This paper presents our submission to the Iranian division of the Text-Dependent Speaker Verification Challenge (TdSV) 2024. Conventional TdSV approaches typically jointly model speaker and linguistic features, requiring unsegmented inputs…
Comprehending the overall intent of an utterance helps a listener recognize the individual words spoken. Inspired by this fact, we perform a novel study of the impact of explicitly incorporating intent representations as additional…
Dereverberation of a moving speech source in the presence of other directional interferers, is a harder problem than that of stationary source and interference cancellation. We explore joint multi channel linear prediction (MCLP) and…
