An electronic device comprising circuitry configured to separate by audio source separation a first audio input signal into a first vocal signal and an accompaniment, and to transpose an audio output signal by a transposition value based on a pitch ratio, wherein the pitch ratio is based on comparing a first pitch range of the first vocal signal and a second pitch range of the second vocal signal.

Audio transposition

An electronic device having a circuitry configured to perform audio source separation on an audio input signal to obtain a separated source and configured to perform audio dubbing on the separated source based on replacement conditions to obtain a personalized separated source.

Audio source separation and audio dubbing

A method comprising a deep learning based translation system translating a source sentence from language A to a target sentence in language B, placing constraints on the target sentence in language B.

Electronic device, method and computer program

An apparatus comprising circuitry that implements an artificial neural network training algorithm that uses weight tying.

Apparatus and method for training neural networks using weight tying

An electronic device for a vehicle comprising circuitry configured to obtain information about a planned maneuver of the vehicle; and circuitry configured to determine the position and/or orientation of a sound field based on the information about the planned maneuver of the vehicle.

A computer-implemented method of training an artificial neural network (ANN) by generating a first learned parameter for use in normalising input data values during a subsequent inference phase of the trained ANN. The method includes, for each of a series of batches of training data values, deriving a batch variance of the batch of training data values and a running variance of all training data values already processed in the training phase; generating an approximation of a current value of the first learned parameter so that a first scaling factor dependent upon the approximation of the first learned parameter and the running variance, is constrained to be equal to a power of two; and normalizing the batch of input data values by a second scaling factor dependent upon the approximation of the current value of the first learned parameter and the batch variance.

Artificial neural network

It is disclosed a method comprising obtaining a target spectrum, obtaining a set of non-target spectra, the set of non-target spectra comprising one or more non-target spectra, summing the target spectrum and the set of non-target spectra to obtain a mixture spectrum, and training an artificial neural network by using the mixture spectrum as input of the neural network and by using a spectrum which is based on the target spectrum as desired output of the artificial neural network.

Method, system and artificial neural network

An electronic device, including an input interface configured to receive an input signal, a command determination unit configured to determine a plurality of possible commands based on the input signal, and an output interface configured to provide a plurality of output information corresponding to effects associated with each of the plurality of determined possible commands.

Electronic device and method for identifying input commands of a user

An electronic device comprising circuitry configured to obtain an audio signal of a first passenger of a vehicle and to control a loudspeaker array to generate at least one virtual sound source that reproduces the audio signal obtained from the first passenger, the virtual sound source being provided for a second passenger.

An apparatus comprising circuitry configured to generate one or more focused sound sources as virtual loudspeakers of an announcement system.

Apparatus, system, method and computer program for distributing announcement messages

An apparatus is provided which has a receiver configured to receive a media stream from a broadcast source and a circuitry. The circuitry is configured to obtain a specific media content included in the received media stream from a second source.

Apparatus and method for playing back media content from multiple sources

A loudspeaker system comprising a diaphragm () and an electrostatic foil () mounted on top of the diaphragm ().

Loudspeaker system

Provided is a sound source separation device that includes a combining unit that combines a first sound source separation signal of a predetermined sound source, the first sound source separation signal being separated from a mixed sound signal by a first sound source separation system, with a second sound source separation signal of the sound source, the second sound source separation signal being separated from the mixed sound signal by a second sound source separation system that differs in separation performance from the first sound source separation system in predetermined units of time, and that outputs a sound source separation signal obtained by the combination.

Sound source separation device and method

A method for providing digital information based on a text document includes generating, for at least a first passage of the text document, first topic data indicative of a topic of the first passage using a first natural language analysis, performing a first search for the digital information using the first topic data, the first search providing a first search result, linking the first search result to the first passage, and displaying the first search result upon a request.
