Zhang, Jie (author), Chen, Huawei (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)Multi-microphone speech enhancement methods typically require a reference position with respect to which the target signal is estimated. Often, this reference position is arbitrarily chosen as one of the reference microphones. However, it has been shown that the choice of the reference microphone can have a significant impact on the final...journal article 2020

Zhang, Qian (author), Su, Min (author), Yao, Peng (author), Chen, Yongping (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)Tidal currents belong to the main driving forces shaping the bathymetry of marginal seas. A globally unique radial sand ridge field exists in the South Yellow Sea off the central Jiangsu coast, China. Its formation is related to the distinctive “radial tidal current” pattern at that location. A generally accepted hypothesis is that the ...journal article 2020

Zhang, T. (author), Ali, Abdallah El (author), Chen, C. (author), Hanjalic, A. (author), Cesar, Pablo (author)Recognizing user emotions while they watch short-form videos anytime and anywhere is essential for facilitating video content customization and personalization. However, most works either classify a single emotion per video stimuli, or are restricted to static, desktop environments. To address this, we propose a correlation-based emotion...journal article 2020
