Fractional-Order Subband p-Norm Adaptive Filter via Transformation Nearest Kronecker Product Decomposition for Active Noise Control

Abstract

The conventional normalized subband p-norm (NSPN) algorithm achieves robustness in $α$-stable noise ($1<α\leq 2$) by utilizing low-order error moments. However, its performance degrades significantly under three scenarios: (1) non-Gaussian inputs, (2) $α$-stable noise with $0<α\leq 1$, and (3) sparse system identification. To address these limitations, this paper proposes a fractional-order NSPN algorithm based on the nearest Kronecker product (NKP) decomposition and fractional-order stochastic gradient descent, termed NKP-FoNSPN. Theoretical bounds for the fractional-order parameter $β$ are also derived. Notably, when $β=1$, the NKP-FoNSPN reduces to a new NKP-NSPN algorithm, while its non-NKP decomposition variant becomes the fractional-order NSPN (FoNSPN) algorithm. Furthermore, a novel transformation-based NKP (TNKP) decomposition technique is designed, which exhibits lower computational complexity than conventional NKP for specific filter structures. The resulting TNKP-based FoNSPN (TNKP-FoNSPN) achieves lower steady-state misadjustment and multiplication cost compared with the NKP-FoNSPN algorithm. Additionally, complete computational complexity analyses are provided. For active noise control (ANC) scenarios, we develop filtered-x variants: NKP-FxFoNSPN and TNKP-FxFoNSPN. From the former, two additional variants are derived: NKP-FxNSPN and FxFoNSPN. Simulations using diverse noise sources (pink, helicopter, gunshot, pile driver, and traction substation noise) demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithms. Finally, we validate their noise reduction performance in a real constructed single-channel duct ANC and a simulated multi-channel ANC systems.

Recovering the Zipfian Distribution in Unsupervised Term Discovery

Unsupervised term discovery involves segmenting unlabelled speech into word- or syllable-like units and clustering these into a lexicon of candidate types. True lexicons follow a Zipfian distribution, yet the dominant centre-based clustering approach -- K-means -- produces a more uniform distribution due to an inductive bias toward spherical clusters. In this paper we revisit graph-based clustering as a bottom-up alternative, where segment embeddings are connected by pairwise similarity and partitioned using the Leiden algorithm. We show that graph clustering substantially outperforms centre-based approaches (K-means, GMM, BIRCH) in both word- and syllable-level lexicon discovery across three languages, producing more Zipf-like distributions. Another bottom-up approach, agglomerative clustering with average linkage, also performs well, although it is computationally less efficient and allows for less control over the resulting distribution. Our work calls into question the dominance of centre-based clustering for term discovery, and promotes graph clustering as an attractive alternative.

Preserving Speech-to-Text LLM Capabilities in Speech-to-Speech Generation

Strong speech-to-text (S2T) LLMs already provide robust speech perception and text reasoning, but adding speech-to-speech (S2S) output is challenging: fine-tuning the backbone can degrade the original S2T performance, while attaching a downstream talker reintroduces a serial text-to-speech bottleneck. We present PRIME-Speech, a frozen-backbone S2S conversion framework that trains only speech-generation modules. PRIME-Speech synchronizes a causal audio post-decoder with intermediate hidden states of the frozen backbone, so codec tokens are generated from the model's evolving reasoning trajectory rather than from completed text chunks. The post-decoder uses mixed hidden-state, text, and audio-history conditioning, and a training-time packing strategy with turn-level audio KV-cache and position reset stabilizes multi-turn spoken interaction without additional multi-turn S2S training data. Multi-token prediction further reduces the effective codec prediction rate and improves first-audio latency without modifying the reasoning path. Across speech translation, spoken QA, speech understanding, and multi-turn dialogue, PRIME-Speech preserves the S2T behavior of the frozen backbone while producing accurate, low-WER spoken responses.

Brain2Speech-Net: Fast and Intelligible Brain-to-Speech Synthesis Without Text Decoding

The loss of speech limits communication for individuals with paralysis. Direct neural-to-speech synthesis is challenging due to the limited availability of neural data for training speech brain-computer interfaces. Most existing systems rely on cascaded neural-to-text-to-speech pipelines, which increase inference latency and propagate errors across stages. We present Brain2Speech-Net, a single-stage neural-to-speech generation framework without intermediate text decoding. We use a differentiable phoneme bottleneck and a deep-HMM alignment mechanism to map long neural recordings into the latent space of a text-to-speech (TTS) model, enabling high-quality speech synthesis. Brain2Speech-Net is the only system in our comparison that produces intelligible speech while generating faster than real time.
