Latest Patents

Yang is associated with 1 patent, titled “Leveraging Self-Supervised Speech Representations for Domain Adaptation in Speech Enhancement.” The invention describes a method for creating a customized speech-enhancement model using noisy-clean speech data from a source domain, noisy speech data from a target domain, and raw speech data. It trains the model using techniques that may include self-supervised representation-based adaptation, ensemble mapping, or a self-supervised adaptation loss. The trained model denoises target-domain speech, and the customized model is provided to a user device.

Career Highlights

Yang’s listed work at Samsung Electronics connects his inventive activity with speech-processing technology. The patent addresses the challenge of adapting speech enhancement to target domains where paired noisy and clean training data may be limited.
