The temporal dynamics of speech, encompassing variations in rhythm, intonation, and speaking rate, contain important and unique information about speaker identity. This paper proposes a new method for representing speaker characteristics by…
The prevailing noise-resistant and reverberation-resistant localization algorithms primarily emphasize separating and providing directional output for each speaker in multi-speaker scenarios, without association with the identity of…
This paper highlights the critical importance of multi-channel speech enhancement (MCSE) for speech emotion recognition (ER) in cocktail party scenarios. A multi-channel speech dereverberation and separation front-end integrating DNN-WPE…
We address speaker-aware anti-spoofing, where prior knowledge of the target speaker is incorporated into a voice spoofing countermeasure (CM). In contrast to the frequently used speaker-independent solutions, we train the CM in a…
Most of the prior studies in the spatial \ac{DoA} domain focus on a single modality. However, humans use auditory and visual senses to detect the presence of sound sources. With this motivation, we propose to use neural networks with audio…
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…
Speaker identification using voice recordings leverages unique acoustic features, but this approach fails when only textual data is available. Few approaches have attempted to tackle the problem of identifying speakers solely from text, and…
Human can recognize speech, as well as the peculiar accent of the speech simultaneously. However, present state-of-the-art ASR system can rarely do that. In this paper, we propose a multilingual approach to recognizing English speech, and…
Speech separation has been extensively explored to tackle the cocktail party problem. However, these studies are still far from having enough generalization capabilities for real scenarios. In this work, we raise a common strategy named…
Despite there being clear evidence for top-down (e.g., attentional) effects in biological spatial hearing, relatively few machine hearing systems exploit top-down model-based knowledge in sound localisation. This paper addresses this issue…
In this work, we conducted an empirical comparative study of the performance of text-independent speaker verification in emotional and stressful environments. This work combined deep models with shallow architecture, which resulted in novel…
Attention-based sequence-to-sequence models for speech recognition jointly train an acoustic model, language model (LM), and alignment mechanism using a single neural network and require only parallel audio-text pairs. Thus, the language…
Identifying multiple speakers without knowing where a speaker's voice is in a recording is a challenging task. This paper proposes a hierarchical network with transformer encoders and memory mechanism to address this problem. The proposed…
Most state-of-the-art Deep Learning (DL) approaches for speaker recognition work on a short utterance level. Given the speech signal, these algorithms extract a sequence of speaker embeddings from short segments and those are averaged to…
Visual speech recognition is a technique to identify spoken content in silent speech videos, which has raised significant attention in recent years. Advancements in data-driven deep learning methods have significantly improved both the…
Speaker recognition performance in emotional talking environments is not as high as it is in neutral talking environments. This work focuses on proposing, implementing, and evaluating a new approach to enhance the performance in emotional…
In automatic speech recognition, any factor that alters the acoustic properties of speech can pose a challenge to the system's performance. This paper presents a novel approach for automatic whispered speech recognition in the Irish dialect…
Single-channel speech enhancement approaches do not always improve automatic recognition rates in the presence of noise, because they can introduce distortions unhelpful for recognition. Following a trend towards end-to-end training of…
As the popularity of voice user interface (VUI) exploded in recent years, speaker recognition system has emerged as an important medium of identifying a speaker in many security-required applications and services. In this paper, we propose…
Active speaker detection (ASD) in egocentric videos presents unique challenges due to unstable viewpoints, motion blur, and off-screen speech sources - conditions under which traditional visual-centric methods degrade significantly. We…
