Various informative factors mixed in speech signals, leading to great difficulty when decoding any of the factors. An intuitive idea is to factorize each speech frame into individual informative factors, though it turns out to be highly…
Various information factors are blended in speech signals, which forms the primary difficulty for most speech information processing tasks. An intuitive idea is to factorize speech signal into individual information factors (e.g., phonetic…
Speech signal is constituted and contributed by various informative factors, such as linguistic content and speaker characteristic. There have been notable recent studies attempting to factorize speech signal into these individual factors…
Speech signals are complex composites of various information, including phonetic content, speaker traits, channel effect, etc. Decomposing this complicated mixture into independent factors, i.e., speech factorization, is fundamentally…
We propose a completely unsupervised method to understand audio scenes observed with random microphone arrangements by decomposing the scene into its constituent sources and their relative presence in each microphone. To this end, we…
The accuracy of automated speaker recognition is negatively impacted by change in emotions in a person's speech. In this paper, we hypothesize that speaker identity is composed of various vocal style factors that may be learned from…
Disentanglement is the task of learning representations that identify and separate factors that explain the variation observed in data. Disentangled representations are useful to increase the generalizability, explainability, and fairness…
Speech signals are inherently complex as they encompass both global acoustic characteristics and local semantic information. However, in the task of target speech extraction, certain elements of global and local semantic information in the…
Recently deep neural networks (DNNs) have been used to learn speaker features. However, the quality of the learned features is not sufficiently good, so a complex back-end model, either neural or probabilistic, has to be used to address the…
Speech signals encompass various information across multiple levels including content, speaker, and style. Disentanglement of these information, although challenging, is important for applications such as voice conversion. The contrastive…
Children speech recognition is indispensable but challenging due to the diversity of children's speech. In this paper, we propose a filter-based discriminative autoencoder for acoustic modeling. To filter out the influence of various…
Multi-frame algorithms for single-channel speech enhancement are able to take advantage from short-time correlations within the speech signal. Deep Filtering (DF) was proposed to directly estimate a complex filter in frequency domain to…
Deep neural networks have largely demonstrated their ability to perform automated speech recognition (ASR) by extracting meaningful features from input audio frames. Such features, however, may consist not only of information about the…
The primary characteristic of robust speaker representations is that they are invariant to factors of variability not related to speaker identity. Disentanglement of speaker representations is one of the techniques used to improve…
While the use of deep neural networks has significantly boosted speaker recognition performance, it is still challenging to separate speakers in poor acoustic environments. Here speech enhancement methods have traditionally allowed improved…
The wide deployment of speech-based biometric systems usually demands high-performance speaker recognition algorithms. However, most of the prior works for speaker recognition either process the speech in the frequency domain or time…

Despite the recent success of deep learning for many speech processing tasks, single-microphone, speaker-independent speech separation remains challenging for two main reasons. The first reason is the arbitrary order of the target and…
Speaker recognition is a task of identifying persons from their voices. Recently, deep learning has dramatically revolutionized speaker recognition. However, there is lack of comprehensive reviews on the exciting progress. In this paper, we…
