We are delighted to share that Mr. Xiang Hao and Mr. Chenxiang Ma's groundbreaking paper, titled "When Audio Denoising Meets Spiking Neural Network," has been honored with the Best Paper Award at the 2024 IEEE Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IEEE CAI).
​
Their innovative research explores the application of spiking neural networks (SNNs) in audio denoising, leveraging brain-inspired architectures and computational principles to efficiently process and analyze audio signals. The paper introduces Spiking-FullSubNet, a cutting-edge, real-time audio denoising model based on SNN. The model incorporates a novel gated spiking neuron model (GSN) to effectively capture multi-scale temporal information, which is essential for achieving high-fidelity audio denoising. In addition to the architectural advancements, the authors propose the integration of GSNs within an optimized FullSubNet neural architecture, enabling efficient processing of full-band and sub-band frequencies while significantly reducing computational overhead. The paper also introduces a metric discriminator-based loss function that selectively enhances the desired performance metrics without compromising others. Empirical evaluations demonstrate the superior performance of Spiking-FullSubNet, which ranked as the winner of Track 1 (Algorithmic) of the Intel Neuromorphic Deep Noise Suppression Challenge.
