Speaker verification is hampered by background noise, particularly at extremely low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) under 0 dB. It is difficult to suppress noise without introducing unwanted artifacts, which adversely affects speaker verification. We proposed the mechanism called Gradient Weighting (Grad-W), which dynamically identifies and reduces artifact noise during prediction. The mechanism is based on the property that the gradient indicates which parts of the input the model is paying attention to. Specifically, when the speaker network focuses on a region in the denoised utterance but not on the clean counterpart, we consider it artifact noise and assign higher weights for this region during optimization of enhancement. We validate it by training an enhancement model and testing the enhanced utterance on speaker verification. The experimental results show that our approach effectively reduces artifact noise, improving speaker verification across various SNR levels.

A tunable differential $Q$ -enhanced bandpass filter covering 0.9–1.4 GHz with constant fractional bandwidth (FBW) is proposed using 40-nm CMOS technology in this letter. The proposed filter is constructed by two resonators which consist of ON-chip integrated inductors and varactors. The inductors of the two resonators are placed close to each other to form the mainline magnetic coupling of the filter. Besides the mainline coupling, the source port and load port are connected directly by capacitors, forming the source-to-load coupling. With the proposed structure, two transmission zeros (TZs) can be obtained, which can greatly increase the stopband rejection. Meanwhile, nMOS cross-coupled pairs are used as the $Q$ -enhanced cells to reduce the insertion loss (IL) and further improve the filter selectivity. A filter prototype based on 40-nm CMOS process is fabricated to validate the proposed structure. The center frequency (CF) of the proposed filter can be tuned from 0.9 to 1.4 GHz while keeping the FBW constant at 8%.

Ease of calibration and high-accuracy task-space state-estimation purely based on onboard sensors is a key requirement for enabling easily deployable cable robots in real-world applications. In this work, we incorporate the onboard camera and kinematic sensors to drive a statistical fusion framework that presents a unified localization and calibration system which requires no initial values for the kinematic parameters. This is achieved by formulating a Monte-Carlo algorithm that initializes a factor-graph representation of the calibration and localization problem. With this, we are able to jointly identify both the kinematic parameters and the visual odometry scale alongside their corresponding uncertainties. We demonstrate the practical applicability of the framework using our state-estimation dataset recorded with the ARAS-CAM suspended cable driven parallel robot, and published as part of this manuscript.
