, often mutually exclusive, temporal dynamics, from smooth trend continuation to nonstationary drift and strict phase-aligned recurrence. While recent deep learni…
