Smirnova, Alisa (author), Yang, J. (author), Yang, Dingqi (author), Cudre-Mauroux, Philippe (author)Noisy labels represent one of the key issues in supervised machine learning. Existing work for label noise reduction mainly takes a probabilistic approach that infers true labels from data distributions in low-level feature spaces. Such an approach is not only limited by its capability to learn high-quality data representations, but also by...journal article 2022

Zhang, D. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Bluyssen, P.M. (author)A recently published simulation-based study has demonstrated the effect of an individually controlled noise-reducing device (ICND) on improving acoustic quality in classrooms. As a follow-up research, this current study aims to develop a real ICND and test it with its target users-- primary school children. The prototype developed in this study...journal article 2021

Luesutthiviboon, S. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Snellen, M. (author)This study focuses upon a new permeable topology design concept as an alternative to porous metal foams, for turbulent boundary layer trailing-edge (TBL-TE) noise attenuation. The present permeable topology has unconventional characteristics with respect to the metal foams: a combination of low flow resistivity r and high form drag...journal article 2021

Teruna, C. (author), Rego, Leandro (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Casalino, D. (author)Porous materials have been widely investigated as a mean for noise reduction. Numerical simulations can be used to investigate the physical mechanisms responsible for noise reduction; however, a correct modeling of the porous medium through an equivalent fluid model is essential to minimize the computational costs. This paper reports a...journal article 2021

Zhang, J. (author)In speech processing applications, e.g., speech recognition, hearing aids (HAs), video conferencing, and human-computer interaction, speech enhancement or noise reduction is an essential front-end task, as the recorded speech signals are inevitably corrupted by interference, including coherent/incoherent noise and reverberation. Traditional...doctoral thesis 2020

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

Amini, J. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Guo, Meng (author), Jensen, Jesper (author)Wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs) can be used for centralized multi-microphone noise reduction, where the processing is done in a fusion center (FC). To perform the noise reduction, the data needs to be transmitted to the FC. Considering the limited battery life of the devices in a WASN, the total data rate at which the FC can...journal article 2020

Amini, J. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Guo, Meng (author), Jensen, Jesper (author)Compared to monaural hearing aids (HAs), binaural hearing aid systems, in which there is a communication link between the two devices, have improved noise reduction capabilities and the ability to preserve binaural spatial information. However, the limited HA battery lifetime puts constraints on the amount of information that can be shared...journal article 2020

Malgoezar, A.M.N. (author), Vieira, A.E. (author), Snellen, M. (author), Simons, D.G. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author)Ducted propellers are an interesting design choice for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) concepts due to a potential increase of the propeller efficiency. In such designs, it is commonly assumed that introducing the duct also results in an overall noise reduction. The objective of this work is to experimentally analyze and quantify noise of a...review 2019

Koutrouvelis, A. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Jensen, Jesper (author)The recently proposed relaxed binaural beamforming (RBB) optimization problem provides a flexible tradeoff between noise suppression and binaural-cue preservation of the sound sources in the acoustic scene. It minimizes the output noise power, under the constraints, which guarantee that the target remains unchanged after processing and the...journal article 2019

Rubio Carpio, A. (author), Merino Martinez, R. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author), Snellen, M. (author), van der Zwaag, S. (author)The hydrodynamic and acoustic fields for a NACA 0018 with solid and porous trailing edge inserts are investigated. The porous inserts, covering 20% of the chord, are manufactured with metal foams with cell diameters of 450 and 800 μm and permeability values of 6 × 10−10 and 2.7 × 10−9 m2. The experiments are performed at a chord-based Reynolds...journal article 2019

(author)Studies on porous trailing edges, manufactured with open-cell Ni-Cr-Al foams with sub-millimeter pore sizes, have shown encouraging results for the mitigation of turbulent boundary-layer trailing-edge noise. However, the achieved noise mitigation is typically dependent upon the pore geometry, which is fixed after manufacturing. In this study,...journal article 2019

Zhang, J. (author), Koutrouvelis, A. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)In this letter, we propose a decentralized framework for rate-distributed linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) beamforming in wireless acoustic sensor networks. To save the energy usage within the network, we propose to minimize the transmission cost and put a constraint on the noise reduction performance. Subsequently, we...journal article 2019

Zhang, J. (author), Heusdens, R. (author), Hendriks, R.C. (author)In wireless acoustic sensor networks (WASNs), sensors typically have a limited energy budget as they are often battery driven. Energy efficiency is therefore essential to the design of algorithms in WASNs. One way to reduce energy costs is to only select the sensors which are most informative, a problem known as sensor selection. In this way,...journal article 2018

Ahmadi Mehr, S.A.R. (author), Tohidian, M. (author), Staszewski, R.B. (author)In this paper, we exploit an idea of coupling multiple oscillators to reduce phase noise (PN) to beyond the limit of what has been practically achievable so far in a bulk CMOS technology. We then apply it to demonstrate for the first time an RF oscillator that meets the most stringent PN requirements of cellular basestation receivers while...journal article 2016
