Health acoustic sounds such as coughs and breaths are known to contain useful health signals with significant potential for monitoring health and disease, yet are underexplored in the medical machine learning community. The existing deep…
Large-scale in-the-wild speech datasets have become more prevalent in recent years due to increased interest in models that can learn useful features from unlabelled data for tasks such as speech recognition or synthesis. These datasets…
Only a few studies have been reported regarding human ear recognition in long wave infrared band. Thus, we have created ear database based on long wave infrared band. We have called that the database is long wave infrared band MIDAS…
With the soaring adoption of in-ear wearables, the research community has started investigating suitable in-ear heart rate (HR) detection systems. HR is a key physiological marker of cardiovascular health and physical fitness. Continuous…
Requirements quality is central to successful software and systems engineering. Empirical research on quality defects in natural language requirements relies heavily on datasets, ideally as realistic and representative as possible. However,…
The proliferation of hate speech on social media necessitates automated detection systems that balance accuracy with computational efficiency. This study evaluates 38 model configurations in detecting hate speech across datasets ranging…
In conversational speech separation and recognition tasks, close-talk microphones are typically attached to each speaker during training data collection to capture near-field, close-talk mixture signals, in addition to using far-field…
Reverberation not only degrades the quality of speech for human perception, but also severely impacts the accuracy of automatic speech recognition. Prior work attempts to remove reverberation based on the audio modality only. Our idea is to…
One of the most challenging scenarios for smart speakers is multi-talker, when target speech from the desired speaker is mixed with interfering speech from one or more speakers. A smart assistant needs to determine which voice to recognize…
Augmented listening devices such as hearing aids often perform poorly in noisy and reverberant environments with many competing sound sources. Large distributed microphone arrays can improve performance, but data from remote microphones…
Most existing cry detection models have been tested with data collected in controlled settings. Thus, the extent to which they generalize to noisy and lived environments is unclear. In this paper, we evaluate several established machine…
We present mHuBERT-147, the first general-purpose massively multilingual HuBERT speech representation model trained on 90K hours of clean, open-license data. To scale up the multi-iteration HuBERT approach, we use faiss-based clustering,…
Own voice pickup for hearables in noisy environments benefits from using both an outer and an in-ear microphone outside and inside the occluded ear. Due to environmental noise recorded at both microphones, and amplification of the own voice…
Whisper, despite being trained on 680K hours of web-scaled audio data, faces difficulty in recognising rare words like domain-specific terms, with a solution being contextual biasing through prompting. To improve upon this method, in this…
Measuring the acoustic characteristics of a space is often done by capturing its impulse response (IR), a representation of how a full-range stimulus sound excites it. This work generates an IR from a single image, which can then be applied…
Speech modeling methods learn one embedding for a fixed segment of speech, typically in between 10-25 ms. The information present in speech can be divided into two categories: "what is being said" (content) and "how it is expressed" (other)…
The ability for a machine learning model to cope with differences in training and deployment conditions--e.g. in the presence of distribution shift or the generalization to new classes altogether--is crucial for real-world use cases.…
In this paper, we focus on improving the performance of the text-dependent speaker verification system in the scenario of limited training data. The speaker verification system deep learning based text-dependent generally needs a large…
Child-centered daylong recordings are essential for studying early language development, but existing speech models trained on clean adult data perform poorly due to acoustic and linguistic differences. We introduce BabyHuBERT, a…
Recent progress in self-supervised or unsupervised machine learning has opened the possibility of building a full speech processing system from raw audio without using any textual representations or expert labels such as phonemes,…
