Speaker diarization, the process of segmenting an audio stream or transcribed speech content into homogenous partitions based on speaker identity, plays a crucial role in the interpretation and analysis of human speech. Most existing…
Freely available and easy-to-use audio editing tools make it straightforward to perform audio splicing. Convincing forgeries can be created by combining various speech samples from the same person. Detection of such splices is important…
Speaker diarization is an important problem that is topical, and is especially useful as a preprocessor for conversational speech related applications. The objective of this paper is two-fold: (i) segment initialization by uniformly…
Breaking down a document or a conversation into multiple contiguous segments based on its semantic structure is an important and challenging problem in NLP, which can assist many downstream tasks. However, current works on topic…
This study investigates robust speaker localization for con-tinuous speech separation and speaker diarization, where we use speaker directions to group non-contiguous segments of the same speaker. Assuming that speakers do not move and are…
Learning-based Text To Speech systems have the potential to generalize from one speaker to the next and thus require a relatively short sample of any new voice. However, this promise is currently largely unrealized. We present a method that…
Speaker identification, determining which character said each utterance in literary text, benefits many downstream tasks. Most existing approaches use expert-defined rules or rule-based features to directly approach this task, but these…
Topic segmentation and labeling is often considered a prerequisite for higher-level conversation analysis and has been shown to be useful in many Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. We present two new corpora of email and blog…
This paper focuses on multi-enrollment speaker recognition which naturally occurs in the task of online speaker clustering, and studies the properties of different scoring back-ends in this scenario. First, we show that popular cosine…
A frequent problem in settings where a unique resource must be shared among users is how to resolve the contention that arises when all of them must use it, but the resource allows only for one user each time. The application of efficient…
Speaker identification is the process of determining which registered speaker provides a given utterance. Speaker identification required to make a claim on the identity of speaker from the Ns trained speaker in its user database. In this…
Speaker Diarization (i.e. determining who spoke and when?) for multi-speaker naturalistic interactions such as Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL) sessions is a challenging task. In this study, we propose robust speaker clustering based on…
When dealing with overlapped speech, the performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems substantially degrades as they are designed for single-talker speech. To enhance ASR performance in conversational or meeting environments,…
Deep speaker embeddings have become the leading method for encoding speaker identity in speaker recognition tasks. The embedding space should ideally capture the variations between all possible speakers, encoding the multiple acoustic…
Breaking down a document or a conversation into multiple contiguous segments based on its semantic structure is an important and challenging problem in NLP, which can assist many downstream tasks. However, current works on topic…
Contrastive self-supervised learning (CSL) for speaker verification (SV) has drawn increasing interest recently due to its ability to exploit unlabeled data. Performing data augmentation on raw waveforms, such as adding noise or…
The success of deep learning-based speaker verification systems is largely attributed to access to large-scale and diverse speaker identity data. However, collecting data from more identities is expensive, challenging, and often limited by…
Contrastive predictive coding (CPC) aims to learn representations of speech by distinguishing future observations from a set of negative examples. Previous work has shown that linear classifiers trained on CPC features can accurately…
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…
Existing methods for speaker age estimation usually treat it as a multi-class classification or a regression problem. However, precise age identification remains a challenge due to label ambiguity, \emph{i.e.}, utterances from adjacent age…
