An efficient, and intuitive algorithm is presented for the identification of speakers from a long dataset (like YouTube long discussion, Cocktail party recorded audio or video).The goal of automatic speaker identification is to identify the…
Single-agent large language model (LLM) systems struggle to simultaneously support diverse conversational functions and maintain safety in behavioral health communication. We propose a safety-aware, role-orchestrated multi-agent LLM…
We introduce a family of multitask variational methods for semi-supervised sequence labeling. Our model family consists of a latent-variable generative model and a discriminative labeler. The generative models use latent variables to define…
Recent adoption of deep learning methods to the field of machine lipreading research gives us two options to pursue to improve system performance. Either, we develop end-to-end systems holistically or, we experiment to further our…
Paraphrase generation is a longstanding important problem in natural language processing. In addition, recent progress in deep generative models has shown promising results on discrete latent variables for text generation. Inspired by…
We present a cross-modal unsupervised framework for active speaker detection in media content such as TV shows and movies. Machine learning advances have enabled impressive performance in identifying individuals from speech and facial…
The mechanism proposed here is for real-time speaker change detection in conversations, which firstly trains a neural network text-independent speaker classifier using in-domain speaker data. Through the network, features of conversational…
Speaker Verification (SV) systems involve mainly two individual stages: feature extraction and classification. In this paper, we explore these two modules with the aim of improving the performance of a speaker verification system under…
This paper presents an online multiple-speaker localization and tracking method, as the INRIA-Perception contribution to the LOCATA Challenge 2018. First, the recursive least-square method is used to adaptively estimate the direct-path…
To model diverse responses for a given post, one promising way is to introduce a latent variable into Seq2Seq models. The latent variable is supposed to capture the discourse-level information and encourage the informativeness of target…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated superior abilities in tasks such as chatting, reasoning, and question-answering. However, standard LLMs may ignore crucial paralinguistic information, such as sentiment, emotion, and speaking…
While standard speaker diarization attempts to answer the question "who spoken when", most of relevant applications in reality are more interested in determining "who spoken what". Whether it is the conventional modularized approach or the…
Connecting audio encoders with large language models (LLMs) allows the LLM to perform various audio understanding tasks, such as automatic speech recognition (ASR) and audio captioning (AC). Most research focuses on training an adapter…
Text-dependent speaker verification is becoming popular in the speaker recognition society. However, the conventional i-vector framework which has been successful for speaker identification and other similar tasks works relatively poorly in…
Most existing keyword spotting research focuses on conditions with slight or moderate noise. In this paper, we try to tackle a more challenging task: detecting keywords buried under strong interfering speech (10 times higher than the…
Auditory attention and selective phase-locking are central to human speech understanding in complex acoustic scenes and cocktail party settings, yet these capabilities in multilingual subjects remain poorly understood. While machine…
This paper introduces a novel probabilistic mapping algorithm, LatentBKI, which enables open-vocabulary mapping with quantifiable uncertainty. Traditionally, semantic mapping algorithms focus on a fixed set of semantic categories which…
We introduce a novel latent vector space model that jointly learns the latent representations of words, e-commerce products and a mapping between the two without the need for explicit annotations. The power of the model lies in its ability…
This paper presents a self-supervised method for visual detection of the active speaker in a multi-person spoken interaction scenario. Active speaker detection is a fundamental prerequisite for any artificial cognitive system attempting to…
Informed speaker extraction aims to extract a target speech signal from a mixture of sources given prior knowledge about the desired speaker. Recent deep learning-based methods leverage a speaker discriminative model that maps a reference…
