The performance of speaker verification degrades significantly when the test speech is corrupted by interference speakers. Speaker diarization does well to separate speakers if the speakers are temporally overlapped. However, if…
For many years, i-vector based audio embedding techniques were the dominant approach for speaker verification and speaker diarization applications. However, mirroring the rise of deep learning in various domains, neural network based audio…
This paper introduces an area-based source separation method designed for virtual meeting scenarios. The aim is to preserve speech signals from an unspecified number of sources within a defined spatial area in front of a linear microphone…
In this paper, we present state-of-the-art diarization error rates (DERs) on multiple publicly available datasets, including AliMeeting-far, AliMeeting-near, AMI-Mix, AMI-SDM, DIHARD III, and MagicData RAMC. Leveraging EEND-TA, a single…
End-to-end speaker diarization enables accurate overlap-aware diarization by jointly estimating multiple speakers' speech activities in parallel. This approach is data-hungry, requiring a large amount of labeled conversational data, which…
We propose an open-source framework for Command-style dictation that addresses the gap between resource-intensive Online systems and high-latency Batch processing. Our approach uses Voice Activity Detection (VAD) to segment audio and…
Overlapping speech diarization is always treated as a multi-label classification problem. In this paper, we reformulate this task as a single-label prediction problem by encoding the multi-speaker labels with power set. Specifically, we…
Deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) speakers typically have atypical speech caused by deafness. With the growing support of speech-based devices and software applications, more work needs to be done to make these devices inclusive to everyone. To…
Speech conveys not only linguistic information but also rich non-verbal vocal events such as laughing and crying. While semantic transcription is well-studied, the precise localization of non-verbal events remains a critical yet…
This paper presents Transcribe-to-Diarize, a new approach for neural speaker diarization that uses an end-to-end (E2E) speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition (SA-ASR). The E2E SA-ASR is a joint model that was recently proposed for…
Recent studies highlight the potential of textual modalities in conditioning the speech separation model's inference process. However, regularization-based methods remain underexplored despite their advantages of not requiring auxiliary…
Speaker-attributed automatic speech recognition (SA-ASR) aims to transcribe speech while assigning transcripts to the corresponding speakers accurately. Existing methods often rely on complex modular systems or require extensive fine-tuning…
Speaker diarization provides the answer to the question "who spoke when?" for an audio file. This information can be used to complete audio transcripts for further processing steps. Most speaker diarization systems assume that the audio…
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…
This paper describes a spatial-aware speaker diarization system for the multi-channel multi-party meeting. The diarization system obtains direction information of speaker by microphone array. Speaker spatial embedding is generated by…
Continuous speech separation plays a vital role in complicated speech related tasks such as conversation transcription. The separation model extracts a single speaker signal from a mixed speech. In this paper, we use transformer and…
Joint optimization of multi-channel front-end and automatic speech recognition (ASR) has attracted much interest. While promising results have been reported for various tasks, past studies on its meeting transcription application were…
Accurate transcription and speaker diarization of child-adult spoken interactions are crucial for developmental and clinical research. However, manual annotation is time-consuming and challenging to scale. Existing automated systems…
We propose to address online speaker diarization as a combination of incremental clustering and local diarization applied to a rolling buffer updated every 500ms. Every single step of the proposed pipeline is designed to take full advantage…
We present LibriWASN, a data set whose design follows closely the LibriCSS meeting recognition data set, with the marked difference that the data is recorded with devices that are randomly positioned on a meeting table and whose sampling…
