Job Description

Context and Key Features

This postdoctoral research position is part of the REAVISE project, a collaborative effort between INRIA and the University of Lorraine, funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR). The project aims to develop a unified audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) framework, leveraging recent breakthroughs in statistical signal processing, machine learning, and deep neural networks.

The postdoctoral researcher will be supervised by an associate professor at the University of Lorraine and will be part of the INRIA Grenoble team.

Background

Audio-visual speech enhancement (AVSE) aims to improve the intelligibility and quality of noisy speech signals by utilizing complementary visual information, such as lip movements. This technique is particularly useful in highly noisy environments. The advent of deep neural network (DNN) architectures has led to significant advancements in AVSE, prompting extensive research into the area.

Existing DNN-based AVSE methods are divided into supervised and unsupervised approaches. Supervised approaches involve training a DNN on a large audiovisual corpus, while unsupervised methods employ statistical modeling combined with DNNs.

Objectives

In this project, we aim to develop a robust and efficient AVSE framework by thoroughly exploring the integration of recent deep-learning architectures designed for speech enhancement. Our goal is to leverage the strengths of both supervised and unsupervised approaches, alongside cutting-edge generative modeling techniques, to bridge their gap.

The main objectives of the project are:

  1. Develop a neural architecture that assesses the reliability of lip images, providing a normalized reliability score at the output.
  2. Design deep generative models that efficiently exploit the sequential nature of data and effectively fuse audio-visual features.
  3. Integrate the visual reliability analysis network within the deep generative model to selectively use visual data, enabling a flexible and robust framework for audio-visual fusion and enhancement.

Requirements

The preferred profile is described below:

  1. Master's degree, or equivalent, in the field of speech/audio processing, computer vision, machine learning, or a related field.
  2. Ability to work independently as well as in a team.
  3. Solid programming skills (Python, PyTorch) and deep learning knowledge.
  4. Good level of written and spoken English.

Benefits

The position offers:

  1. Subsidized meals.
  2. Partial reimbursement of public transport costs.
  3. Leave: 7 weeks of annual leave + 10 extra days off due to RTT (statutory reduction in working hours) + possibility of exceptional leave.
  4. Possibility of teleworking (after 6 months of employment) and flexible organization of working hours.
  5. Professional equipment available (videoconferencing, loan of computer equipment, etc.).
  6. Social, cultural, and sports events and activities.
  7. Access to vocational training.
  8. Social security coverage.

Salary

2788€ gross/month.
