Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Beamforming technology plays a critical role in speech enhancement by isolating target speech from noise. This study firstly evaluates two classical and modern beamforming methods, namely Delay-Sum, CGMM-MVDR, and diverse microphone array geometries through simulated experiments, analyzing their capabilities in speech separation and intelligibility improvement. Key performance factors are examined through beampattern and spectral analysis. Accordingly, a novel post-processing mask optimization strategy is introduced to solve the critical deficiency in the time-frequency mask estimation of the CGMM-MVDR method, which yields significant performance gains. A prototype is developed that integrates a compact microphone array and embedded processing units to implement the enhanced CGMM-MVDR algorithm on portable devices. An Android application featuring gesture-based beam steering control is also designed and preliminarily validated in real-world scenarios. To improve device portability, we adopted the MQTT protocol to facilitate inter-device communication. This work bridges algorithmic improvements with practical implementation, offering insight into robust beamformer design and deployment for speech enhancement applications.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
