1st International Workshop on
Challenges in Hearing Assistive Technology (CHAT-2017)
ISCA Satellite Workshop of Interspeech 2017
Stockholm, August 19th 2017
----------------------------------
The aim of this ISCA-sponsored workshop is to bring together people from the speech and hearing research communities to explore fresh approaches to hearing assistive technology. The workshop will be a full day event with two keynote speakers and a mix of oral and poster presentations. The event is an official ISCA Interspeech Satellite workshop but is open to all (Interspeech registration is not required.)
Workshop registration will close on August 13th. No on-site registration. A small number of places are still available.
Keynote talks:
- Volker Hohmann, Universität Oldenburg, "Space-aware hearing devices - Making hearing aids smarter"
- Enrique A. Lopez-Poveda, University of Salamanca, "Better hearing in noise with binaural prostheses inspired by the contralateral medial olivocochlear reflex"
Oral presentations:
- Denk et al. "The Acoustically Transparent Hearing Device: Towards Integration of Individualized Sound Equalization, Electro-Acoustic Modeling and Feedback Cancellation."
- Gößling, Marquardt and Doclo. "Comparison of RTF Estimation Methods between a Head-Mounted Binaural Hearing Device and an External Microphone."
- Huckvale and Hilkhuysen. "On the Predictability of the Intelligibility of Speech to Hearing Impaired Listeners."
- Kitamura et al,. "Individuality-Preserving Speech Synthesis System for Hearing Loss Using Deep Neural Networks."
- Kodrasi, Marquardt and Doclo. "A Simulation Study on Binaural Dereverberation and Noise Reduction based on Diffuse Power Spectral Density Estimators."
- Sunohara, Haruta and Ono. "Low-Latency Real-Time Blind Source Separation with Binaural Directional Hearing Aids."
Plus 20 poster presentations covering themes including auditory profiling, audio-visual processing, DNN-based signal enhancement, novel noise suppression strategies, CI stimulation strategies, intelligibility modelling and more.
