Diffusion Models for Audio Restoration

no code implementations15 Feb 2024 Jean-Marie Lemercier, Julius Richter, Simon Welker, Eloi Moliner, Vesa Välimäki, Timo Gerkmann

Here, we aim to show that diffusion models can combine the best of both worlds and offer the opportunity to design audio restoration algorithms with a good degree of interpretability and a remarkable performance in terms of sound quality.

EMOCONV-DIFF: Diffusion-based Speech Emotion Conversion for Non-parallel and In-the-wild Data

no code implementations14 Sep 2023 Navin Raj Prabhu, Bunlong Lay, Simon Welker, Nale Lehmann-Willenbrock, Timo Gerkmann

Subsequently, at inference, a target emotion embedding is employed to convert the emotion of the input utterance to the given target emotion.

Live Iterative Ptychography with projection-based algorithms

no code implementations14 Sep 2023 Simon Welker, Tal Peer, Henry N. Chapman, Timo Gerkmann

In this work, we demonstrate that the ptychographic phase problem can be solved in a live fashion during scanning, while data is still being collected.

Deep Iterative Phase Retrieval for Ptychography

no code implementations17 Feb 2022 Simon Welker, Tal Peer, Henry N. Chapman, Timo Gerkmann

One of the most prominent challenges in the field of diffractive imaging is the phase retrieval (PR) problem: In order to reconstruct an object from its diffraction pattern, the inverse Fourier transform must be computed.
