Post-Doc/Research position in speech intelligibility enhancement

Place: TELECOM ParisTech, Paris, France Duration: 1 year Start: Any date from January 1st, 2015

Salary: according to background and experience

*Position description*

The position is supported by the national project ANR-AIDA1 which is a 3 year project started in October 2013.

1 ANR-AIDA : « Automobile Intelligible pour Déficients Auditifs » - http://aida.wp.mines-telecom.fr/

The aim of the project is to provide new means to improve speech intelligibility of audio messages in the car environment, letting the user the possibility to tune the system to his/her own audition deficiency. In this context, the role of the PostDoc/researcher will consist in conducting forefront research in Speech processing and in directly participating to the project by building flexible software modules for speech intelligibility enhancement. The domain of speech enhancement mainly aims at suppressing the noise in noisy speech signals but does not in general significantly enhances speech intelligibility. In this project, we are mainly interested in enhancing intelligibility in noisy conditions taking into account specific hearing deficiencies. The developed approaches will then be at the crossroads of the domains of denoising and voice transformation.
