The Signal
Processing research group at the Universität Hamburg (http://uhh.de/inf-sp)
is hiring a research associate (PhD candidate) for the project "Ego-Noise
Reduction for Interactive Robots". Speech-controlled assistants such
as robots, smartphones and smart speakers are gaining increased
popularity. Users expect these devices to also work well in noise.
Thus, speech enhancement algorithms are required to improve
automatic speech recognition performance. For robots, a particular
problem is that motors and cooling fans produce noise themselves,
so-called ego-noise. This project aims at finding novel solutions
for speech enhancement by taking the ego-noise of robots into
account. For this, modern methods from signal processing and
neural networks are to be applied.
