Face-based Voice Conversion (FVC) is a novel task that leverages facial images to generate the target speaker's voice style. Previous work has two shortcomings: (1) suffering from obtaining facial embeddings that are well-aligned with the…
We address speaker-aware anti-spoofing, where prior knowledge of the target speaker is incorporated into a voice spoofing countermeasure (CM). In contrast to the frequently used speaker-independent solutions, we train the CM in a…
Audio Word2Vec offers vector representations of fixed dimensionality for variable-length audio segments using Sequence-to-sequence Autoencoder (SA). These vector representations are shown to describe the sequential phonetic structures of…
Existing speaker verification (SV) systems often suffer from performance degradation if there is any language mismatch between model training, speaker enrollment, and test. A major cause of this degradation is that most existing SV methods…
Although few-shot learning has attracted much attention from the fields of image and audio classification, few efforts have been made on few-shot speaker identification. In the task of few-shot learning, overfitting is a tough problem…
Speaker change detection is an important task in multi-party interactions such as meetings and conversations. In this paper, we address the speaker change detection task from the perspective of sequence transduction. Specifically, we…
Singing Voice Conversion (SVC) is a technique that enables any singer to perform any song. To achieve this, it is essential to obtain speaker-agnostic representations from the source audio, which poses a significant challenge. A common…
Speaker identification is a powerful, non-invasive and in-expensive biometric technique. The recognition accuracy, however, deteriorates when noise levels affect a specific band of frequency. In this paper, we present a sub-band based…
Speaker identity plays a significant role in human communication and is being increasingly used in societal applications, many through advances in machine learning. Speaker identity perception is an essential cognitive phenomenon that can…
Despite the maturity of modern speaker verification technology, its performance still significantly degrades when facing non-neutrally-phonated (e.g., shouted and whispered) speech. To address this issue, in this paper, we propose a new…
Speaker embeddings achieve promising results on many speaker verification tasks. Phonetic information, as an important component of speech, is rarely considered in the extraction of speaker embeddings. In this paper, we introduce phonetic…
Speaker verification is to judge the similarity between two unknown voices in an open set, where the ideal speaker embedding should be able to condense discriminant information into a compact utterance-level representation that has small…
This paper improves the speaker recognition rates of a MLP classifier and LPCC codebook alone, using a linear combination between both methods. In simulations we have obtained an improvement of 4.7% over a LPCC codebook of 32 vectors and…
Developing a good speaker embedding has received tremendous interest in the speech community, with representations such as i-vector and d-vector demonstrating remarkable performance across various tasks. Despite their widespread adoption, a…
